Heating towers will only consume 15 MW of spoilage, which is especially noticeable at higher qualities. This is annoying when trying to dispose of several stacks of spoilage at once.

To reproduce (using the map editor):

1. Build a legendary heating tower, with enough exchangers/turbines to consume all of its heat.
2. Use an electric enery interface to consume the tower's energy.
3. Build 3 turbo loaders to fill it with spoilage.
4. Observe the power production. It will only be 37.5 MW instead of the 100 MW that it should be producing.

I suspect this has to do with the heating tower consuming more than one spoilage per tick.

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed for the next release.
