I have figured out a way to make reactors use 0 fuel. Would anyone be interested in such a cheat mod? If so let me know.

Location: Hmm... I'm confused. Anybody have a starmap to the Core?

The way you did it was interesting. -1 to the fuelEfficiency giving off free fuel was unexpected. We should play with all of the attributes on the playership tags to see what happens when a negative number happens :D
You could make a huge string of mods just by having negative numbers on items ;)

Been there, done that. The ship will continue to gain fuel beyond its maximum limit. If it is not stopped, eventually, fuel will rollover to a negative value, which is treated as running out of fuel; and running out of fuel may instakill the ship. In the meantime, refueling services will offer negative fuel to consume your excess fuel, and the service costs negative credits.
Download and Play in 1.9 beta 1...
Drake Technologies (Alpha): More hardware for combat in parts 1 and 2!
Star Castle Arcade: Play a classic arcade game adventure, with or without more features (like powerups)!
Playership Drones: Buy or restore exotic ships to command!

Other playable mods from 1.8 and 1.7, waiting to be updated...
Godmode v3 (WIP): Dev/cheat tool compatible with D&O parts 1 or 2.

I didn't think about how programming languages treat numbers sometimes...There are other ways to achieve the same end.

You can use the pteravore code to subtract excess fuel generated by the negative efficiency method.
