Proper Hydrogen Rebalance

Description
NOTE

This mod is no longer maintained and has not been updated for several years. It most likely does not work correctly with current versions of Space Engineers and I do not have any plans to reinstall Space Engineers and work any further on it.

END NOTE

This mod rebalances the energy density of hydrogen fuel from ~0.0015 to ~0.0184, allowing small ships to actually use small hydrogen thrusters with only a H2/O2 generator - while still being semi-reasonably balanced in a survival world.

This also has the side effect of decreasing the nigh ridiculous amount of ice and tanks needed to use an only-hydrogen setup on a small ship for more than five minutes.

Ver 1.2:

Rebalanced hydrogen thrusters to have less of a gap in power-to-thrust ratios - small block thrusters should be more performant now, consuming less hydrogen per unit of thrust. This will further lower ice/hydrogen consumption.

Ver. 1.1:

Rebalanced the IceToGasRatio of the large Oxygen Generator (3) to that of the small Oxygen Generator (2). This should have the effect of large oxygen generators being 1.5x more efficent per liter of ice.

Also moved the mod over into the stable branch.

Actually the fuel consumption is the same with, and without the mod. Unless some other mod is messing with the fuel consumption values, the engines are now taking about 25 times the amount of fuel the wiki states is normal

For some reason after adding this mod, a single large ship hydrogen engine now consumes 6 thousand liters of fuel per second while only at 22% loading

You have a drawing of the ship from the screenshot. Or the link will do.

form what i can tell losing about 4% a sec

i woudl like bot hhydgen and oxegen t obe a bit more Realistic cuse unles truninghydgen ingen or truster both are to ezy this make the hydgen much more usful im hoping the more realistic O2 mod wil make ox more inporten i think the two may not get along tho guna hav et oraly test them

Does this also change the jetpack? You use fuel way too fast (and move a tad too fast as well), but the more realistic O2 mod nerfs it so much it's basically got infinite fuel.

For anyone curious you can get the hydrogen engines to work with any mod that changes their efficiency or how they work.
