Per user feedback:

It would be good to add a functionality that allows a more sophisticated output model for combined usage. Something that allows cascading of outputs would be really useful as this is a unique ability of geothermal. For example, the heat goes to electricity, then the waste heat goes to an industrial process, then the waste heat of goes to a greenhouse… etc.

It would also be good if it could be prioritized in some way so 100% of the heat coming from the subsurface gets used and is distributed based on demand. If there is a high electricity demand, then 100% of the heat goes to electricity… if not, some of the heat goes down the chain to one of the other uses.
