Description

Ame makes less power more cores for same injection rates

Steps to Reproduce

Make Ame, Setup 2 core design 4 injection get 160000 watts of power. Make the setup to a 7 core design and 4 injection only gives 47000 watts of power.

What you Expected

Just more cores.

What Actually Happened

The injection rate makes less power the more cores you add.

not a bug, someone slap this man for being a dummy more engines with same amount of fuel = less fuel per engine = less power

dunsel-hordon commented 1 year ago

lies and dumbness it should still make the same amount of power regardless as the amount of power it makes should be based on how much fuel you are injecting

I like running the cargo AMEs whenever I make em at 2 cores 1 injection so the power can only fuel cargo and nothing else. Then raise to 4 injection and reconnect the main wire if station needs emergency power. On that note, the AME allegedly explodes antimatter with regular matter to make power, reducing the injection rate should give you the same amount of power, since you reacted the same amount of matter, regardless of how many cores you have. Having more cores would let you react more per cycle, not reduce efficiency cause why the fuck would you inject 1 u into 30 cores when doing so into just one would work just as fine (and better). A man can dream of a reworked AME. I'm just thankful that the old AME was fixed into what we have now.

I like that power output is based both on the number of cores and the injection rate. The AME is completely braindead to set up and run, there might as well be some aspect of optimization for scaling it up (even if that optimization is just "only make it as big as you need")
