Oxyhydrogen update! 2:1 ratio.

- Hydrogen energy density reduced to 3.7344MJ/L (down from 5.6MJ/L)
- Engineer's default suit Hydrogen capacity increased to 3L (up from 2L).
- Hydrogen Bottle:
* Capacity increased to 12L (up from 8L).
* Inventory size reduced to 15L (down from 60L).
- Ice Hydrogen yield increased to 2.546L per 1kg of Ice (up from 1.64L/kg).
- Large Grid Oxygen Generator Hydrogen production increased to 1018.4mL/s (up from 656mL/s).
- Small Grid Oxygen Generator Hydrogen production increased to 25.46mL/s (up from 16.4mL/s).
- Large Grid Hydrogen Tank Capacity increased to 270kL (up from 38,570L).
- Small Grid Hydrogen Tank Capacity increased to 10kL (up from 1,430L).

Why?

I've never been fully comfortable with restricting the size of the Hydrogen Tanks. It's a stop-gap solution to prevent stupidly long run and fill times, but always worked off the theory of "suddenly oxygen" since it's required for the reaction but not required to be produced or consumed. Further to this, I've since discovered that I goofed up with my reading of the optimal fuel ratio, getting it exactly backwards.

The new simulation is still technically inaccurate as it relies on the perfect and complete combustion of a 2:1 ratio (H:O) - something that won't happen in reality. However it is closer to reality without resulting in wasted resources that could be better used elsewhere (in other words, I don't like the idea of discarding oxygen since that's like gaseous gold in space). Ideally I'd like to simulate 4:1, or at least 6:1, but unless the generators can provide both gasses at once this would result in 1/2 to 2/3 the generated oxygen being wasted to produce usable oxyhydrogen.

Once again made the jetpack functional with double gravity.

Bugfix build - corrected Control Station being turned into Cockpit.

Update: 4 Mar, 2018 @ 7:34pm

Reverted previous change due to game bug.

Update: 1 Mar, 2018 @ 8:56am

Restored pre-1.186 jetpack power output.

Update: 2 Feb, 2018 @ 11:28pm

1.186 maintenance update.

Update: 9 Apr, 2017 @ 10:34pm

Experimental build:

Large Grid Oxygen Generator output reduced to 4% of previous. That's 7.627 MW of energy to process 400g/s of Ice, yielding 2.772U of Oxygen and 656ml of Hydrogen.

Reworked the numbers to support a hopefully bipropellant future.

Update: 15 Jan, 2017 @ 10:49pm

Reduced the size and quality of the thumbnail. Mod is still 90% thumbnail by size, but better than 98%!

Update: 15 Jan, 2017 @ 5:46pm

Shameless plug for my other mods. Not functionality/balancing updates.
