If you would play ONI long enough you'd know difference between Heavy Conductive Wire and Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One carries 4kW or more. Which is exactly what you're requesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasza22 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 It would be cool to have more but it needs more advanced resources. How about wires out of metal and plastic (insulated wires) for 4kW. Then top tier superconductive wires out of thermium and super insulator for 10kW. All that after we find a way to make the construction menu less cluttered with wire and bridge types.

K_Lark Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I would be happy if the heavy transformer had 2 outputs so at least its capacity made sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be nice. Because the reason we have the 4k transformer is pure legacy. The original transformer gave 1 kJ every 4 seconds, resulting in a net 4 kW transformer. But I think that it should either be made 2 kW or be given two outputs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to have ability using as less wires as possible. 4kW instead of 2 resolve this problem perfectly. We need some kind of tier 3 upgrades for electric technologies.

avilmask Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If it's "otherasteoridy" tech (basically, outer belts of space materials), I wouldn't mind ultraconductive wires. Until then it's a bad idea. There is a reason, why w.wat and normal wat wire is a separate thing. For some time we didn't have even 2k wires :T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that after we find a way to make the construction menu less cluttered with wire and bridge types. Actually the whole system with various wire types is not very flexible. Would have been much better to have only two types: normal/single material wire and Heavy/Insulated one. And then vary kW based on materials (standard cable from raw metals 1kw, standard cable from refined metals give more, then steel... not realistic, but still better). Would solve both cluttering and flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I need 40kW, 20kW, 2kW and 1kW. Please? We already have 4 types of cables but why not make conductive ones 40kW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please leran the difference of the wires (for example in terms of decor-value). Until then, please stop from spreading BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is that the OP has the tools to carry 4kW on a line, and yet claims they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbowdesign Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 My mod has in the building extension a small wire with 20kw its however expensive for it needs 60 steel 20 plastic and 20 conductive material. That is not a heavy wire and can be build through tiles its called Super Wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AileTheAlien Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Heavy-watt normal vs conductive is a bug; Go file it in the correct forum. Back on topic, we've already got four different sizes of wire, between normal/conductive and normal/heavy. What does it add to the game to have such fine-grained control over different wire sizes? Metals are much more plentiful in this game than real life, so there's not much point trying to save a small amount of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
