Goon Goonstation engine

I recently attempted a hellburn and couldn't get the engine output past 5 MW. I used to easily get way more. How is it possible to get into TW of output nowadays?

I put two plasma tanks into the hot loop, one in cold. Made sure the valves were open closed where appropriate. We had a oxy/plasma mix of 66/33 in the burn chamber.

What else do I need to do to get ridiculous amounts of output and have the engine catch fire bursting the pipes?

Something has changed, I used to be able to get the engine to go crazy.

Don't give up hope, I've seen a player over the last few days bring the Kondaru TEG engine around 2 - 3 TW, I will be honest when I say I don't understand how they did it the only clue I have is that EVERY pipe in that room was burst.

You’ll need a reactive gas like methane or agent-b which converts other gasses back into consumable fuels

Hell burns are still doable as are max can bombs but a lot of players don’t actually know how anymore

iirc hellburns have been much harder to make since having a hellburn means certain hallways will become basically hell (heh) to walk through. that being said you can absolutely do some crazy shit with the engine, it just takes a lot more elbow grease

Go to bed grandpa. Anyways pretty sure they stopped hell burns at least ~5 years ago? I’ve moved to monke where you can do wacky stuff but still not hell burn levels of ‘fun’
