Energy Sources: Difference between revisions

'''Fuel chamber gen.''' marks how efficient your mech's Fuel Chamber is at converting the fuel. This only changes how fast energy is recharged, not how much total energy is produced. Note that [[Coal Ore|Coal]] with 0% is the only fuel that matches your [[Energy Circuit (Upgrade)|Energy Circuit]] upgrade level. Both positive and negative percentages are relative to this. For instance, both a [[Hydrogen Fuel Rod]] and the 5 [[Hydrogen]] it requires to produce contain a total of 40MJ, but the fuel rod has a Fuel chamber gen. of +200% instead of the +100% of regular hydrogen, meaning you will use the fuel rod 50% faster (300% total charge rate compared to 200%) than the regular hydrogen and therefore recharge energy 50% faster. The time a fuel item lasts and your recovery speed both depend on your [[Energy Circuit (Upgrade)|Energy Circuit]] upgrade level. As this stat only affects your mech, processing hydrogen into fuel rods for use in the [[Thermal Power Station]] is a waste of resources.

Burn Time is calculated with the following formula:  

<pre>(Energy * Efficiency) / Rate == burn time (in seconds)</pre>
