Energy Storage and Accumulator discharge at different rates, thereby giving different A signals #421

Description

Hi, first off, loving Krastorio 2!

My issue is that energy storage and accumulator discharge at different rates, thereby giving different A signals. I noticed this after I switched using primarily energy storage, but my fusion plant fuel reloader circuit was still using an accumulator. In vanilla, all accumulators on the same grid will discharge at the same rate, so if one is 80% full then all the other ones are too. Not so with energy storage vs accumulators. This makes it so that the A signal from an accumulator and the A signal from an energy storage will show different levels of charge.

Shouldn't they be the same?

They have different capacities, so will take different amounts of time to discharge. This is just how the electric network in the game functions - it pulls from all accumulators at the same rate regardless of their capacity.
