The QoL updates are sooo good now, maintaining my electric cave saves so much power now and getting my backup gennies wired was such a breeze

Love this was just testing a 8 batt loop today lol 4 main and 4 backup have to try this but running though a nih core 😅

I just frigged up a battery backup in my base. Need this new knowledge to make me feel better

SUBSCRIBED for the immaculate wiring. Sooooo smooth

Thanks!

I play on a community server that is 90% vanilla but has a few extras, like the test gen. I don't even use batteries now except for small bats for turrets.

Awesomely done!

U can also easily set up "modular" backup power this way. Say u branch out 10 power from ur main battery for a turret - just branch out 10 power from another battery and u combine them with the OR switch. This way you can keep the essentians alive for a few more minutes if u mian battery get destroyed/drained and since u can use small batteries they dont take much space

i set my new setup similar to this, but i use my root power (solar panels and windmills) to power my base, and then trickle charge my backup batteries, then combine them to the b side through root combiners. the only problemis if I have more then 100 usage, during night time it drains the first battery in my chain instead of distributing the power equally amongst my batteries (i use 4 generally) and usually cap my power usage around 340 end of wipe.

If you want it to draw equally from all batteries you need to run your batteries into a root combiner rather than in series from one battery into the other

Having a copy of this circuit in Rustrician would really help seeing the entire circuit setup.

Does the new update bring any changes to the niH circuit?

I too wish to know if this changes the Nih Core

@Raftatv

2 ай бұрын

Yeah the only change is that you set the branch to 3 not 4 now it would still work just saves a rust watt

Is it possible to switch to Input power only when it meets specific output? Lets say my base needs 200 power to run, but at this moment its early morning and solar outputting only 160, is it possible to run base from batteries until output from solar is 200 or more?

all well and good until you rather have everything on a NihCore setup and require more than 100rWm, they really need to fix that Parallel battery setup bug draining both batteries of the same rWm for each item.

Is it still possible to place a turret down that seperates power and that seperated power goes into a backup battery and then this backup battery is connected to OR switch?

Would this be recommended for a circuit demanding 250 power constantly?

Great explanation of how to get the circuit setup

i just see, feels good, but understand nothing by my lo english XD. Nice vids

so to my mind now the circuitboard becomes the most important thing to secure from raiders - do you have any "rules of thumb" for protecting your circuits in a raid?

@AustinKlailaGames

2 ай бұрын

I agree. The two safest options are in the tc room or strategically placed in a hidden bunker that's not in the most common raid paths. If you have a solid anti grief setup, the bunker is a better idea, considering you will likely get your base back. If you don't have anti grief, the tc room is fine (if they get to your tc, it's over anyway).

I need to figure out for myself here how to use this to draw from a windmill directly and have it fail over to the batter if the power drops under a value. I've always felt the battery itself should be the backup.

You could also split off some of your main power and trickle charge batteries linked into each other and then use those as an output if your mains go down

@AustinKlailaGames

Yep, you certainly could. This is probably the route most people would take

I've been doing this since electric came out but I was using blockers with electrical branch to daisy chain the batteries

Nice. That would also work.

Amazing video as always Austin, just wondering your thoughts on still using the nih core with the new electrical changes. I tweaked the branch that goes into the splitter from 4 to 3 and rigged up a 2 batteries for extra protection. Just want to see your thoughts and see if there is a more efficient way.

What key are hitting to just see one wire?

@AustinKlailaGames

2 ай бұрын

You can use Left Click when aimed at a wire connection to isolate the wire. Very useful for tracing wires. You can also change the color of the wire to whatever is selected in the color wheel by pressing the R key.

Yeah it's over for PC. but it's still very much relevant for us peasants on console rust.😢

Or... just bear with me. Simply run the batteries in series to double your capacity without all of the redundant switches.

Hey, so first off, not a RUST player, but for some reason I've gone down the RUST KZread Rabbit hole. Just wanted to say on your 10x example I feel you made the tree way overly complicated. Keep your 10 switches across the bottom. But put 1 OR gate above the gap in between *every* 2 switches. Not every other, in between every 2. Far left switch runs to OR 1 Primary 2nd Switch runs to OR 1 Secondary OR 1 Output runs to OR 2 Primary (so up, right, down, and into the bottom of the next one) 3rd switch runs to OR 2 Secondary. OR 2 Output runs to OR3 Primary Now you just repeat this pattern to N and you don't need to "tree" the outputs at all. You also end up with N-1 OR gates, which for 10 in your example is 9, and your example already has 9. Thinking of another Base 2 tree, 16 inputs, you need 8+4+2+1 OR gates, well that's still 15, so still N-1. Lastly, since Input 1 on the far left starts as Primary, and the Output of each earlier OR gate is the Primary of the next one, it still runs in your left to right pattern as far as battery depletion goes. This thinner pattern also means you can put them on the wall above the Batteries to save space.

@Austin Klaila games please do a tutorial on Tesla coils nobody has done done one since they came out and they are trash videos

Alright, I'll get one out for you.

I don't understand why you made such a huge point about batteries needing to be equal sizes when that's irrelevant to this. If your circuit has a load of 40 and you use a medium and a large, it works. The large gets drained first and then the medium takes over when the large is depleted. The only time sizes need to be equal is if the max draw exceeds one of the batteries. If you're drawing 70 and the medium kicks over, whatever is using the last 20 energy doesn't get any, but the backup is sill functional.

@AustinKlailaGames

You are correct, but I purposely didn't cover that in this video to avoid confusion. And a battery backup should be the same size to, as you stated, avoid the primary exceeding the secondary.

You can wire batteries in series without an and/or switch to extend your battery backup time, but you DO NOT need the circuits he shows to do this which only drain power (before the update).
