i think the rocket fuel recipe is a little bit unbalanced, as it both takes very little water (only ~100 water, like barely 100mj of power to run the machines with no modules, but generates 2.4gj worth of rocket fuel? sure, it's significantly higher power draw than an equivalent oil processing setup, but its significantly simpler, and still generates way more than it takes, while running off just water (unlike oil, which has yields that decrease)
could i suggest changing the numbers that it takes to make the rocket fuel, making it significantly more expensive? something on the scale of only making 1 rocket fuel for like 5x the cost (200 LH2 and 100 LOX) so it doesnt make an infinite power loop anywhere near as easy and not invalidate making rocket fuel the normal way
for the record i think the thruster fuel recipes are fine, takes much more water than normal fuel and takes more machines which is a fine tradeoff for platforms
