Thankyou Keen for re-balancing Hydrogen Engines!
Submitted
Not a suggestion, just a thankyou note.
The re-balanced fuel consumption of Hydrogen Engines is perfect! Much improved from the beta test versions!
The new consumption rate was something I specifically suggested in my feedback to the 2nd beta test and I love that it's been taken on-board & implemented.
Thankyou Keen! The Hydrogen Engines are now truly viable.
I like this feedback
I still think consumption is a problem These are primarially designed for the starter ships and early game power generation but the block is still consuming more than the entire output of a H2/O2 generator and burning through more ice than a fresh start can be expected to mine prior to building a not inexpensive starter ship. At WORST the engine should consume no more than 1/4 the output of a oxygen generator and that's under full load

Hmmm... going to have to suspend my original statement for the time being.
Hydrogen Engines seemed to work perfectly the first time I used them... 1Litre per second, 4.5 hours run time... all good.
Now not so much.
In every test I do I'm getting wildly different consumption rates. I'm asking my workshop subbers to help gather information & report bugs where they find them and so far every person responding is saying the same thing... Inconsistent consumption rate from one test to the next, strange bugs & conflicts involving other power sources, inability to refuel the engine...
Wow! So much needs fixing here!
I stand by my "Thankyou" because I think I can see how the engine is *supposed* to work... but for now I have to place that "thankyou" on standby, since in reality the engine doesn't actually work like it's supposed to!

Yup hydrogen engines need fixing. The power output i guess is fine! But the consumption rate, especially on the small grid hydrogen engines is terrible! Furthermore, anybody noticed that on a wheeled small grid with cargo containers that has a hydrogen engine and an o2/h2 generator, when you fill up the cargo containers with whatever material, the weight of the entire small grid car rises, and the power consumption grows significantly, like over 500kw [what hydrogen engine can output]. I've reported this bug during the playtest yet it was not taken into consideration! Like, can we get feedback from devs that they know what we're talking about!
