Stoned Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The 50 MW heavy watt wire update helped a lot, but with my recent base I am starting to hit that cap. Before I start the boring task of setting up a whole new network and optimizing the power used/produced etc., maybe someone has found a way to transport energy from the batteries of one heavy watt network to another?

KittenIsAGeek Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Its been talked about multiple times recently. Check out the 'transformer flipper' or 'switch mode battery' threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhailRaptor Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 You can't directly connect them. You'd have to use Smart Batteries, Transformers, and Power Shut-offs to create an in-between reservoir of power on a set of Batteries, and when they are full, disconnect it from the "feeder" circuit before connecting them to the "hungry" circuit.

psusi Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Don't use heavy watt wire at all, use the transformer flipper instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoned Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Thanks for the help. The transformer flipper smells too much like an exploit, I will go for a new Independent circuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psusi Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I suppose you could just use a transformer or four to connect the two circuits, and a smart battery to enable them when nearly full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
