Logical Large Block Thrust

Have you ever tried using large hydrogen thrusters on a ship, only to realize it would take up far less space and somehow be more powerful, to replace your larges each with 9 smalls, even though they're only 1/27th of the volume?

Has it ever annoyed you that there is no real reason to ever use large hydrogen thrusters in the vanilla game?

If so, this mod is for you. This mod buffs large thruster thrust so that it is based on how much more volume it occupies than the small variant. For example, the 3 x 3 x 3 large-grid large hydrogen thrusters now have 27x the thrust as the 1 x 1 x 1 large-grid small hydrogen thrusters, instead of about 7x as they did before. I also scaled the resource cost and fuel consumption of the thruster accordingly, so that it is still balanced in survival. As a result, integrity and mass are also scaled.

I did the same thing with small-grid large hydrogen thrusters, and also small-grid large atmospheric thrusters. Oddly enough, Keen's thrust values for large-grid atmos and both small and large-grid ions were already logical, and based off of the volume of the thruster as well. For this reason I left all of the vanilla values alone for those thrusters.

If anyone has any feedback on how I could change any of the values in this mod to make it more realistic and logical, or any feature requests, please let me know! Also let me know if there are any problems with the mod, although I doubt there would be any bugs due to the simplicity of the mod.

Note: This mod does not add new thrusters, it simply changes the values of the thrusters for any world that currently has this mod on.

No confirmed bugs
