Eruption Drill Buff:

[SomeonesShade]

Describe what you would like changed, and why.

Eruption Drill is lackluster on its output (4.16), as a thor tech drill. Large Plasma Bore with Nitrogen (4.5) outclasses its throughoutput, so I am suggesting adding in a new booster to make it useful lategame

Describe the changes you want to propose. Include possible alternatives.

Proposal A: Cyanogen (0.8 cyano/s) for x2.5 boost It is a unique booster that is hard to create and unlocked lategame. This booster gives the drill a different liquid profile than large plasma bore. options is roughly 0.64 to 1.8 cyano (picking 0.8 is a good ballpark)

based on that 900 pu is a good power cost for the boost (math is just computing for cyanogen equivalent)

math: (P/A)*C
P = Power Consumption for Boost
A = Arkycite Efficiency for Power to Arky Conversion
C = Conversion factor from Arkycite To Cyano (40/3)
using neo A = 105 gives roughly 0.64, while pyrol A = 37.5 gives 1.8

Proposal B: Nitrogen (7/s) for x2.5 boost for something easy to get, with phase tech heating, and the i/s the boost provides it should not be less than large plasma bore (since lpd bore nitro gives 2.7 i/s, eruption should eat a similar nitro amount per the output gained from it)

math: (G-e/G-lpd * Nitro-lpd)
G-e = i/s gained for eruption upon boost = 6.24
G-lpd = i/s gained for lpd upon boost = 2.7
Nitro-lpd = amount of nitro needed for boost for lpd = 3
result: 6.9333333
rounding up to get a 7 nitro/sec mininum
