Ok, let me try to explain. I found some Legendary Energy Storage (Krastorio 2) and they are huge — 1.5 GJ capacity and 12.5 MW input/output. With these specs, they are stronger than what my ship can actually deliver.
But when I use abilities on the ship, I end up losing 40–90% of the stored power. Is this taken from the total power storage? If yes, that means I’ll need a massive power plant and can no longer rely on solar or wind.
Wouldn’t it be better if abilities consumed power only from a dedicated ability energy pool? That pool could scale with researched tech and grow over time, without draining the main power storage.
On top of that, the power distribution between ship levels seems broken. Many times I run out of power when using an ability, or some levels remain empty even if another floor (like floor 2) has a nuclear power plant and full capacity. I know there are transfer limits, but it doesn’t seem to work properly.
My initial plan was to add a Legendary Energy Storage on each level to have a power reserve, but if abilities consume 40–90% each time, I would need a massive antimatter power plant — and I’m far from that tech.
So what’s the solution? Is there a way for abilities to consume only from an ability-specific energy pool instead of draining the main Legendary Energy Storage?
