iirc, the multiplicative variant is faster and more accurate, but it runs into an issue with high stator load values. The turbine will begin outputting the stator load in scientific notation, such as 1.24e+6, since it is in joules, not kilojoules. Mechcomp components don’t account for this however, and will simply truncate everything starting with the e, so 1.24e+6 becomes 1.24, rather than 1,240,000. As far as I know, this was never fixed, so instead of relying on the mechcomp output of the turbine, the additive variant uses the counter, which will stay in sync as long as the counter is the only thing that adjusts the stator load. If you’re just doing a basic setup though, multiplicative is fine. I explain all this here: https://wiki.ss13.co/User:AnomalousPotat...Automation
