The Plum Gate Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Currently the power run off is implemented on batteries but there's a few possible edge cases where the power run off could be used: the fridge for example could be used to lower its net power consumption - only powering on to cool food down when things are delivered to the fridge or when things are taken out Energy use example: 6,000 J/c power run off or a more friendly looking number like 30 j/s ( equivalent to 30 Watts ) and 90 Watts when adding something to it. this would use the same kind of trigger for power demand mechanism that the exosuit docks use. This would still make it a 120 Watt unit when being interacted with, but lower the energy use when simply setting idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Fridges are a bit weird. They cool the content regardless if they're powered or not but the automation only works if they are powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plum Gate Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Under those circumstances you could use a fridge to observe power status on that line - until it gets full I guess. Nice to have an auto port on it though but I imagine doing anything with it might otherwise be complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works to kill slimelung, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
