Hey Barkchip, I’ve been drafting a quick efficiency matrix for your plant‑mech hybrids—want to run a test and spot the bottlenecks?
Barkchip
Sure, hit me with the matrix, but keep the roots in mind—can't have a bio‑mech that overdraws the soil, or the whole system will wilt.

Root‑to‑leaf efficiency matrix (unit: resource consumption per time):
| Component | Input (bio‑fuel) | Output (bio‑power) | Soil draw | Notes |
|----------------------|------------------|--------------------|-----------|----------------------------|
| Soil‑root interface | 1.0 | 0.9 | 0.1 | Maintain >80% conversion |
| Root‑metabolism | 0.9 | 0.85 | 0.05 | Keep nutrient buffer >5% |
| Root‑photosynth | 0.85 | 0.8 | 0.04 | Avoid >30% soil draw |
| Root‑bio‑reactor | 0.8 | 0.75 | 0.03 | Efficiency target 0.75+ |
| Root‑output hub | 0.75 | 0.7 | 0.02 | Total soil draw ≈0.2 |
- Total soil draw ≈0.2 units, well under the 0.25 limit to prevent wilting.
- Keep the buffer at +5% of total input to absorb any spikes.
- Check the root‑photosynth module daily; a drop below 0.85 triggers a red flag.

Looks solid overall, but that 0.2 soil draw is right on the edge of the wilting threshold. Keep the +5% buffer tight; any sudden spike will push you over. Also watch Root‑photosynth daily – if it dips below 0.85 you’re already losing power before the system notices. Maybe add a small feedback loop from the output hub back to the interface to smooth out fluctuations. Otherwise, go ahead and run the test, but keep the roots breathing.

Got it, will tighten the buffer and wire a quick feedback from hub to interface. Running the test, but monitoring photosynth daily and watching for any spike in soil draw. Keep the roots breathing.
