Incorrect ATP generation prioritization with Hydrogenase

Not sure if this is the right place, but it seems unintended. When using the Hydrogenase, Clostridial Fermentation seems to be intended as an improvement to the standard glycolysis exchange, but in play the inefficient glycolysis is prioritized over the fermentation. If ATP usage is below max production, the glycolysis reaction is maxed out while underutilizing the hydrogenase proteins.

By standard glycosis, do you mean the in metabolosomes or the cytoplasm? The hydrogenase is supposed to be more efficient than the cytoplasm but less efficient than the metabolosomes iirl
I might be misunderstanding the question though

At that point I hadn’t unlocked the metabolosomes yet. I was trying to use the hydrogenase, but noticed that they were hardly being used while the cytoplasm glycolysis was at max production

This is not really a “bug” because cells just do all of their processes as fast as they can in the order the processes are defined (so based on the order the organelles are placed). So if the cells were to prefer more efficient processes that would be a new feature.

I’m pretty sure that someone has brought up the same point before, but I can’t find where that was (or if an issue was opened).
