Neotuck Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 One problem I have had with my colony is wasted power and fuel when the batteries are full. This isn't a problem when using dup and coal generators as when the batteries are full the dups stop using and/or delivering coal. But other generators will continue to run wasting power and burning fuel (hydrogen, natural gas, petroleum) I suggest a battery sensor switch that when connected to a battery will send a signal when battery is below 50% and turn off when 100% This will help automate your power grid to save power and fuel Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/87058-automation-suggestion-battery-sensor-switch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Plum Gate Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Smart battery in your network will do that - otherwise it would be nice to have an aggregate sensor to detects power available or load.
