1 year ago While I don't like those other things being stackable, those aren't really a problem. You are intended to have lots of rad collectors to one shard, for example, and stacking shards provides no benefit vs just having them nearby but separated by something to stop movement (really it just increases risk). In this case you actually are supposed to have more eels = more power. Stacking plates means you need to maintain less aquariums, exploiting to avoid more maintenance.
It's an immersion issue too. Having two shards generate more power makes sense. But conduction plates are conducting the electricity created by the eels out of the water. Adding more plates doesn't increase the amount of electricity generated by the eels. If anything, the power should be split evenly across all plates generating no additional power.
But more than that with anything, it's how pitifully easy it is. At least with the other engineering stacking you need to get a teleporter such as the hand tele to do it, so there is some investment. Conduction plates are not dense so anyone can stack them easily with no effort.

Obviously this defeats the entire purpose of having more than one eel tank, so shouldn't be possible
