2 years ago yeah let EDC give a addition multiplier to the power is a good idea. but the problem is here if i revert gating hatch: it supports mulit amps hatch. it means you can actually get 64a iv in iv-tier. (manii used few fields of terrawart for Auram to feed the LEG and got 64a iv output stablely before). it is too OP. the adept cell's recipe is actually shitty and deserve modifying but the left are ok imo, the master cell can give you 1a uv if you run with a 64a iv hatch.

Your Proposal
I thought of a better way to do it, after writing the last one.
Instead of using the coils to gate each tier of hatch... why not just gate efficiency based off the essentia diffusion cells tier.
Lets take the EBF for example, you don't gate the ebf's energy hatches based off it's coils. You can just keep upgrading the hatches and ports, and it'll keep getting faster and better overall, you upgrade the coils to unlock the ability to smelt new tiers of metals and such.
Likewise, how about instead of gating the dynamos on the LEG by the diffusion cells, how about we use the diffusion cells to add a multiplier instead?
Perhaps the novice ones would add a 0.5x multiplier to the eu per essentia point, it already does this with with the essentia generator upgrades such as thermal, which can make custom1 go from being worth 300,000 Eu per point (or whatever it is), to around 18.9 mil Eu per point (or wahtever) with it's coefficients and all that!
Why not apply a similar factor to the diffusion cells then! So that you can keep using it no matter what tier you're in, it just might be more or less efficient per tier!
Say Novice was gated at MV and was 0.5x
Adept was gated at Ev and was either 0.75x or 1x
Master was gated at LuV and was either 1x or 1.5x or even 2x
and Grandmaster being gated at UV and being between 2x and 4x or something!
Your Goal
The LEG is a rather new multi, and I feel that it could use a little boosting, and I feel that the current method of gating each power tier using it by it's diffusion cells is a rather lame and poor execution for what it could be! I don't think the diffusion cells should gate it's power production, that kind of makes it fall behind compared to other power producing multis, and we need to remember, this isn't an infinite eu generating machine like the MEA, this is a finite machine like any other, so as such, should be treated like that!
Your Vision
I think that by giving this multi a boost in this way, it will be fine tuned a lot more to what it was meant to be, and even give people a reason to use thaumcraft more than it is! Because as it currently is, it's only really useful for HV tiers rn as the rest of it's parts are getting in the late tiers of their respective power outputs, and with that, makes it sort of useless for it's tier, since 4x EV power by the end of EV for a fuck ton of desh is kind of piss in output!
