Thread: Does PE (Potential Energy) Mean Anything??

Ok, I wanted to delve into the power-supply business, so that miners don't have to waste precious lots on power-generating devices (Wind, Solar, Fusion). I started off with a modest3 wind generators on a 62% spot. When I survey'd, looking for the best spots, I noticed that the different types of Wind have different PEs. My first thought was that this number factored into the equation to determine the energy requirements of a harvester (The higher the PE, the less units required to fuel the unit). However, my customers have said that it does not seem to matter what energy source is used - the units required stay the same regardless of which type of wind I give them.



So, My question is: Why is this even listed on the stats for the Energy units? Was this meant to be factored in, and is bug'd? Was it in there during beta, and ripped out for simplicity sake?


Starting this weekend, I'll be upgrading to Fusion Generators, so my output capacity will expand to roughly 15,000 units per day for each generator (estimate until I get them all crafted and on-line).



If you woud like to buy some power, send me an in-game /tell. If I can get 15k out of these like I'm expecting, I'll be selling energy at only half a credit per unit. That's what, less than HALF what you guys are paying in maintenance to get wind by yourself? AND you're wasting precious lot space? On top of that, you need restart energy ready when you have to relocate harvesters after a resource shift. I've seen it sell on the baazar for 3cr per unit, so this is 1/6th the going rate! I will be keeping a stockpile handy for those who want to purchase a jump-start, and will supply daily/weekly energy requirements for architects/artisans/miners who ask.

Ok , I have to bump this - someone has to have thought and/or tinkered to figure this out....

Used in foods, seems to have been overlooked in power.
