Rapid Diminishing Returns When Copy/Pasting Large Energy Groupings. Bug?

[APassingStranger]

I have made multiple energy grouping in single 25x25x25 area. This energy area produces 956124e/s;

When I copy and paste this area the pasted areas produce significantly less. So that with 5 25x25x25 areas that are exactly the same the net energy production is only 1515841e/s:

So is this an intentional feature, or simply a bug that accounts for the missing 3264779e/s?

Dimensional bonus power is capped at 1 million, so likely only the first instance of the configuration received full bonus at the numbers you posted with the bonus being exhausted early in the second (assuming some decent efficiencies). From that point on power would be added at a flat 25e/block.

there is a soft cap at 1 million energy. Meaning that it will output less after it hit 1 million regen.

Thank you for the reply.
