i [Implemented] Capacity settings?

12 days ago

Hi, nice mod!

Would you consider adding configurable bucket capacity settings? Maybe multiplier?

Okay, I've added a startup multiplier setting that can go up to 50x.

Note that the intended way to get "better buckets" is to upcycle them using the Quality mechanic, although I appreciate that not everyone will want to play with the Quality mod.

Actually, I meant smaller buckets, like 50-200 units :)

I think it could create a natural early-game bootstrap mechanic. For example, manually starting the first steam engine before electric offshore pumps and automation are available.

Large capacities feel more like portable tanks than buckets :)

In 0.2.2, I've replaced the setting entirely and you can now directly assign the capacity of the normal-quality bucket. (valid values are from 10 to 500,000)

The reason I picked the capacity values that I did is that I don't want it to be too annoying to move fluids out of vanilla Storage tank (and a lot of modded tanks are much larger), but there should still be an incentive to get quality Buckets.

So the normal Bucket carries 10,000 (you need three to empty a Storage tank), and Rare is the first quality that can hold a tank's worth (30,000 > 25,000).

Thank you!
