Currently (in both dev & release versions) the power gen options available in the pack are pretty limited as far as what's actually good power gen.
The meta is pretty much
Steam (sugar cane) -> Numis -> fission (in dev) -> solars or fusion
I'd really like to see a wider variety of power gen options, not just basically having 1 "meta" power gen and everything else is just bad in comparison. Buffing GT powergen at most stages of the game could help with this. Diesel generators, diesel engines, gas turbine, steam turbine. Just having a wider variety of options for power gen I think could make the pack more interesting.

Yeah, I think having variety in powergen is a good idea. I support buffing diesel, so its almost as good as numis at IVish. Maybe some other powergen options made viable sprinkled throughout the game?

It's been a year and a half...
Oh well I'll add it to my fork.

The summary of my thoughts on this are:

With fission added, we have filled in the pain point that previously existed around IV where you would need to make tons of numis to make it to the next viable power system. Fission reactors can scale up well through late game as well, if one chooses to invest in that rather than solars or fusion power.

We aren't interested in disruptively changing the existing power progression system. It incentivizes the types of infrastructure we want players to be making so as to not get caught off guard down the line and have to wait for resources they should have to accumulate. Too many options, especially if replaced quickly, can also be quite frustrating.
