Balance Discussion
I am pretty happy with the place these tanks are, if you have any balance issues with these feel free to comment on this thread and discuss.

This thread is currently about the 1x1 generators and balance.

Explanation for anyone who doesn't understand how they work.

Each generator takes a single unit of ice, and converts it to 'gas'.
the standard generator 1x2 block converts to 3 hydrogen and 3 oxygen.
The 1x1 generators are exactly halved for the OxyHydro generator, converting 1 unit of ice to 1.5 Hydrogen and 1.5 Oxygen.

There are 2 additional generators that produce only hydrogen and only oxygen. The idea behind these generators are that a single block generator could produce at least 3 hydrogen or 3 oxygen easily.
So for balance reasons I set it to 3.

The second balance was to set the generators to 2, but this is when the comments came... how they are unbalanced because they are 1x1 blocks.

Please discuss below.

The 1x1 gens are way too heavy. You have both large and small grid at over 2.5t. Large grid stock is 2.5t, but small grid stock is just under .3t. 2.5t makes it too heavy for small atmo craft where yuo want the small size.
