Talk:Burner inserter
Energy Change
I saw Bilka changed the kJ value. I'm not sure exactly why that changed, it cites a version number but the changelog for that version was very sparse and didn't mention this. Anyway I suspect Bilka, you will read this eventually since you're an admin. If that number is accurate the old number is still present on the main Inserters page. I didn't want to change it myself since I'm really not sure where the change came from

- I think many of the values are wrong in the fuel consumption section. It mentions that the burner inserter starts with 500kJ, which is 25% of the fuel value of wood, and then also states that a burner inserter can "spin ~29 times from a single wood", which would mean that the burner inserter starts with enough energy to complete 7 swings, whereas in reality it's more like two swings. Simply dividing the power by the 360 degree swing time results in 184.6 kJ per swing, which does give that almost three swings on the starting energy. I'm also baffled by the part stating that the burner inserter "does not continuously consume the maximum amount of power when working".
