as emily said, we are only in the initial stages of transitioning the teg. there are many things to be worked out, tested, and experimented with, as any new system needs. relearning engine behavior is definitely going to take work.
however, like you explained, having little to no information regarding how exactly these new changes are meant to work is extremely jarring. people who have been working with the engine (and have continued to) are struggling just to keep the station powered. honestly, i don’t like the idea of having A) such an unstable environment officially in the code, or B) if it is stable, not having much to go off of in terms of keeping it stable.
the behavior of the engine seems to be incomprehensible these past couple days. a set up that worked three days before would produce no power, a set up from months back would run perfectly. i’ve mentioned it already, but i’ve seen the hotloop not register any heat or pressure within it at all.
i agree with you in that they shouldn’t be reverted. i would hope, though, that any future patches that could cause such instability would be held off from merging until more personal testing is done. that, as well as more communication from azrun/the devs that had tested it before implementation.
really, i hate to see people giving up engineering entirely over this. having more understanding would benefit everyone involved, in my opinion
