SamLogan Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hello, Since Klei not decided to add an automation port on the Coal Generator, I made a set up to use the trigger of the Smart Battery with the Coal Generator.

Guest Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 It is nice for out of the box thinking, but... there is the power shutoff device; will this not shut down the coal generator?

No. It will shutdown the power output but the gen will still run since it is not being sent power.

Zarquan Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If you have the space in the room below, you can make the door vertical. You can still build on it and it still turns off the generator when opened, AND your dupes can still get around it.

The Flying Fox Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I've seen the door trick with the coal generator before and it's pretty handy. Also works with wheezeworts too. In fact, decided for one of my experiments with the oil well to try this with the ore transfer arm. Just load up the room with some coal and let the arm and the battery take care of the rest! Turns out oil well is only somewhat abuse-able heat-wise. The natural gas it produces is roughly around 150C higher then the water input and it's internal storage is effected by the temperature of the machine and the space around it so, with a little help with some magma, you can get the natural gas kinda hot, but it's unfortunately not heat positive pass the temperature the natural gas it produces. Also, the oil reservoir is apparently made out of sedimentary rock for some reason and thus can easily melt past 900C. If it melts and you save your game, exit and reload, the game crashes.

I've been doing this with pneumatic doors while I wait on airflow and mesh tiles.

Using it looong time That topic comes out, once a month as "new trick" ^^ On the picture is a smart battery sensor too. I am wondering why the CG not gets an automation slot.
