Unclear what the Generation Factor means on Reactors. #206

Version: (make sure you are on the latest version before reporting):

Issue description:

I have a hardened reactor running and it's creating 13k FE/t but it's generation factor is 840 FE/t. I have no idea how these correlate and I can't find any information about it either. It would be nice if Generation Factor could be explained in the in game manual or on a wiki somewhere.

Steps to reproduce:

Try to figure out how the Generation Factor influences the actual generation.

Is this a crash?, please includ it here: (Recommended to use Gist)

No

I can not work out how to get the generation factor out of a Nitro generator. The generation factor says 500KRF/t and yet even when its full of redstone blocks, coal blocks, uranite and dry ice with water pumped (unnecessary) its still producing 450KRF/t.

Its also not the maximum in all machines, the Thermal Generators for example can go 2.8x their generation factor with the right heating element.
