update: turns out there are other values -- a lot of other values --
but the weird thing is, if the "TOTAL CONSUMPTION" values are all coming from the big smokestack (I don't have any others), so I don't understand the numbers, because there are a lot of other exhaust outputters connected to it now, so the value should be much higher than 54 in the current month in this save just before I start the scrubbing planning and stuff -- (which btw it went terribly so I'm going to try again tomorrow, lol) upgrade kiln 1.2.zip cheers!
Issue description
while trying to scrub the exhaust on my island I noticed this "Total Consumption" item in the statistics that doesn't make any sense. it shows up in increments of 0,50,100 (
no other values). I finally tracked it down to the year that the statistic began, and it's when I was exporting a coal boiler's exhaust output to a large smokestack.here's a picture of me adding the stack (the first value, 50), then I remove the stack and just use a normal stack for a few months, then add it back....![2024-06-23 04_49_00-Captain of Industry](https://github.com/MaFi-Games/Captain-of-Industry-issues/assets/46397/a62ec8af-ec50-435b-a761-c57282a3f0a6)
after that I see that it goes back to 50, but since it's not running all the time, I decide to vent the steam so that it's for sure running full speed.![2024-06-23 04_53_58-Captain of Industry](https://github.com/MaFi-Games/Captain-of-Industry-issues/assets/46397/ea635292-57dd-4347-9483-37febd8a7faf)
now, even though I'm 100% sure that I'm outputting 60 exhaust (it's a coal boiler running full speed), it still says 50![2024-06-23 04_58_59-Captain of Industry](https://github.com/MaFi-Games/Captain-of-Industry-issues/assets/46397/c405ab4b-011f-45c6-80a5-bc7112eb63bc)
now here's the weird thing: a truck comes over and dumps some animal feed into the boiler, and it spikes to 100 for a moment.![2024-06-23 05_04_30-Captain of Industry](https://github.com/MaFi-Games/Captain-of-Industry-issues/assets/46397/7342e457-6ff9-4120-a806-4cd81e09e2ad)
let it run for a few months at full speed coal only (no animal feed), and even still I get some spikes of 100 from time to time:![2024-06-23 05_09_42-Captain of Industry](https://github.com/MaFi-Games/Captain-of-Industry-issues/assets/46397/74d04206-e013-40db-bfdf-abb89153f350)
what I think is might be happening is that it's registering exhaust output in increments of 50, and since 60 is between 50 and 100, it says 50 usually,-- but then once every ~5 months or so it says 100. (not sure about this theory though -- doesn't seem so)
nevertheless, exhaust dumped in a large stack is definitely not consumed at all and should be under "DUMPED / DISPOSED" instead.
