Note that it will display a connection even if the grid it attaches too does not sufficient or any power, and that while an appliance will default to that connection point it will be able to connect to other sources with range using the reconnect gizmo mentioned below. When placing an appliance's blueprint, the most direct connection point to a power transmitting structure will be displayed as a golden yellow connection between the current blueprint position and the power. Most appliances will connect automatically if placed up to six squares away from a power transporter, or when one is placed within range. Grids that are not connected by power transporters, or only connected via a power switch that is turned off, are completely independent from each other.įor a list of all buildings that consume power, see hereĪppliances are structures or buildings that consume power but don't transmit it. All points in a grid have instantaneous access to all power generated and stored by buildings attached to the grid. See Appliances for more detail.Ĭonfigurations of connected power transporters are called grids. This is distinct from appliances, which do not transport power, but can connect to a power transport from up to 6 tiles away. These power transporters must be directly adjacent to each other to connect and transport power between them.

Power travels through power conduits, waterproof conduits, power switches, batteries, and all generators and generator equivalents. Any power that isn't used or stored is wasted. Power only exists within a power grid and requires something to transport it. Power conduits can randomly short circuit whenever they are powered, and many power buildings or appliances can also short circuit while in rain or snow. Some appliances use less power when not in active use, sometimes referred to as 'stand-by' power. Most appliances will use power even when not actively being used - they must be manually switched off. Power generators create watts, and appliances will consume a certain amount of watts to function. Power is measured in the form of Watts (W). Reason: Does not cover the mechanics of power sufficiently - how is the order of power loss determined when demand>supply? When do power generators tick? When does battery capacity tick? etc. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it.
