Power Low

Power Low

Low Power Stored is a gate trigger provided on any gate adjacent to a machine that holds an MJ buffer.

Requirements

When selected, the connected actions will activate while the adjacent machine's stored power is below 5% of its capacity. Use it to switch on engines on demand instead of running them continuously, or to redirect a shared power source to whichever buffer is emptiest.

Trigger Directions

Gates may show the Low Power Stored trigger multiple times in different colours to represent each of the different adjacent machines. The colour of the trigger represents the direction of the machine in relation to the gate so you can differentiate between each machine.
