what did the devs say about the starving coold Jens blown fuse and the creased Lumen so the coal fuse thing is intended, for technical reasons, and I could ask for I could ask for like the whole lore Spiel behind that I will ask Guru about, about that again time being an issue I did get the, confirmation that that is intentional so that is not going to change back to how it was before where, so the problem is if you, if you have a coal gen a coal plant running for your power generation and you blow a fuse you can't actually automatically turn that fuse or you can't turn the fuse back on after having added more power to it you simply need to detach the entire grid and then partially like reconnect everything, until the math checks out again so, that is slightly annoying yes but there are reasons behind that I could ask for the Deep dive and if I have time this week I'll ask for that and bring it next week as well but I at least wanted to get the confirmation that that is intended out right now I am sorry, as for the decreased Lumen honestly not sure, I did bring that up as well and the general consensus was that we were not entirely sure what that actually entails it's like, some devs so the alumen did change from update 8 to update 1 1.0, but most opinions internally for the programmers was that that was actually an improvement and just something that you know was just some an automatic win so if the like if the consensus within the community like just in terms of you know talking about Lumen or highlights is that it was better in up dat or you know stronger or just I don't know like more, I don't know cool or whatever, we might look into that it might be performance reasons it might be the reason why we are prefering Lumen the way it is now but we can't really see how Lumen 1.0 is a detriment compared to Lumen update 8 yeah jumping back to Lumen I see comments still in chat as well about Lumen, if you use Discord, feel free I'm going to open this for Lumen if you use Discord feel free to DM me directly on Discord titling the thing like lumen in capstock first and then writing your, Spiel, because if you do I'll just write and hope that it is indeed Lumen feedback, write Lumen write exactly what your opinion like in how it change is in what opin like what your opinion is about, why Lumin is worse now compared to update 8 and how it changed according to you, maybe also provide your save that could be nice and I will I will rebr that to, the standup tomorrow cuz if people actually are in agreement like universally or at least widely that it is a clear downgrade or or might even appear like buggy or broken then I absolutely will not stop chasing this here I will go back to the programmers and see if there actually is something we're missing so, I mean if you could convince it, so yeah do DM me and also if you don't use, Discord then rdit works as well, and don't really check this accounts twitch DMS but I mean you you know where I am you'll find me if you really want talk about I'm sure they'll find you yeah unfortunately yep
