oritech atomic forge and lasers - weird power issues and status/info of said power

Describe your issue.

This is going to be a strange issue to describe

It's mostly for moto or someone to forward on

But it's something that both moto and I have seen using oritech

Atomic forge
has no upgrade slots
All upgrades are handled by lasers

scenario 1:
setup 1 laser, at or about 4000% speed
it works but it's easy to discern that some easier recipes fill the AF's power bar up all the way and they complete fast
Other recipes, take much longer and you barely see the power affected
Because there's no indication of change, you don't really have any way of seeing how fast it's going based on the upgrades you put on the lasers unless you timed their crafting.
No numbers to report, etc.

scenario 2:
setup 2-3 lasers at or about 1005%
same problem as first but second laser, even tho it's connected and close enough to work, it never gets a beam from the laser to the AF

Without seeing numbers, it's impossible to tell if all the power is being satisfied by 1 laser since you never see numbers
but obviously, if you have one laser going, it won't accept a second (or at least show it's beam)

I broke all my lasers then setup a different one first and the first one to link becomes the only one able to send power

In addition, it seems anytime you setup a laser to connect to the AF, when you first place it, it shows zero power for a very long time. and then at some point, magically just starts working
it does not show a gradual amt of power going into laser
at one point it'll be 20%
won't change
then you close the ui and open, no change
wait 30 seconds or more and open ui and now it's at 80% and no increase of numbers

restarting server does not fix this and it's entirely random for when it happens

---

what would be nice is to see an actual power level increase that's measurable
at this point, it sure seems that the power bar in the AF is not an absolute power level but instead a percentage maybe since it changes drastically between a hard and an easy recipe rf wise

maybe some info in the AF as to how many lasers are currently pointing at it. bonus points for total rf from each laser or something.

There's probably more but this is the gist of it.
