Energy consumption/ coal consumption #37

Open WillyWinkel opened 6 years ago

WillyWinkel commented 6 years ago

For the furnaces I would like to see how much energy I need in form of coal or electricity, depending on the furnace. Just something like, you need 4 nuclear reactors to produce 500 yellow science packs/s. Including uranium at this point would be awesome. Amazing project btw!

Yes to this! Now that I'm considering upgrading all of my assembly machine 3s to use four productivity 3 modules, all energized by at least 3 beacons with speed 3s, I would like to have some ballpark figure of the minimum power that I'd be needing. Power estimates using solar panels/accumulators would also be nice.

That's a nice suggestion. Adding this information to all nodes of the tree would probably be too much information, but I could add a summary of required energy production.
