Re: Any idea for how many balls the boilers can hold?

Does it means that in any point of time these are the max fuels the boiler can hold?
I believe by using the word capacity, they mean the best-case usable volume inside the two goal sections of the boiler without the counters moving.

Essentially dump, cram and shake in as many balls as you can into the unpowered boiler then count the balls. To me it seems unlikely that this process would yield such an even number of balls, so I expect this is a theoretical calculation instead of a physical measurement. My guess is that they rounded down slightly since they put these explicit values in the manual.
