During December 2024, Alex H. focused on backend development for the space-syndicate/space-station-14 repository, addressing a critical bug in the AME power generation logic. Using C# and leveraging game development principles, Alex conducted a root-cause analysis to identify conditions leading to negative power output. He implemented a robust guard within the AME formula to ensure non-negative output, refining the relationship between fuel, cores, and generated power for improved balance. Alex also updated related unit tests and enhanced code documentation, clarifying power balance rules. This work improved code maintainability and reduced the risk of gameplay instability stemming from edge-case scenarios.
