      So essentially just to smooth over those transitions when adding more to your factory.

      So another reason you'll want power storage and why this is significant is because there's actually going to be a change to the geothermal generators.

      Okay.

      So previously, you know, they're kind of boring that you put them down and then they just give you power.

      There's not really anything to them.

      So we're actually making changes to geothermal in update four.

      And what's going to happen is they're now going to be producing a dynamic power.

      Previously, it was just 200 megawatts.

      Now it's going to be something like a range between 100 and 300 megawatts, averaging out to be 200 megawatts.

      But it's not going to be a steady kind of power source anymore.

      And now power storage is something that you can take advantage of in order to smooth out the power generation of

      the geothermal generators if you wish.

      You don't have to do that if you don't want to, but you can use it to sort of bring back some stability when it comes to using geothermal generators.

      So that's up to you to use that if you wish to use it.

      We're pretty interested to see what people will do with that.

      And yeah, let me know what you think.

      so the third reason you might want to use power storage is because in update 4 we're also removing the like self-regulation of power generators uh previously or as they are now in the version that you guys are playing power generators would only produce as much power as the factory would consume and no more than that however we're making it now so that they always produce their maximum output of power with the exception of the biomass burner they're going to produce the the maximum amount of power that they can
