Balance regarding hydrogen tank
So was messing around with things and found that with 4x 1.5m hydrogen tanks you got the same amount of storage as a 5m hydrogen tank.
Which at first didn't feel weird but the material cost and related things are just way better for having 4 smaller tanks rather than a 5m tank?
1x 5m Tank - 12x Turbines, 6x Steel Tubes, 42x Steel Plates - For total material cost.
Provides 32,000 Hydrogen with a max draw of 4000, takes up 250 0.5m blocks in volume.
128 Hydrogen per 0.5m block
4x 1.5m Tanks - 8x Turbines, 4x Tube , 28x Steel Plates - For total material cost.
Provides 32,000 Hydrogen with a max draw of 8000, takes up 108 0.5m blocks in volume.
296.296 Hydrogen per 0.5m block
Which really feels wrong from a balance perspective, as the 5m tanks don't really provide much benefit compared to the smaller tanks. Not sure if this is a bug or feedback but putting it into feedback for the moment
I like this feedback
And the 5m tank seems to be 5kg heavier than 4x 1.5m tanks. There is literally no advantage other than aesthetics to build the 5m tank. The 1.5m is superior by literally every metric.
I think lowering the capacity of the 1.5m tanks from 8k to 4k and halving their max output would be better balance. It would keep them an even fraction of the 5m tank (you'd need 8x 1.5m for the same capacity as the 5m) and even then the 1.5m would still take up less space than the 5m. But at least they'd be heavier and the cost would be higher.
