As encouraged after I mentioned it on the discord.
The changes to atmos with re-pressurization (and de!) are quite nice.
However, there are a few unintentional impacts on engineering, which might need thinking about?
- Burn chamber pressures need to be increased to maintain heating across all the pipes-> Faster turn over in cans (minor)
- oxy agent beta collection is a /lot/ harder now (and it was already a pain) - with the doubled reaction speed, MUCH more CO2 / burning happens during the production so you end up with a scrubber full of mostly CO2 and a bit of plas / agent, instead of mostly Plas, 10-20% agent, trace CO2.
(Which means hell / chamber burns with agent - already a pain - are even harder now)
I've not tested a pipe-burn since the change yet, but if anyone has, would be keen to know how it impacts those!
(Or if someone's struck on a new method for the agent harvesting that works better now...)
