KS Power Rebalancing (Reborn)
A balance pass for KS Power by Klonan, continued for Factorio 2.1.
Originally made by OwnlyMe (KS Power Rebalancing), which no longer loads on 2.1. Replaces the original; your quality boilers, generators and settings carry over.
What it changes
Fuels: fluid fuels get distinct roles. Gas is the cleanest, diesel is the densest, crude is cheap and dirty.
| Fuel | Fuel value | Pollution |
|---|---|---|
| Crude oil | 0.48 MJ | 1.4x |
| Heavy oil | 0.6 MJ | 1.3x |
| Light oil | 1.08 MJ | 1.1x |
| Petroleum gas | 0.9 MJ | 0.45x |
| Diesel fuel | 1.5 MJ | 0.7x |
Solid fuel 10.8 MJ. Fuel pollution: wood 1.1x, solid fuel 0.9x, rocket fuel 0.8x, nuclear fuel 0.7x. Diesel Fuel recipe uses 10 petroleum gas instead of 20.
Buildings
- Burner Generator: 0.7 MW, 70% efficiency (was 25%), 22 pollution/MW
- Big Burner Generator: 50 MW, 80% efficiency (was 50%), 18 pollution/MW
- Diesel Generator: 85% efficiency, full 4 MW only on diesel
- Oil Boiler: half the pollution, makes 240° steam, so it feeds exactly 2 steam engines or 1 steam turbine
- Steam Engine: accepts steam up to 240°
Quality: higher-quality boilers and generators get +15% fuel efficiency per quality level with the same pollution per MW. Vanilla and oil boilers also make hotter steam (+30% per level, up to the steam limit) for steam turbines.
Optional (startup settings)
- Disable the Burner Generator, Big Burner Generator, Diesel Generator, Oil Boiler or Wind Turbine individually
- Productivity modules on Diesel Fuel (off by default)
- Diesel Fuel in flamethrower turrets, 115% damage (on)
- Cars, tanks and trains pollute (on)
- Space Age: Wind Turbine needs an atmosphere, no more wind on space platforms (on)
- Space Age: burner/oil generators need an atmosphere like the vanilla boiler (off, so diesel space platforms still work)
Compatibility
- Works with or without Space Age and Quality.
- Krastorio 2 Wind Turbine (ZarSasha's Fork): when installed, the KS Power wind turbine is removed and hers is used instead.
- Russian translation included, for KS Power's buildings too.
Fixed from the original
- Game failed to start on 2.1 (legendary oil boiler steam above the new 500° limit)
- Building quality boilers could duplicate or delete the item
- "1 is not valid magnitude" crash
- Plus everything in the changelog
