18650 balance

About a month ago, I pointed out a balance issue in several recipes: battery-powered vehicles, coal liquefaction, and a couple of other suggestions for new content. I precisely calculated the values to fit the vanilla balance... What do I see now? 'Large truck consumption reduced by 25%.' But the problem isn't a 25% difference—it's a 7 to 8-fold difference. And the coal rebalance hasn't even been touched.

Do you actually read anything other than trivial suggestions like the iron crusher or biomass balance? And yes, those are useless: iron is needed for walls, and biomass doesn't matter since you can just as easily get fertilizer from ammonia. I just don't get it. A guy gives you a fully calculated balance, explains exactly why it should be this way, and... nothing?

Hello antonio220

i seen them all and i have on my list some of the tings i agree on to balance. Sorry just had a lot on my list and i am just one guy. it's just been a low priority for now. Also about the trucks, you are not the only one with balance suggestions. Some felt they ran out to fast and i am sorry but i can't please everyone.

When i come to it i will respond on your original posts.

Now I understand. I would like to add that I genuinely just wanted to understand why such critical nodes, which directly affect the playability of entire sections of the mod's content, have been sitting here for a month without any response. The current imbalance in some of these recipes is frustrating to me, so I decided to follow up and find out what the issue is. Thank you for the answer.

I understand but i have to take things in priority and i was going to reply before but forgot, so i am sorry for that. But most things are in my list.

And also when it comes to balance i have to make a good middle ground if i decide to change something, since it might annoy you but if i change something it might annoy others. And this has happened before since i can't please everyone.

But i will try to go over most things you have suggested this week when i get time and update some of the things.
Thanks for all the suggestions. 😊👍

Just please, don't break it completely! ))) I based my calculations on the core energy balance designed by the game developers. I used hydrogen as the base energy metric, with boilers and turbines defining its utilization efficiency. Interestingly enough, that's exactly how it works under the hood for them. These connections can be traced through many vanilla recipes.
