Nanite Control Factory - Automated Construction (Not working - Old Version)
a 6 Apr, 2016 @ 12:18am
Only looks at reactors and batteries set to discharge for missing power
This might be a bug with the game itself since I've noticed assemblers having similar issues, but when you have an all-battery and solar/wind/etc setup, I have to explicitly set my batteries to discharge before the nanite factory will start up. If there's plenty battery power available but the batteries are set to their default automatic mode rather than explicitly discharge, the nanite factory will glow yellow and complain about missing power.

I don't have that much control over power. I just set the factory to "require this much power" in a situation. I can't actually look at the power system and determine HOW to get the power, just to request it. If it tells me there's not enough, there's not much I can do. If you're experiencing this with other blocks, it's most likely a bug in the game itself, and not something I can fix directly, sorry.

@tyrsis that's a shame, kind of what I expected though. It's a bug that's been in there for weeks and they don't seem to notice it?
Haven't checked the forums myself but, even in vanilla you can trigger it; simply make an assember and a refinery, put a bunch of different blocks in the queue, refine the ores required... 6/10 times the assembler will just hang, and if you look in the control panel it'll say "missingpower".

Hope KSWH fixes it soon, it's a big fleck on a lot of things.

Congrats on the well-rounded mod by the way! You really seem to have put some effort into this, think one of the few mods that actually uses custom particles/shaders? Definitely a block that I miss in vanilla survival. once you get past the starting point and have access to all blocks, the game becomes a little boring because there's nothing new to save up for, and this makes keeping your base alive so much easier! definitely upvoted and fav'd and added to my collection :)
