Atomic coffeemaker requires charges and boiling water uses more power than a electric forge melting metals #67863

Describe the bug

Current experimental atomic coffeemaker now is unable to boil or make tea/coffee or other liquid's on it's own without other fuel sources, time and electricity requirement's of boiling and making a 2L jug of coffee now not only take's upwards of 3 hour's but also take's more power than a most industrial uses of power eg. forging consumes 240 energy units while boiling a liter of water takes 1000 energy unit's

Steps to reproduce

Try to boil any drinks in the latest experimental with and without a grid

Expected behavior

Either change description of the Atomic coffee to remove it betavoltaic effects (removing a legacy items effect's and meme humor) or restore original free cooking functionality. For balancing either lower the electricity and time consumption on tea's/drinks reasonable fuel consumption or increase the forges requirement's to ridiculous levels.

The atomic coffeemaker was remade to be more realistic while retaining some of its original value (at least that's what I believe happened during its rework) and so does indeed use battery charge - it is slightly more energy efficient than a normal coffeemaker (for black coffee 115 vs 125 charges to craft)

The forge energy uses are bullshit, it's a known issue. The solution is to make them realistic, not to fictionalize the cooking costs again.

As for time requirements, that's a separate problem of the character having to stare at the tea as it boils... Which is a problem, yeah, but not an easily solvable one.

Ah cool can probably remove this issue then sorry for the repost
