SamuraiJones Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hey guys. Is anyone else having trouble keeping their coal generators supplied? It used to be a total non-issue for me, but lately it seems like it's requiring alot of effort. Did they change the logic recently? Do dupes abandon resupply errands the automation input goes low now, or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunhaver Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm not sure if it was the problem I had a while back, but my dupes refused to supply generators. Someone informed me the problem was the automation priority in comparison to the other smart bats. What happens is the dupe gets the job to throw coal in the generator b/c the smart battery enables the signal, but another generator system refills the battery before the dupe can preform the errand, so he throws the coal on the ground. You may have to adjust their settings so dupes have more time to throw the coal in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axxionx12 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 A work around for this is to have a storage bin right next to the coal generator. Sooner than later you'll want to hook it up to the sweeper arm and automate the whole thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if coal plant errand logic had changed. But I've run with just coal alot longer on this asteroid and the last, so maybe it's always been this way and i just never noticed before. Aight, thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that with default settings it doesn't have to be "other generator system"... even if you have just one coal generator with one smart battery that generator will request coal because battery is low but at the same time recharge that battery to full and so battery will turn him off and delivery job is gone. You can set it so that generator will request coal only when he is empty and then this will be not happening. (so "battery low start recharge" percentage set higher then "request more coal" percentage, like 90% and 89%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostas Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 i have no problems with coal. usual i build 1 coal generator one storage bin (with only coal) and a smart battery, close together, sometimes a auto sweeper ontop too. i ranch hatches for coal i have several dupes with high priority to operate supply tidy. edit: smart battery logic is on fill battary 100% and start recharge at 15 or 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
