Power Rebalance

[KiwiHawk]

Issues

• Fuel Oil power is too good
• Deuterium build is too small
• Thorium is currently useless
  • Deuterium is better in pretty much every way (small self contained process)
• Need more large late game power drains

Suggestions:

• Make Thorium make train fuel
• Make Thorium required to run Deuterium
• Add Angel's Industries for Angel's nuclear
• Massively increase rocket silo power consumption
• Remove Thorium
• Make thermal refining require nuclear heat
• Move deuterium to space science
• Convert the direct sort of uranium into mixed sorting, producing uranium, thorium and plutonium

Constraints

• Make sure fusion bots can still be made practically
• RTG needs to be available at Blue Science. Required for Bob's Character Classes

Need more large late game power drains

suggestions for this:

• increase power consumption of higher tier buildings and increase their crafting speed. This way more advanced buildings will be faster but also consume more power.
• increase power consumption of speed modules and buff their speed bonus.

also:

• decrease pollution of higher tier power sources. This would incentivize their usage in games with biters.

There are no biters in Sea Block. Pollution does nothing except turn water green.

@KiwiHawk right, forgot that :)

IMO Fuel Oil Power isn't too good. Charcoal & Charcoal Pellets -> Solidfuel -> FuelOil -> Nuclear These steps seem to be pretty balanced. Nerving FuelOil would make the Nuclear step even stronger (already pretty strong)
