Yunru Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 For those times when they've nothing better to do, these wheels are set to priority 1 and plugged into only the lights: The only issue is without a battery they never stop until they get a break or need the bathroom, hence the innovative "Stop Running" (tm) automation; a Not gate plugged into a 30 second Buffer gate: As a result, any idle dupes decide to go get swol training their operation and athletics in 30 second increments.

Gurgel Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I do the same until all dupes are trained up. Works well. You can simplify it a bit with a timer sensor set to 0.1sec red and 30sec green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pether Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Sounds like some crazy mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yunru Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Just some Pips (and maybe one mod to make them less annoying to get to plant wild). There's a gold volcano up top out of sight, and a minor volcano down below. On screen is a cold slush vent that almost by itself enables the self sufficiency.

KittenIsAGeek Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I've built dupe exercise rooms where its hooked up to the grid in such a way that if the dupes decide to run on the wheels, the power all gets used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on playing around with transformers to try and get mine to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually place the gym wheels at prio 1 and the real feeders at prio 9, with 80% as lower threshold to start charging again. That way, they only go to the gym when the batteries are full anyways and there is no point in using the power from the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babba Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I like the gym stuff I wish we could put up big signs in to our colonies, where we can type our text in to... Like "Sports Arena Magic Sweater Gym" or "Uranium Death Mine". Is there still no way to type text on to graphics ? Maybe they want to avoid screenshots like "Stalin`s soundanso".
