Random machine speed mod not running within correct limits
Using the random machine speed mod (by Aquila) which is really fun compared to my usual playthrough, but it does not seem to be changing the machines to the correct speeds (20%-200%). Instead it appears to be frequently dropping as low as 10% on multiple machines and almost never seems to come close to the listed 200% maximum. Is there a way to fix this error myself or would I need to get the creator to take a look at this issue?

Additionally, I'm not sure if intended or not, but power generators will use more fuel, but not produce additional power.

After reading through the patch notes I see that the lower end rate was brought down to 10%. However that still doesn't seem to explain my abysmal luck with over half of my machines sitting at under 30% at all times.
At this point I would just be excited to have the ability to change the values a little.
Hey Krelll!! Hmmm, im reviewing here. I got alot of machines slower too... 🙁

but one was faster
the ratio for generators really only consumes more or less, if i not mistake...
But in UE is really multplying for a random number from 0.1 to 2

Unreal engine seems to be agains us! we can change that
maybe put some weights on it, or improve the math a little
Anything would be helpful. Whether that be some way to adjust numbers in a menu or just even making the math more consistent so im not burning through 180/m worth of coal nodes just trying to keep up with 5 generators. Its unreal how little power i get from 4 miners.
I'm adjusting it to be a little more fair. 0,1 to 0,5 is really hard .
If you still using the mod, let me know if it got better now.. I will make a way to be very rare to be less than 0,6.
Uploading the new version now (1.0.8) ... Thanks for this feedback Krell
@Andre Aquila <Aquila Industrial> honestly its not the amounts that was rough as much as the frequency than lowered amounts were hitting more than the increased amounts. Can't even stockpile raw ore to make up for the lower numbers. Its just empties and then never catches back up. 4 coal nodes not being able to keep up with 5 coal gens is just wild when I started with a full storage container.
Right!! The frequency was the problem. Drying every resource too much.
I made some tests with this version, seems to be more balanced. To be more rare to get more than 1.5x or less than 0.5x .
@Andre Aquila <Aquila Industrial> not completely sure what's causing it, or the extent of what is affected... but when swapping miner speed with power shards it appears to break all the miners which then stop changing their speed.
I'm not sure how much is affected by the bug, since I only just noticed it.
Restarting the save file fixes the issue.
