[2.0.24] Is the rocket silo’s power usage backwards?

Post by db48x »

It uses a very modest amount of power, 1.5MW, while building a rocket. Then it uses 26MW while _launching_ the rocket, then down to 1.5MW for a second or two, then back to full power to lift the next rocket into place. That just seems backwards to me.

My silo has a crafting speed of 2.17× and a power consumption of +507%. Interestingly the side panel says the max power is 24.22MW but it really does use 26MW in practice. When idle it does go down to 8.3kW as advertised.
