Evaporation tank output buffer #617

Open matthewstgrmn opened 6 months ago

matthewstgrmn commented 6 months ago

Describe the feature you'd like

Scale output buffer capacity of evaporation tank with size (Input currently does this but output does not). With evaporation tanks, especially in a solar based heat setup where production rate fluctuates with time of day, a max sized evaporation tank will have only 10 buckets worth of output, but can hold 4608 buckets worth of input.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Attempted to use inline fluid tanks as buffer, but those ended up restricting the flow too much by breaking the continuous line of mechanical pipe. setting up a dynamic tank to input & output along the same line becomes impractical with the location restrictions of solar based evaporation towers.

Additional context

As far as I can tell, this may be the only multiblock structure in Mekanism that does not actually do a size based scaling of the output capacity?
