Crystal usage / Pressure Tanks

[GD]

What logic follow the Pressure Tanks regarding the usage of crystal matter?
a) Constant over time?
b) Depending on time and the pressure increases to 100 (e.g. 99 to 100 would use the crystal extremly slow)
c) Depending on the amount of water consumers on the net?

I don't really understand it.

Wait what? Are these crystals some kind of placeholder for a power system that makes sense later on in development?

[GD]

Yes actually. It's Hydro(water)-neer. Crystals increase the pressure in pipes and only at 100% you get 100% results.

So what are they a placeholder for?

Well power of course.

There are two main consumables in this game: Crystals for Pumps to ensure water pressure and Spanners to repair devices. I currently need 10-12 Toolboxes with 5 spanners each per hour to keep up my automated setup.

as I understand the game so far, the expending of crystals to increase pressure is constant as long as water is on. I dont know the exact amount, but I know the tiny crystals you get around the surface go almost as fast as you can put them in the chambers, so I always smelt a bunch together and make a bar to work with.
