RT Solar Flare Shield

Description
Researchable (RT Mods research tab) magnetic shield to protect colony electronics from EMI and solar flares. The device heats up considerably while engaged, so plan accordingly!

Does not require a new colony to add or remove (might throw a one-time error).

Texture by LastXsile.

You probably need some battery, previously I noticed that even if you have enough excess power the it won't run it, but using batteries will work.

@jucardi: Gonna need more than "it's not working" to diagnose the issue.

Hi there, this isn't working for me, when a flare happens, it says it requires 25kW ad the grid excess is 38kW, so it should turn on but it doesn't

vreh I tried it on my gravship for the first time, extremely effective except that I needed to set up some Rimatomics level 2 nuclear reactor to be able to use it without making my ship a vegetable

@Hodor: Does it do that during an active solar flare?
Hodor 7 Sep @ 10:41am 
not sure why my version says power needed is 50 watts. any tips?

@Ratysz I'm a fucking idiot. Thank you.

@Casval Zem Daikun: Turn off "auto-scram on solar flare" on the reactor.

Is there any plan to make this work with Rimatomics? It works fine for everything else but a Solar Flare still causes the reactor to go offline. Not sure if that'd be on your end or the Rimatomics end.

Also, the text says , when dormant it uses puny energy but when the flare happens it switches to tremendous power consumption. I built one and it uses 50W ,I m waiting for a solar flare to see if the problem that others mentioned exist, but I doubt it
