g Thruster Propulsion (Recipe)

5 months ago

I wanted to say I have been having a lot of fun with voidblock and I really appreciate all the effort you have put into these mods.

I find that the Thruster Propulsion recipe (use 5 void fuel and make %50 of 300 Thruster fuel and %50 of 300 Thruster oxidizer) seems a little odd. I understand it aligns with the rest of mod with making percentages of items. However, excess items can typically turned into void flux but not Thruster fuel/oxidizer. It can only be consumed in equal amounts in a Thruster, so as time passes and with how percentage based creation eventually leads to deviation, you will always have more of one than the other. I would understand if it was part of some sort of challenge with turning excess fluid into something else. But since there is no such option, the only thing I can do is just manually flush excess fluids from the storage tanks every once in a while.

Wouldn't it be better if the recipe was just 5 void fuel into 150 Thruster fuel and 150 Thruster oxidizer?

Personally, I got around this issue by just using voidcraft to make the base material which then get crafted into the fuel. You don't even need that much.

EDIT : Here is my own setup (https://i.imgur.com/QJ7KceP.png), which produce enough fuel & oxidizer to power 10 thrusters constantly.

The expected value of a 100% chance of 150 is 150. The expected value of 50% chance of 300 is also 150. Long term, the outcome will be the same. If you're being tripped up by short term fluctuations then you probably just need more storage tanks.

I already setup my ship like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/voidblock-spaceship-2-gQlOsWV

It has 39 thrusters and 80 chemical plants making thruster fuel for150,000 storage tank units each. But yeah, I think I'm going to switch to making the base materials instead, probably when I unlock fusion.
