Is it true that experimentation will be allowed in the near future?

We can speculate all we want but it's strictly that - speculation. The Architect corresponent has asked the Devs point-blank "is the current lack of experimentation on fusions by design or a bug". The answer has been a resounding silence.

If they change it, I'll happily make higher-rated fusions, since we seem to have the whole "high-rating" process figured out. However, until it changes, I'm making BER14s and people are buying them - the need for power is never-ending.

I don't know that experimentation is needed on fusion gens.

Wind maxes at 9, but you're lucky to find a spot with higher than 50%. Heck, I find a 40% wind spot and I'm happy. And you'll never see wind with PE higher than 500.

Radioactive can be found 80% or higher without too much trouble, and the PE can bump the actual power output considerably. With double the concentration and half again as much PE, a fusion generator is already pulling 3 times as much raw power as a wind gen. That's similar to the scale from personal harvester to heavy.

If anything Solar needs a bump. Maxing at 8 (I think that's the max) is pretty pathetic considering it's not found in high concentrations, and thePE isn't usually very high from what I've seen.
