Cinereo Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have made a simple heavi-watt energy network distributing power throughout my base -- pic 1. I use wire bridges to bypass doors and acces transformers delivering power to smaller circuits. Even since demand started extending 1kW wire bridges are overloading despite whole circuit showing 20kW of potential load (pic 2). After some googling I found this bug but it's marked as fixed. Apparently my situation can happen if Heavi-Watts are mixed with regular wires but I can't seem to find any left. Attached is my save, after water pump in salt biome comes online power consumption reaches 1,2 kW and something takes damage. Is there something I don't understand? Is my plan of totally obscuring Heavi-Watts too unrealistic? Any help would be appreciated, thanks Utopia Cycle 66.sav Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/112784-wire-bridges-overloading-under-heavi-watt-voltages/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroturtle Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 A wire network only has as much capacity as it's weakest link. Bridges are limited to the same voltage as their respective wire types(1kW normal, 2kW conductive). You need to use heavy-watt joint plates to connect your heavy-watt wires through walls.

Yank31 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 In other words : wire bridges are meant for wires, conductive wire bridges are meant for conductive wires. Not for heavy watt wires. 1 hour ago, Cinereo said: Apparently my situation can happen if Heavi-Watts are mixed with regular wires but I can't seem to find any left. So basically : every time you're using a "wire bridge" with heavy watt wires (don't do that). Which is everywhere on your screenshots!

sktzofreak101 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The heavi-watt joint plates are the heavi equivalent of wire bridges. As has been said, each wire is only as good as its weakest component and since you're using wire bridges to jump walls/doors with heavi watt it gets downgraded to a very very ugly standard wire. The bug you referenced wasn't the same as what you're thinking. It was talking about when you use a wire bridge to jump over another wire (like a heavi watt) and it was considering the bridge part of the circuit it was jumping and thus lowering the non-connected circuit's capacity which to my knowledge has been fixed as it says.
