You shouldn't be dumping more fuel after the initial one prior to ignition, you'll fuck yourself over if you keep doing so. Limit to the initial dump then stop or you'll choke the hot loop and stop your power output completely, you're missing something during the initial set up because issues like that shouldn't happen.
They sure do.
Checked this and it's fine, no solars were wired at the time this was taken:
This is also fine and works correctly
What does this even mean? How is this supposed to work? Too much wattage in the grid may "overload" the breakers so they stop the electricity flow?
Doubt this was the case, the SMES were getting actively charged.
As in, the station was consuming too much power and thus Brig wasn't receiving any? This might be true, given that when I wired the aforementioned solars both the "broken" APC and the entire Security became powered again; though if that's the case then why was the multitool telling me that there were 650 kW available in the network? Or does "available" mean "maximum available amount of power throughout the network", not "available amount of unused power in the network" in this case?
>that lightbulb attached to the door
Fair tbh
Yes. Too much power going into the grid will cause it to overload so much that the breakers can't get stable input, if you look at the RCON monitoring console in the engine bay SMES room you'll actually see the breakers fluctuate between bugger all draw and 0w
Correct. 'In power network' when you look at cables before a breaker (so in this case red) means total output from the engine SMES. 'In power network' when you look at cables after a breaker (in this case the green ones) means the power available in that particular grid after the breaker has pulled what it requires for that section of the station that the breaker looks after. So that screenshot I showed with 159682W was actually what was in the security power network at the time as that was what the grid demanded, which is what the breaker pulls from the available total output by the engine bay SMES, the full total station output at that time was 600000W because the total output of the four SMES in the engine bay collectively lead to that total (all set to 150000W)
This is really useful to know. Might be worth adding to the notes in an engine setup guide.
The clown and I wanted to see what would happen if we put the nuke next to the blast door. You know, for science.
Captain McChuckleFucks and Doc. White decide to film jackass in space
Putting a NUCLEAR DEVICE in the space station engine (GONE WRONG) (NANOTRASEN CALLED)
This doesn't make sense to me tbh I dont think it should be happening
I'm kinda 50/50 on it tbh, on one hand it does kind of make some sort of logical sense because it's similar to what happens during a power surge, too much power = shit overloads and breaks, but on the other hand I wouldn't be surprised if there's some jank in the code that's leading it to go a bit wonky. That is a big part of why the idle power changes stuffed the grid up so badly though, it can't deal with too much supply when there isn't that much demand so it completely craps itself
Based.
It sort of makes sense.
Which is also why you don't, for example, wire solar SMES directly into the main grid because that's what happens, among other things
Career suicide, he should join it and get in the noose tbh
Sorry, I fixed it. Also, as a bonus, I just realized that's the same user they fired another member of staff over for making sexual comments to while underage. Literally this kid is so unlucky him getting Wizard staff talking about sex to him not only got documented in an official PDF from a year ago, but it's still fucking happening now with even higher ranked people. (PDF is one of the docs they made for Nyano dehub). Remember though, we can't make the steam page age restricted.
Tbh SS13 and 14 are both niche enough that spreading the subjects out across two threads almost isn't worth it and might mess with traffic to both threads a bit. Maybe a decent overview on the absolute state of SS14 could be worth doing to place in the SS13 general thread though, there's enough shit going on that at least some sort of write up is definitely worth doing
actually its a nigger rigged 'wattage' system where different parts of the grid have a certain number of watts available, which made the circuit breaker coding hell because you have to figure out the load on the other side of the breaker in order to then make at least that amount available, because the devices all ask the grid how much power it has available and then draw accordingly, except if you let every circuit breaker just say they have the far side's wattage available that can lead to power from thin air because everything will try to pull wattage based on how much power it thinks it has available at the same time. also they will die if there is a three way loop of circuit breakers, the loop detection is fairly crude because i want to just rewrite later. God made power have voltage and current for a reason, if it was just wattage it doesn't actually make logical sense or work particularly well if you try to have circuits of any complexity whatsoever. whoever originally coded it doesn't understand electricity (or God or nature in general)
My stance is every ss13 thread but this one should be locked to drive more traffic to my server instead
