No Maximal Power Production

[skillabstinenz]

10 steam engines produce 510kw*10 = 5100kw while 17 radars cost 300kw*17 = 5100kw yet they can‘t fully power them.

Same with solar, 1 radar 300kw cannot be fully powered by 5 solar collectors 5* 60kw = 300kw

It's probably a rounding error which looses precision.

I suspect the power bleed might be responsible. Every structure that uses power looses power constantly. I think, so when you disconnect it, you can see it's internal power buffer drain away in around a second. You can also see it when you have not enough power, and idle machines show a full bar, but yellow, indicating they don't have 100% power.

10 steam engines at 100% load produce enough power but they don't run at 100% load - if you look at the water you can see it's not exactly 100c and as such the steam engines run at around 98-99% load resulting in just under the maximum output.

This is due to the fluid flow mechanics and isn't something we're looking at changing anytime soon.

Ah, that is probably why they are set to 510MW, instead of a clean 500MW.

May as well just be an arbitrary balancing thing. You should ask about the solar panels

Seems to work fine, and also not really seeing a bug
