Cipupec2 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Pumps and shutoff valves use energy only when they are active i.e. pumping packets, and use none if they are put on standby due to automation or by some other input. What about 1. Mechanical doors, do they use energy only when Dups are passing or constantly? 2. Exosuit docks - only when they are filling air, constantly ? 3. Checkpoint - only when dups passing, whenever active, or? 4. Autosweepers - only when they pick up something or constant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakuraKoi Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 1) Mechanized Doors use Power while open 2) Only while filling Oxygen 3) Only when not allowing to go through 4) Only when working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoD Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 4 hours ago, SakuraKoi said: 1) Mechanized Doors use Power while open Not true It takes 48J to open a door or close it. With that you can calculate that the door takes 0.4 secs to open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sure, tested this just for this thread since I actually do not use 'em 1 hour ago, greenpheonix632 said: is this true for bunker door? Tested that some time ago, they only use energy while opening IIRC, not quite sure about closing but while fully open they do not use energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doors only use power while opening or closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welp, kinda missed that little change from the Cosmic Upgrade. Now I am conflicted: Should I ask Klei to stop updating or should I be glad? I know the answer should be obvious but...

Nothing has changed in that regard from CU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I sure do recall it being in Ranch Mark II before avoiding it (keeping 'em doors open) and indeed: Quote Pressure Door only consumes electricity when opening/closing Of course there is a difference between 3 months and a year but... 3 months sure did pass quickly, don't the? Though those 3 months were awfully hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though those 3 months were awfully hot. Nope. The difference in Cosmic Upgrade is only that there is now a difference in operating speed between whether they were powered or not. They consumed power when opening and closing even before then which is why most people didn't connect them. EDIT: There was a brief period in a preview but I think that was in the closed beta test where doors consumed power constantly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakuraKoi Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Prior to the Cosmic Upgrade, the Airlock did take up 120W if it was open and connected to a grid. In return, if it was not connected, it remained open for free. That was fixed hence why it says "only" and making them powered actually made sense was implemented additionally (just the line above). At least I did not miss the shower fix, I just hope you won't argue about them giving a stress reduction prior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
