greedy EU rec room power arcade / phonobox 1200 / 960

EU rec room power arcade / phonobox 1200 / 960
So much energy.  Arcade 240 and phonobox 180 would be ok

(I know I'm the last person that can allow themselves to correct others about orthograph given how often I typo but it's a bit glaring here.It's 'too' with two os when talking about quantity. To With only one o it's the kind you put before a before a verb like 'to be or not to be')

Well the arcade does service up to two duplicants so I see why they wanted it to be more costly to run than say, a massage table. But I agree 1200 is way to much, it should be like 480 top. You shouldn't need a power wire and a big transformer for your rec room only.

Yes sry bro, me are from Kartoffelland and english is hard stuff.
Is "tosos much power" correct?

• Those things don't take energy when not used
• 2 dupes use them at once
• Effects last for 3 cycles

I agree 1200/960 is too much but 240 is too less. I believe 480 each would be balanced.

I knew it, I've been thinking to ask for a few days already

I run low energy bases and i am not interested to install special infrastructure for that stuff.
Dupes need nothing then food and sometimes sleep.
That whole stress system is a small joke (so far)

My suggestion is that both combined shouldn't exceed 2kw, so you can hook them up on either 1 conductive wire. Or maybe two regular wires.

Arcade 960, phono-b 720 or 780 for example. Adding to 1680/1740 leaving you some overhead for a deoxidizer if using conductive wire.

Because they only consume energy while beeing used...irl arcade automats need much less ~200w (I searched google) but they need energy all the time not only while someone is playing. Same goes for phonobox. Imagine, you would have to produce only 200w or so per arcade or phonobox but all the time. This would waste soo much energy

For your information, the phonobox is now a nifty Party Jukebot !

Yes sure but

lol, something wrong with the vote @Oozinator

I don't have much time today to play, but I want to see how people think about it. I read that they last for a while, but is this makes them cannot use until the buff wears off, or they can use it again after a certain threshold, or they can use it again and again anytime?

If they can always use it, then I agree with @Oozinator, they are too much power. Making automation scheduling every few cycles is not something I want to do. Ideally, if they only can use it again after buff about to disappear, like 10% last duration.

Sorry, I'm making comments about something that I didn't try it yet. I tried to refrain from doing so, but your vote interests me. All blame on you, Oozinator

 

[leoroy]

You can skip them too. If you have good food, nice decor, bathroom great all espresso machine you don't need jukebot or arcade to keep your dupes happy

Overall gameplay got an upgrade with EU.
I never before built wires out of sight.
I reconstructed 3 times my first mousewheel..
Not bad, not bad, but the power (topic) is tosos high.

I have a very limited power plant in my base (2 natural gas and 3 hydrogen, the hydrogen not running all the time) and I was able to add the jukebox and arcade machine without any major issues to power consumption.

The general feel I get from them is they are about less than 1/2 a aquatuner. In other words I really notice my battery levels drop when my aquatuner runs, but don’t notice it when the arcade and jukebox run.

I am fine with the power draws. Just my opinion. I realize I may be in the minority.

Hmkay. EU  influenced my gameplay in many aspects, have to take that into account.
