i [1.0.0][Done] Questions about interaction with the equipment grid

2 years ago

Good afternoon! I analyzed the features of your mod and the mod ZElectricVehicleshttps://mods.factorio.com/mod/ZElectricVehicles in terms of compatibility with Krastorio 2

And stupid questions popped into my head:

  1. Can your batteries consume energy from energy sources located in the equipment grid: solar panels, power generators and other batteries?

  2. Can your batteries be placed in the equipment grid?

  3. Is it possible to simultaneously recharge the batteries placed in the equipment grid?

Thanks!

This mod does not interact with the equipment grid in any way, neither to recharge nor to draw power from it. To my knowledge doing so would require scripting which this mod completely avoids.

Thanks for the answer. In principle, such scenarios would be perfect for your mod.

Are you planning to make such an add-on?

Isn't that what https://mods.factorio.com/mod/K2_Wireless-Charger does? And I assume K2 has this built in (I don't know for sure).

The question is not that Krastorio 2 has portable generators. They interact with other elements in the equipment grid. And your mod has a completely different mechanics isolated from the equipment mesh.

And that is why I was interested in the question of the interaction of batteries in the fuel grid and elements in the equipment grid.

Basically, this is your mod. I just expressed my interest and my thoughts on this matter.

In any case, thanks for your replies!

I added support use the batteries of this mod as fuel for K2's equipment grid generators.
