fuel and shards

Feedback on Shard & Fuel System Changes

Hey! I wanted to share some feedback regarding the recent shard and fuel changes.

Right now, it takes 3,000 shards to get 10,000 fuel, and 10,000 fuel only gives 27 shards. This makes the AutoShred upgrade on harvesters feel pretty useless, since it costs more shards than it can ever return.

It would make a lot more sense if a full chunk farm produced more shards than the amount of fuel it consumes that way, players can actually make use of their farms efficiently instead of losing progress.

Also, before upgrading shard speed again, it would be good to make claim blocks more expensive, so players can’t just claim huge parts of the map too easily.

Another issue is that fuel drains way too fast it currently takes only about an hour for a full tank (10k fuel) to drop to zero when running something like a cocoa bean chunk.

There’s also a bug where using 1 item or 1 stack consumes the same amount of fuel, which makes the system inconsistent.

Finally, many players are frustrated because their farms are now fully grown and inactive since there wasn’t any announcement about these changes, some help or compensation to fix their farms would be really appreciated.

Thanks for reading and considering these changes!
