Heat balance adjustments

[cooltaipei]

We were chatting about this in discord and there seems to be a consensus that the balance on heat is off.

Suggestions for heat:
Buff RTG - I believe these were buffed in non-hardmode. Please apply that buff to hardmode RTGs as well. I believe it was buffed by 14x.

Increase coal power plant scaling - currently they are 10/20/30/40MW. Suggest changing to 10/30/80/160MW.

Someone mentioned possibly adding higher mk biomass burners.

Yup. Coal powerplant seems a bit weak.

Another idea is to add another nuclear reactor, the same as the breeder reactor but with a max temp of 5k instead of 1k, and 100% efficiency instead of 1% efficiency. This would make nuclear fuel cells very usable for heat. Maybe also increase consumption/output by 2x so fewer buildings are needed late game.

I tried to use the breeder reactors for heat, however even when they have more than enough fuel and heat to power the incubators, the heat transfer/loss between reactors and heat pipes is so bad, then even when I have the buildings fairly close and using reactors to transfer the heat instead of heat pipes, the heat cannot make it to the buildings well enough to let them run at full speed.

Again I think increasing the max temp for breeder reactors would fix this issue, and/or buffing the heat transfer/heat loss between entities.

You can see how the reactors that are further away from the buildings burn fuel so slowly because they cannot transfer heat fast enough. There is over 5x as much heat capacity in the reactors as is needed to power these buildings, but you can see how the top left retrovirus incubator cannot run at full speed even with that short distance, and the zogna ones even drop quite low.

is it possible to create some higher tier(s) of heat pipes to combat this issue?

[cooltaipei]

I think setting their max temp to 5k or higher would also fix it.
