[2.0.32] Fusion Reactor 2x2, only 2 get full bonus.

I have a "normal" 2x2 array of Fusion Reactors.

2 of them get the expected +200% bonus -- the diagonal upper-right/lower-left ones.

2 of them -- the other diagonal: upper-left/lower-right -- get a lesser, fluctuating bonus.

All 4 are operating and have fluid.

Pix attached.

This sounds like you have excess power production capability on your reactor compared to your consumption , as such some of the cores must be "overflowing" with plasma, "output full" and stop working temporarily, occasionning the diminished neighbour bonus.

I would expect that for current output, but not for maximum output.

By way of example my nearby nuclear plant (also 2x2, also not running at full capacity) shows the full neighbor bonuses for all 4.

I'm not sure what you mean, but when seeing the picture of a core outputing 2.4/4 per second, i am understanding it as a core not working at full capacity, and since it's not a cold fluoroketone shortage, and i can read 9.9/10 plasma on it, i'm guessing it is going from 10 to a bit less to 10 again , which is what i called "plasma overflow", the reactor doesn't work some period of time, and this makes the neighbour bonus/plasma temperature not as high as expected.

The nuclear power plant cannot have the same phenomenon occuring
