VIDEO UPDATE - I mistakenly wired the memory cell in the battery backup section using the "toggle" input instead of the "reset input." You'll want to use the "reset" input! Thank you to everyone who brought this to my attention!

i have a question, coming from someone who plays on pve servers, could i use this to control a multicircuit system, eg i am running a big (tiny compared to others on my server) hemp farm right now i just combine all my power source 800w(peaks to 1600w during midday time due to east/west config of solars) into splitters to feed 6 batteriesand run multi circuits off them (source into cobiners then split to 6 large batts, 6 lrg batts run 6 different systems 2 of which are heaters at nearly 99w each)

Hey man, I noticed you did not put the second input to the toggle of the mem cell. If I am recalling your prior video correct didn't you say that was preferable?

Yep, that was a mistake. I built that one before I realized the issue and made the update fix video. I forgot to fix it before making this video.

Great vid! Really looking forward for the updated factory. Now that the RF components do not require tech trash it should be way more viable to go for the wireless alternative.

I used a splitter vs a branch for charging, that way both will get equal charge amount.

This is great, but I'm trying to improve it. I tend to have many things that aren't drawing constant power. (Lights during the day, Farm heaters and lights while not in operation, turrets or lights connected to heartbeat sensors, etc) With this system, I'm using the max potential rW while on root power and battery charging is less efficient. I'd love to find a way to divert all of the extra power to the batteries without having to change it manually.

Interesting! You'd like to, say, shut off your farm and have that power auto-divert to the battery until it's needed again in addition to the Nih Core return? You've peaked my interest. I have some ideas.

I think I figured it out. That extra "power out" on the electrical branch from your battery can be used to power intermittent devices directly from the battery. Just set the rest of the system up to power the constant devices. When it isn't in use, the active usage is 0. Is there a better solution?

Imaybe it’s very bad question but where should I place the Nih core? Next to the batery or in the core?

@AustinKlailaGames

Not a bad question at all! Circuit location really depends on how important it is (i.e. deep if running defenses, less so if just running some lights). Personally, I always place ALL my electrical circuits in the core with the TC, or sometimes, hidden in a bunker that's not likely in the path of a raider. Hope that helps!

What is the smartest to do if you have like 6 or 7 turbines with the same amount batterys? Better to do 6 or 7 apart circuits or.. what is the smartest and 'safest' ?

Question: On the NIH core, you use OR switches and it will pick either A or B. Could it be made with AND switch instead? Right now when it fails, it diverts what power you are still generating (ie 100) to the battery, and then extracts that out again. I am wondering if there is a way to prioritize so it continues to use the 100 from the root and then the battery just adds in the extra power that is needed. EDIT: Nevermind, I ran thru creative and saw that AND switch didnt work as I expected. Also there doesn't seem to be any way to merge power other than a root combiner and that needs direct source and not from a switch or such. PS. Loving this video, learned so much!

Question, say the batteries are run in parallel for an output of 200 but active usage is only 150, can a branch after the upper OR switch of the Nih core be used to reroute the extra 50 back in the the batteries through a root combiner between the Nih core and the batteries? The Nih core would be set to 200 in this situation.

I appreciate this! If you have two batteries, do you just split the source and do two of these?

@AustinKlailaGames

Ай бұрын

Awesome! You can definitely do that. Sometimes it's easier to simply run a Nih Core per battery with or without shared root power, especially now that the 2024 electrical update came out.

for the root power why do you not use the power out option on the branch instead of the branch option so you dont have to constantly fiddle with how much power you're sending out? Im sure theres a reason and im just missing it

I cant wait to understand wth your talking about 😅❤

Thank you for this. Not only for the instruction on how to make it. But why it works the way it does. This video changed my whole wipe! I am in a group of 6 and we kept running our power out at night with all our stuff. Now with this and a large battery. We are solid!

That's awesome! You are very welcome.

Why do you not like Parallel batteries? I like to do one per windmill. So 5 windmill system with 5 batteries all in parallel. One problem I run into is short/circuit max depth. Do you know what causes this. Sometimes it will happen around the 5/6th battery but I am doing it on one and it is on the 3rd using root combiners.

I don't even play rust, but very interesting.

Batteries in parallel is probably better when you don't have a large battery yet

True!

I still don't know why you would use this newer version of the Nih core, the old one using a blocker still works and requires less components. What advantages does the new one have?

@loic2445

Ай бұрын

Because with the old setup if you switched to the battery power you will use the full battery power. In the new setup you won't. But yeah the old setup still works fine

@Nihagi

I explained it under your comment on the previous video. You are refering to a Or/Block setup, and it is arguably worse than just running root power straight to battery unless you overcompensate on root power.

What's going on with the second Nih core? You didn't have the memory cell wired to the reset.

The problem for console is likely that the OR Switch doesn't behave like it does on PC. You'll need to wait for the update to come out, or, use the old version of the Nih Core

You can set up a single Nih Core on multiple batteries if you prefer, only the amount to root power changes.
