Fusion Thruster Rebalance


Rebalances the Fusion Thruster mod: each thruster consumes a set amount of water (oxidizer) and fusion-plasma fuel per second, tuned so a set of 42 thrusters runs on 2 fusion reactors, with water supplied by unbarreling. Default 300/s per thruster at normal quality (750/s at legendary). The hidden plasma converter is sized so it can keep up with legendary-quality thrusters. No-op if the Fusion Thruster mod is not installed.

Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026-07-29
  Changes:
    - Account for quality: the hidden plasma converter is spawned at normal
      quality (so its speed never scales), which starved higher-quality
      thrusters. The converter recipe is now sized for a max-quality thruster
      (THRUSTER_QUALITY constant, default legendary = 2.5), so it can deliver a
      legendary thruster's full 750/s (300 base x 2.5).
    - The 2-reactors-per-42-thrusters ratio is unchanged and remains correct:
      legendary reactors and legendary thrusters both scale by 2.5x, so the
      balance holds at any (matching) quality.
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-07-29
  Features:
    - Rebalances the Fusion Thruster mod. Each fusion thruster now consumes a
      configurable amount of water and fusion-plasma fuel per second (default
      300 each), and the hidden plasma converter is retuned so a set of 42
      thrusters runs on just 2 fusion reactors.
    - Startup setting for the per-thruster consumption; set size (42) and
      reactor count (2) are editable constants in data-final-fixes.lua.
