In addition: The hydrate>water melter is effected by engineers. When I made it standard efficiency at all temps for a temporary fix, a level 2 engineer will boost efficiency from 5% to 65%, but nothing else will be boosted (maybe the hydrate output, at 7% I don't think so though), rendering it fairly useless.
Hydrate drills must be warm in order to melt hydrates>water effectively. They run cold, so they're very slow.
