Fuel burning rate
Posted: Fri Feb 21, 2020 9:04 am
Hello.
I have idea to increase deapth of fuel management : add "burning rate" property for fuels. This multiplier will apply to power consumption and working speed of burner devices.
For example, currently power capacity of coal is twice that of wood. With burning rate 2, coal will burn in the same time as wood, but burner device will do twice as much work as it will consume twice as much energy.
Also this multiplier can replace scattered vehicle bonuses.
With 2 parameters - energy capacity and burning rate - player will have to choose fuel wisely. For example, solid fuel has higher capacity then coal, but might have lower burning rate. Rocket fuel isn't energy efficient, but it might have huge burning rate. As an extansion, coke made of coal might have even higher burning rate at the price of net capacity loss.
Does burner devices raise any event when new fuel item gets consumed, so script could intervene? I have nearly none experience with modding API.
I don't really know is this a suggestion or API request.
Thanks.
