Hey, I found a post from 2008ish about reactor efficicency in which Azar_Wolf suggests a forumla for fuel consumption based on efficiency. Is this right, has anyone done any testing on this since, and would George like to comment? :D

The calculations must be more complex because the power consumption percent comes into the equation somehow. A reactor will consume more fuel if it's idle draw is higher.

I haven't personally done any testing though, this is all speculation.

Well, if I were writing it I'd just have it be fuellevel=fuellevel-(reactorload/efficency). But then, I'm not George.
