PWR generation: Power Drip vs. Fusion

[Doctor H. Derp]

Fusion always seemed to me to generate significantly more PWR, but then it occurred to me that the constant 5 PWR cost to reactive it hadn't completely factored into the equation in my mind. Like I knew that in the time Power Drip had given me 4 PWR that Fusion would give me 12 minus the 5 it took to activate, but then you must activate it again, so why not put them in a race I thought? See how much actual PWR is generated? Here's the chart, the numbers in the brackets under Fusion is what the PWR is before the 5 PWR activation cost to reapply it's effect:

 

                           Power Drip             Fusion

 

Base(10) T0:             10                      [10] 5        --      PD gets a head start due to F's activation cost.

T1:                             11                          8

T2:                             12                         11

T3:                             13                         14

Interesting to see how Power Drip actually keeps up with Fusion quite nicely at the beginning, eh?
