As someone who has spent far too long farting in scrubbers both before and after all the many, many, many nerfs to pipe-burns, I would be pretty okay with farts no - longer being the end-all burn fuel they are now.
Just... Either need Molitz Beta to be a lot less painful to get, or other tweaks/ changes to make other approaches to high output burns viable.
- Could large beta cans just be crafted directly from the crystals, same as other gasses are now, without the long process of stimulating -just- so to get the gas?
- A way to use other processes to synthesize a plasma additive that does what farts do now?
- A change to pipe-leaking so that Molitz Beta burns don't have the double 'so much busywork' whammy of both the collection process AND the endless welding to keep it going?
- Weld-bots to do the tedious work for you if you butter up robotics / cargo?
I guess all outside the scope of what is proposed, but ... Yeah.
A lot of CE mains hung up their magboots and put rocko away with the TEG / pipe changes & rebalances, and -something- needs to be added to make it interesting and fun again. It says something that one of the least enjoyable parts of engineering is the engine. Just cutting one of the last things they have out without a replacement is going to make what should be a very fun and vital part of the station even less interesting.
As a stopgap though reducing frequency and outputting volume would be fair in my view.
Or maybe tie increased volume to eating beans or something, and make engineering start with a few cans? I dunno.
