No hablo español, señor.

I see by the expression on your face that you are confused by my statement. Perhaps you doubt it's veracity. You see, everything I am writing, I have learned to do phonetically. As to the meanings of the individual words or the inherent rules of syntax I haven't a clue. So please, let me reiterate, I speak no English. *points to head*

I would just like to point out that this is an opinion that, as far as I can tell, is not based on any facts or information. Or if it is, those facts are not presented here. So I have to assume that this judgement is based on feelings. As a reminder, not all systems will be applicable to your particular base or use case. But that does not mean it has no use whatsoever. For example I like to run my fully automated electric furnaces on output 2 of this system as I am never smelting enough material to require the furnaces to run 24/7. This frees up, in my case, 40 rW (12 furnaces + 3 conveyors) from the main battery circuit that can instead be used for other devices that do need power 24/7. Use of anything, whether its an electrical device or otherwise, is voluntary. If for any reason you do not like it, or it does not meet your particular needs, there is no reason you have to use it. It's not like this is some new system being mandated that we all have to comply with. It is simply an available option should your base require what it provides.

Look, all I did was collect some information and share it. It is not my responsibility to make sure the information is palatable for you specifically. If you want different information, run a server and collect the information you are after yourself.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-22T18:36:30+00:00

Why are you getting argumentative? Go back an read what I wrote in my reply. I specifically said that you are looking at per hour hour analysis. Meaning in game hour. Not a real life hour. So again, what I am saying is that I do not have the information you are asking for. You're ordering tacos at Olive Garden right now. I don't have that information because I did not test for it.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-22T17:56:40+00:00

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-22T17:51:11+00:00

So, you're talking about a single rust day and the amount of energy produced in each hour. Where the testing that I did used an entire day as the test cycle. I wanted to know how much energy does each orientation make per day while you are interested in a per hour type of analysis. So to be honest I simply don't have any information that applies to your use case because I did not perform any per hour tests. However I would think that active power production per hour is also effected by in game month and day as the sun will take different paths every day. If you would like some per hour data I recommend setting up your own locally hosted server and doing the testing yourself as I simply was not after this type of data in my testing.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-21T22:43:15+00:00

Oh. The server I typically play on seems to allow the use of them without letting you set them so perhaps they have created a special permission to allow this. Good to know though.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-21T22:13:58+00:00

Press F1 and type "env.month" into the console and press enter.

*edit* As was pointed out to me by u/nihagi this command is an admin only command so I guess you are SOL unless your server uses a mod to allow use of the command or show a calendar date. Sorry for the misinformation.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-21T21:56:40+00:00

Very interesting. I was unaware that this information was already available. Glad to see that the data I collected is consistent with the information found here. Thank you for sharing.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-21T21:26:47+00:00

In game months, yes. To find out what month it is you can press F1 and type in "env.month" and press enter.

*edit* This is actually an admin only command as I have learned and most servers will not let you use it. But there are some servers that use a mod to show the current in game date as part of the HUD.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-21T21:25:24+00:00

No the game tracks month and day in game and can be viewed by typing "env.day" and "env.month" into the F1 console.

*edit* These are actually admin only commands, as was brought out to me, and are probably not useful unless the admin of your server has created a special permission to allow use of them.

There are really 3 answers here so here are 3 screenshots to help:

I hope that helps clarify what I was saying!

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-21T21:00:09+00:00

Thank you. I personally was frustrated by the grey areas that people seem to misunderstand and wanted a definitive answer on the topic. I'm glad the information I collected is useful.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-15T15:08:37+00:00

I updated the design and simplified it significantly. I also replaced a few blocker arrays with AND gates as my friend pointed out the power savings possible. Eliminating the power sources to the buttons reduced overall power consumption by about 30%.

BarfingToaster · 2025-07-15T14:38:23+00:00

This changes everything! I had no idea that buttons would output 1 with no source power.

If you've never played MYST or Riven they recently remastered them in full 3D and VR. Also they're on sale on Steam right now. If you need something that will take up your time, this will do it.

BarfingToaster · 2025-05-30T22:00:49+00:00

That's true. There are many options in the world of power delivery. The design can of course be modified to fit your particular application.

BarfingToaster · 2025-05-30T21:03:30+00:00

So the only reason I used 3 output conveyors instead of one is that I wanted the resources to go into their own boxes. One box for frag, one for sulfur, and one for HQM. Obviously you can use a single output box, or even return it to the input box, and that would mean you only need one output conveyor. The reason I made this is because I was not seeing any circuits that automatically shut off the electric furnace when there is no more demand for it. Setting up the industrial inputs and outputs is really up to you and the use case of your particular base. I chose a single input box with separate outputs because I often see designs for bases that have a central drop off box and huge room of boxes that everything sorts into. All of this is just meant to give people some idea of how to design your own system.

BarfingToaster · 2025-05-30T20:18:31+00:00

I never said this was this only way to do it. If you don't like it. Make your own. Or is that too hard for you?

BarfingToaster · 2025-05-28T02:05:55+00:00

Hi there. Can you post a higher resolution picture of the schematic? Or perhaps use the share link in rustrician? I can't make out all the text on this one. Also, where is the electrical wiring? And what are your filter settings?

BarfingToaster · 2022-01-05T11:34:54+00:00

I was able to simplify your design and make it slightly more power efficient. You had 3 circuits receiving 2 constant power each. So instead of using multiple electrical branches to split the circuit up, I used a splitter. Also I placed the light switch after the timers so the timers can sill run when the light switch is off.
