Multiple Batteries can be used to reduce or prevent Power Fluctuations in the Power Grid, which cause Reactor Overheating (overvoltage) and Item failure (undervoltage). If doing this, note that you need to make sure the Item's Power Requirement (Load) is not greater than the maximum Output of the Battery (the Battery’s default maximum Output is 1000). It is possible to wire (connect) an Item directly to a Battery. The easiest way to manage the battery is to use a toggle on the on/off of two relays, allowing to disable charging well the battery is needed to prevent backflow waste into charging the battery. They also have an adjustable 'Recharge Rate'. Batteries should be wired (connected) from a Junction Box and to a Junction Box. Unlike Junction Boxes, Batteries have a separate 'Power In' and 'Power Out', so power only flows in 1 direction. Batteries serve as a Power Supplement and can be used for many applications, the most common being Backup Power and Fluctuation Regulation. You can also connect Batteries to the power grid. You can also connect the first and last junction box to make sure that the power stays on for the further down junction boxes when one breaks part way down the line. If you are 'Daisy Chaining' (connecting the Junction Boxes in a loop), you will gain 3 slots per Junction Box instead of 4, with the last in the chain being 4 slots. Engine, Oxygen Generator, Pumps) to that Junction Box, or additional Junction Boxes, to increase the capacity of the Power Grid you are making.īy wiring (connecting) a Junction Box to a new Junction Box, you gain 4 more wire (connection) slots per Junction Box added. Note: Power flows in BOTH directions through a Junction Box. Each node has a max capacity of 5 (wire) connections. They have 1 power node and 4 signal nodes that wires can connect to. ⦁ Junction Boxes are the main power conduit in the Sub's Power Grid. If the Reactor overheats for too long, it will 'Meltdown' (explode). ⦁ If the Reactor is producing more power (Output) than the power grid needs (Load), it will Overheat. If you try to operate an Item, you will see a prompt: "Insufficient Power". ⦁ If the Reactor is producing less power (Output) than the power grid needs (Load), Items connected to the grid will not function, due to Undervoltage. It generates heat from Fuel Rods, then converts that heat to power.

⦁ The Reactor is the power generator of the game.
This typically leads to Overvoltage, where the Junction Boxes are rapidly damaged and/or burst into flames. Power (Output) from the Reactor flows in parallel, meaning each wire (output) from the Reactor will have the same amount of power (Output) flowing through it.įor example, if the Reactor's output is 3000 and there are 2 wires connected to the Output, the power grid will receive 6000 output (3000+3000). Why?: Reactor Output does NOT split across the number of wires.
Connect the output from the Reactor to 1 Junction Box only. Start with wiring (connecting) the ‘power out’ node from the Reactor to the ‘power’ node in a Junction Box. These are the Wiring basics for powering your Sub.
