[REQUEST] resource gather rate scaling

Post by thereaverofdarkness »

I want a mod which scales pumpjacks to output a maximum of 1 oil per second (at oil patch 100%), causing larger oil patches to simply take longer to deplete, rather than granting more oil. Once oil patch goes under 100%, the yield starts to decrease. I think this happens at 15000 oil remaining.

Then I also want mining drills to have reduced output when there is less total resource under them, maybe electric mining drills have maximum output at 2500 units or more total within the mining drill's radius. Burner drills probably should get max output at a smaller number, like 400. So averaging 100 units per square.

No, that's not even similar. The only thing my request has in common with Oil Patch Exhauster is that they both deal with oil. Oil Patch Exhauster adds an entity which--as I understand it--will generate a moderate amount of oil as one output all at once as it kills a depleted oil patch.
