Powah
The Starter tier of every machine has been removed.
Most recipes are now direct crafts, rather than tiered crafts, greatly reducing the cost of various generators. This goes hand in hand with an overall reduction in output of the more passive generators, such as solar.
An upgrade path still exists, allowing the player to take an old generator and insert new components into it, bringing it up to a higher tier. Any tier can be changed to any other tier.
Heat Sources have seen an overall reduction in efficiency while a new coolant has been introduced that's better than water.
In terms of RF generation, the low end has been boosted while the high end has been nerfed as shown below.

Due to the simplicity of running Solar, these are being brought a little lower. Like Thermo, the low end has been raised to make the entry level more useful, while the top tier has been reduced.
| Rate (FE/t) | |
|---|---|
| Basic | 220 |
| Hardened | 320 |
| Blazing | 420 |
| Niotic | 520 |
| Spirited | 620 |
| Nitro | 720 |
No changes. These can be considered burst power sources as a single piece of fuel is always worth the same amount of energy. Higher tiers simply burn it faster with no efficiency gains or losses.
These have been given a 50% boost in overall production value. The inclusion of better coolants also allows them to run much more efficiently, stretching fuel even further.
For comparison the reactors below had dry ice, coal, redstone, and were provided 8 pieces of uraninite.
Water Cooled Nitro Reactor = generates 72 million RF @ ~84k rf/t per uraninite
Water Cooled Nitro Reactor = generates 106 million RF @ ~125k rf/t per uraninite I-C Cooled Nitro Reactor = generates 143 million RF @ ~125k rf/t per uraninite Ether Cooled Nitro Reactor = generates 350 million RF @ ~125k rf/t per uraninite
These numbers are not exact as Powah Reactors fluctuate over time and are effected by how full the tank is. Expect slightly better efficiency.
