Unfinished: Geothermal water #20

Open SWeini opened 9 months ago

SWeini commented 9 months ago

Currently geothermal water is "made" in a huge building without any graphics.

Not only does it look unfinished, it also completely destroys any kind of balance, because it's such an easy way to make both steam and power. This cheap geothermal might even be better than the coal powerplants in normal Py, but they are definitely better than coal powerplants without cheap raw coal in PyBlock.

Suggestion: Move to ground boring or pumpjack + drilling fluid.

An ideal solution gives a noticable boost to power production when unlocking it, but is not overpowered like it is now.

This also hides a progression issue regarding creating 500 degree steam.

500 degree steam is needed to make Niobium biomass pulp, but there is no way to make 500 degree steam besides geothermal. Suggest to either implement the change suggested by SWeini or update the niobium recipe to 250 degree steam so you don't need to rely on geothermal.
