Power Compsumption ( BASE )

[Jeddak]

While most are complaining about the micro transactions these days im gonna start with at a 170 hours played how unbalance the Power Consumption is.

At peak the best generators cant support a full singular production line
Generators Need power output boosted by atleast 10% ( deviants dont do enough when limited by 20 )

Water pumps ( ground ) / brewing barrels / Water Purifiers ( both )
Need power consumption cut by 50%

There is also a glitch I cant seem to track down with my Polluted pumps pinking up purified water but only when im offline, when Im online they work correctly...

Passive acid farm is mostly a waste of time. Spamming refinery with people give tons of Acid and SS, and if you have maxed buff furnace you don't need much acid anyway (-30% consumed material and double yield tungsten).

You can also ask people to build maxed out generators. There are buff to watts generation on top of having 8 generators.

Big Boom Boom is right again. A person with the right specialization can give you around 47 watts of power for the first solar panel.

Power is intended to be a sort of limiter as to how much you can have going at once. It forces you to try and economize where you can, or make use of switches to control what things are active. For example, even with acid farms, you are unlikely to be running all your brewing barrels at once.

how can a passive acid farm be a waste of time when its passive, how is it wasting your time? by setting it up? lol

even if you wouldnt need the acid yourself, selling is always an option and allows you to earn EL fairly easy.



Obv. not with the last problem the op has, i had these issues myself but with enough watching cycles and moving pumps around this behavior fully stopped for me.

It's hardly worth your time, at all. Acid is so abundant they are about 50EL or lower, and you are lucky if you get to sell them at all when there are hundred of trucks selling the same. Not even Stardust Source worth farming when people got hundred of thousands of them. It's season 2, people got wiser, even full buff benches furnace or kitchen get sold in the first 2 phases.

The most people made is easily shiny dev, they worth big bucks. Even then it's usually the first few weeks. BP calibration is another worthwhile.

well you clearly speaking from a "you" perspective or a perspective of specific servers, not everyone is in their second season.

Regardless it is out of balance, time vs returns on farming, brewing and power are crazy low without having to completely handicap skills..
