Advanced Wattage Sensor
Master Your Duplicants’ Power Grid with the Advanced Wattage Sensor
Managing the intricate power networks of your Oxygen Not Included colonies can be a daunting task. Keeping track of consumption, preventing overloads, and strategically distributing power are crucial for survival and expansion. Fortunately, a powerful new tool is available to help you achieve electrical mastery: the Advanced Wattage Sensor.
Precision Power Monitoring
This mod introduces a sophisticated dial gauge that provides at-a-glance information about your power load. Unlike basic sensors, the Advanced Wattage Sensor offers a visually intuitive way to understand your energy usage. Its configurable nature allows you to set a maximum power threshold, transforming the gauge into a percentage indicator of your current electrical load relative to that limit.
Color-Coded Efficiency
The beauty of this mod lies in its clear, color-coded feedback system:
- Gray: Indicates zero load, meaning no power is currently being drawn.
- Green: Shows a load below 33%, representing efficient and low energy consumption.
- Yellow: Signals a load between 33% and 66%, suggesting moderate usage.
- Orange: Alerts you to a load between 66% and 97%, nearing capacity.
- Red: Clearly displays an overload condition, warning you that your power limit has been exceeded.
Furthermore, a welcome side effect of this advanced sensor is its stable display. It avoids the distracting flickering often seen when automation wires are not connected, providing a clean and consistent read-out.
Strategic Power Distribution
The Advanced Wattage Sensor is an invaluable asset for planning your power infrastructure. It assists in making informed decisions about where to connect new power consumers, especially when your electrical grid has become complex or disorganized. By understanding the precise load on different segments of your network, you can more effectively utilize transformers and ensure a stable and reliable power supply for all your Duplicant’s needs.
