It would be nice to be able to upgrade the efficiency of some of our industrial items specifically, in this case, the oven.
Upgrades could include:
- Oven Racks - Each Oven Rack installed would increase the number of slots available by 4 (max of 20). Note: Rack Quality has a direct effect on end produce.
Flue - One only - reduces cook time of items in the oven. (Suggested: Each Q step reduces cooktime by 30 seconds, so 30 seconds at Q10, 60 at Q40, 90 at Q90, 120 at Q160, etc. to a minimum time of 580 seconds or 9.67 minutes (2 sticks of fuel)
Damper - One only - increases the burn time of fuel used in the oven in increments of 29 seconds, to a maximum increase of 290 seconds (doubling fuel efficiency).
Therefore a fully equipped and maxed out oven would be able to cook 16 items in 9.67 minutes using a single piece branch.
I am not at all satisfied with the details of the idea, but do like the overall concept... Discuss.
There was some idea that the number of available upgrade slots on an oven should have something to do with its quality. While I like that idea in concept, I can't figure out a good way to make it useful/functional in practice.
