| 5454 | 😟 | Suggestion | Please have it so that *integrated* capacitors are the first to charge and the last to discharge. When setting up bots to mine outside of the available power field, the expectation is that you can have them run off from their integrated capacitors while mining and then recharge when they return to drop off their goods. This works fine so long as the base is producing more power than is being used. But the moment the base starts using more power and draining capacitors (such as at night when solar turns off), even if there is plenty of power stored in regular capacitors and batteries and there is plenty of bandwidth for power draw available from them, when these miners return to base, they not only cannot recharge, but the base actually starts to **drain** their integrated capacitors. This makes it so these off-base miners fail during night and require manual restarting once day breaks and power generation raises again.
This also further complicates behaviors checking power levels remaining in a unit that is operating as part of a group off-base as it will begin draining its integrated capacitor immediately while there is still plenty of charge in regular capacitors mounted on dedicated power supply/storage units. | | 2025-07-06 01:14:20 |
