Duplicant interactions with generators disabled by automation (qol2)


Recommended Posts

I seem to remember the same issue back when smart battery was added, and now it is back in qol2 testing. Dupes do not work on generators disabled by automation. For example they do not deliver coal to coal generator and drop current delivery in case when generator is turned off. This also seems to affect engineer trying to tune-up generator, but not 100% sure here as it does not work reliably anyway (being able to set priorities for this would be really great).

This makes coal generators almost entirely unusable, because dupes will never have enough time to deliver coal unless all generators are already empty and power is out.

Not sure if it is a bug or intentional change, so not posting this in bug reports...

My NatGas generators get a microchip delivery & tune up while disabled.

And you should make a bugreport for the coal delivery. This should not happen IMO.

Good to know.

Could not reliably check it myself because of how i have set up priorities in my current save, lack of priorities for tune-up and seemingly no way to get electrical engineer instantly in sandbox.

this is normal behavior, whether it is correct or not is another matter, lol.   I use loaders or set the gens higher priority and the dupes get to it when they get to it.
