The point I made in this other thread today is that it's supposed to be as hard as it is, and there is no intention to make it easier. At all!
That said, there is already technically a unique engine that stores a massive amount of energy, if you can get it, but it's not easy or in every seed, and also as pointed out by someone who actually did the Drained challenge, obtaining it makes gaining the rest of the needed energy that much more difficult, despite giving you a head start in a way, so that's good it should remain as difficult as it was before.
Note there are also already very useful utilities for lowering energy costs, and they explicitly are not compatible with LC. Remember where LC came from and what it's really for 
Yeah the first and third one were mostly as a joke but I
do think that, depending on how many there are, that some achievements that are hard are good, however this migh tbe too much but i do think that, once Cogmind is complete, it should then be considered.
Also I think that some achievements named after members of the community would be nice, (make some new ones not change them) I have some ideas in the works with, to name a few, Luigi, Dosh, aoemica, being the ones I know that they are known and what they are known for. Tho it would be nice to know what other members, eg. Plexion, MTF, are known for (any that are not named are welcome)
