- Cleanup of SMES attackby() code
- Buildable SMESs now have option to override safety circuit by using multitool while the hatch is open.
- Disabling safeties lets you disassemble SMES even if it's charged above 1%.
- If charge is above 5% stored energy may discharge violently. This is percentage based (more energy = higher chance of this occuring + more severe consequences)
- Larger discharges affect whole powernet, burning out some lights and even completely destroying APCs!
- Substation PSUs act as surge protection. Thus, if set up properly damage is limited to few areas which are directly on the main grid (= maintenance mostly)
- STILL NEEDS TESTING. Pushing so other people can review the code and give further suggestions. And because i need to access it on second computer.
- Removes source of runtime errors. From my examination of code, it seems these errors happen when breaker box is turned off for the first time. It should work then.
- Mostly temporary fix, i intend to rework the powernet code over time. I would welcome cooperation with @mwerezak as he is currently doing lots of related things.
- Buildable SMES is now subtype of regular SMES.
- Buildable SMES related stuff moved to separate file (smes_construction.dm)
Please note that this commit is one of two commits which have to be applied together. Otherwise, compilation error occurs. (Code + Map. This one is Code)
- Mapped in engineering substations
- Completely reworked station wiring (Z level 1)
- Wire colours: Yellow - Local Power (engine, solars), Red - Main Grid, Green - Sub Grid (department grid)
- Adds breaker box variant that starts enabled
- Substation PSUs are now not set to charge themselves by default (as this caused quite large loads)
- Fractal energy reactor is infinite power source
- It is NOT mapped in. It is intended for map testing purposes when large amount of power is needed
- It is NOT buildable. Only way to obtain it is by spawning it.
- Outputted power can be varedited to your liking. Defaults to 2MW (should be enough for ... well, everything?)
- Added suggestions by mwerezak and comma
- Directions list is now in variable
- Type changed to /obj/machinery/power/breakerbox
- Instead of using loop visible_message() is used now.
- Adds Superconducting Magnetic Coils - SMES specific construction item.
- Each SMES can have up to 5 additional coils added , similar to PSUs with cells.
- It is possible to create multi coil SMESs by changing "cur_coils" variable while mapping them in.
- SMES can be deconstructed, salvaging their board and coil(s)
- It is currently not possible to obtain these by any other way than deconstructing existing SMESs. This will be added in another commit.
- Basically, reworked powerswitch. Powerswitch was commented out and this commit removes it completely, as Breaker Box is partially using it's code.
- Breaker box is device designed for advanced grid control. Allows you to connect/disconnect wires WITHOUT having to cut them manually.
- This update mostly improves interaction, and adds AI support (as i already saw many AIs which are actually good in balancing things. This will help them a bit. Engineers can do it manually too.)
A more thorough fix should probably involve providing a way for players
to control the flow rate.
Also tweaks emitters and allows collectors to be read using a multitool.
Creates two proper monitor circuits for Engineering/Mining.
Adds air alarms in the Research access foyer.
Relocates camera in Misc. research to a more central location.
Ensures there are enough Telecommunication Satellite SMES units to meet power demand.
This was due to the master controller using update_powered_status()
instead of power_change(), but many machines override power_change() to
do various things when the machine gains or loses power.
