SackMaggie Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 So i separate circuit like this my main circuit has no load but it still give power to all and not get any damage Is this a bug ?

GreatGameDota Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 There used to be a bug like this where heavy watt was useless but I think they fixed it.

NanoD Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Yeah I dont use heavy watt wire. Well I have use it to see how to use them if it was necessary.

RemyG Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 If the power draw on a normal wire exceeds 1kw it should overload and transformers are supposed to cumulatively total the draw from all circuits onto the parent circuit which is where heavi-watt wires are supposed to be required as their limit is 20kw. If that is not happening then you need to report this as a bug.

Sharlank Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Should be a bug then, especially considering it says 5,5kW / 0,0kW. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/80769-i-think-heavi-watt-wire-are-useless/#findComment-940900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpio King Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Transformers and all generators does not put any strain on circuit, its been like this since heavy watt wire was out. I dunno if Klei see it as a bug, its been a while.

BlueLance Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 At the moment I think since the game is under development it is neither a bug nor unintended, Insulated pipes etc are the same since a pipe made out of abyssalite does the exact same job. Over time I think it will be tweaked so that using said pipes and Heavi-Watt wires will be needed for such larger power-houses. At least thats what I hope XD Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/80769-i-think-heavi-watt-wire-are-useless/#findComment-941568 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zervo Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 that's a bug. you are not suppose to be able to do that. it should require heavy wire Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/80769-i-think-heavi-watt-wire-are-useless/#findComment-941786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifegrow Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 This is common knowledge and has been the case since it was released. This is an early access game remember folks, so a lot of these systems will be set to change over time. I made a vid a month two back to help people that were struggling with the new system : To surmise, yes this is the current state of the wiring - however personally, I still always build my main line out of heavy watt. Even though I know it isn't needed, it's a good practice to incorporate for when the changes to power drain (hopefully) happen, that way your bases won't be left crippled whilst you remedy the problem May also be worth noting that you can use heavy watt wire to make absolutely monstrous circuits, if for example you're trying to pump out a massively concentrated room of polluted oxygen.... Connect them all with heavy watt and you can power 80+ pumps before "overload" Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/80769-i-think-heavi-watt-wire-are-useless/#findComment-941967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
