Can you explain how this benefits the game (not doesn't hurt but actively benefits)? The power generation system in Factorio seems to be pretty well fleshed out, and this seems to just make a far more efficient and easier version of the solid fuel to boiler power generation.

If you want to play around with the idea, here is a mod that implements something similar: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/tiered-ga ... rom=search.

We don't need more power options. There is solar, early boiler, nuclear and fusion. Each have 5 steps to output more power (quality). And tons of mods with different power generations. Start scrolling those mods and take what you think is balanced.
