b [Fixed]IR2 Incorrect Steam Requirement Values

2 years ago

noticed an issue regarding steam requirements for pre-iron machines in IR2, where machines were listed as requiring ridiculous sums of steam, significantly more than they actually need. for example, a steam assembler requires 125 KW of power, equaling 250 steam a minute, or 4.167 steam a second, as shown here https://puu.sh/IokpF/96354877b2.png and on the info panel on the right (rounded to 4.17). however, helmod states that a single assembler (https://puu.sh/IokBL/f53e32f824.png) requires 62.6 steam a second, or 3751 steam a minute (https://puu.sh/IokBw/761edd6f6c.png). that's 15 times more consumption than it actually requires.

now, I can kinda work around this by adding steam at the bottom, then unlinking it and dividing the amount needed by 15, but I figured I'd let you know there seems to be some kind of calculation error somewhere that's claiming I need hundreds of boilers for a very basic, early-game IR2 mall lol

I just noticed the same issue when I started playing Industrial Revolution yesterday. It makes the steam powered assemblers quite inconvenient to work with in Helmod and a fix would be much appreciated

This should be fixed in 0.12.8
