For beacons, the only possible energy_source (s) are electrical and void. An idea I had for a planet mod I'm working on was a high productivity beacon powered via a fluid. I think it'd be useful to allow beacons to be powered by BurnerEnergySource, HeatEnergySource, or FluidEnergySource.
Cheers.

Re: Energy Sources for Beacon Prototypes
As mentioned 113632 the reasons are still the same.
* We would have to engine level support beacons having multiple update mods depending on the energy source type
* The performance of a beacon not having full energy would still be bad
* The added complexity to write, test, bug fix and maintain burner beacons has not been deemed worth it
