Two player claims, both now answered from the decomp + measurement rather than
inference.
THE EQUATION (FUN_004b8d18, constants read from the image: _DAT_004b8ee4=0.5,
_DAT_004b8ee8=0.0 (the fabs), _DAT_004b8eec=1.0):
heat += ratio^2 * (1+damageLevel) *
[ (1-accEff)*|vy|*m*g*dt climb POWER
+ (1-velEff)*(0.5*m*|v|^2) kinetic ENERGY -- NO dt
+ (1-accEff)*|v|*|a|*m*dt ] accel POWER
Our implementation already reproduces this verbatim, dt-less term included.
CLAIM 1 -- "each mech has a unique heating profile". TRUE, and working, but NOT
by the mechanism the player described. Measured across thr1/own1/mad1/vul1:
* the myomer record is IDENTICAL on every chassis
(velEff 0.995, accEff 0.8, gears 3000/5000/7000/9999, rec 2,
degradeT 1000, failT 2000, thermalMass 250000)
* the heat-family COUNT is identical too -- 6 Condensers, 1 HeatSinkBank,
1 Reservoir, 4 Generators on all four
* every cooling parameter is byte-identical Thor vs Owens (condenser
conductance 315000 / mass 420000, bank 231000 / 1.39e6, reservoir
190000 / 3.42e6)
So there is NO authored per-chassis cooling variation. The profile emerges from
the equation instead: heat ~ m*v^2, and light mechs are faster. Measured at
seek 4, flat out:
thr1 mass 70000 |v| 11.34 kinetic/tick 49026
own1 mass 35000 |v| 17.22 kinetic/tick 57350
The Owens is HALF the mass and generates 17% MORE drive heat, because v^2 beats
m. That reproduces the player's OUTCOME (a Thor sustains seek 4, a light
chicken-walker cannot) via speed, not heatsink count.
CLAIM 2 -- "it runs too hot". The kinetic term carries NO dt: it adds an ENERGY
every TICK, so its contribution per SECOND scales with the tick rate. Measured
dt here is ~0.017 (~59Hz) and variable. The other two terms are power terms and
are rate-independent. On flat ground the climb term is additionally dead --
gravity reads 0 (the carried "environment gravity unwired" open), so hills do not
heat at all right now.
NOT yet established: the 1995 tick rate the dt-less term was calibrated against.
Until that is pinned the OVERHEAT FACTOR is unquantified -- flagged, not guessed.
Adds three diagnostics, all under BT_MYO_LOG:
[myoheat] now splits climb/kinetic/accel + dt + the kinetic share
[myoparm] one line per myomer: efficiencies, gears, thermal thresholds
[hsparm] one line per heat subsystem: conductance + thermal mass
and three benches (myoheat/myoparm/myocmp) that produced the tables above.
