Suggestion: Allow modules/beacons for pumpjacks #162

Closed Nucleus24 closed 4 years ago

Nucleus24 commented 4 years ago

Currently, modules and beacons work on miners, but not pumpjacks. It would be safe to assume minimum per-pumpjack output, to simulate steady state conditions.

KirkMcDonald commented 4 years ago

More generally, the calculator does not model the output rate of pumpjacks at all, due to the amount of variability in a pumpjack's output. This is a duplicate of #52.

Pumpjacks do have a variable output at the start, but with use every pumpjack will eventually be "drained" and at 20% output. I think that it would be value-added to add this as a feature so that you can know "I need at least X many pumpjacks with the following modules/beacons as inputs".
