Electric Transformators

by max2344

Add 5 tiers of transformators for better control over the electric supply network. The transfer power for each tier is 1MW, 10MW, 100MW, 1GW, 10GW with efficiency of ~98%

Could we get tiers of transformers, specifically at lower tiers? It would be nice to have everything from 1 kilowatt (zeroth power) to 10GW(eighth power).

Hi,

do you have an idea how this tiering should look like and how it is going to be used?

For my purposes, it is to build a device that lets me scale up and scale down entire wings of my factory. While the existing transformers (is "transformators" a non-english word?) give me that ability, the lowest tier is 1 megawatt- anything less that 1 mw can't be controlled. So for a low power potentiometer, I would need lower tiers of transformers.

I see, though it can be controlled if you use accumulators to split the electric network. The accumulators have their transfer limited to 300kW so 3 of them is roughly 1 MW. Thats a known way of limiting transfer and works without problems. Such setup is described at https://wiki.factorio.com/Accumulator#Isolation_of_Power_Networks.

The name Electric Transformators was chosen to avoid ambiguosity and cross-reference to a famous American and Japanese media franchise. Also, there are few other mods which already used other desired names.
