Req: Fuel burns until gone mod

Post by Lynsis »

Was wondering if theres a mod that makes it so if you use say 1 coal to smelt 1 iron, instead of the fuel "pausing" it continues to get used up until it would use the next unit of fuel then stops.

I'm fairly sure this is a mechanic enforced by the game engine itself, therefore not something you can really change by using a mod.

Is there such a thing as a idle drain for burner energy source? I can't find how to code it for electric energy source, even in code for entities I know have it.

Some entities like Inserters and Laser turrets have a drain setting. Others like Assembling machines have an enforced drain of a certain percentile of the normal consumption, or something like that.
