[1.5] RT Mods - expansion o'clock again (2024-04-20)

[Ratys]

RT Power Switch is bugged. When "Emergency power" mode is activated, the switch doesn't turn ON when needed if the adjacent energy network need it, IF the network DOESN'T have a battery activated in.

All worked fine until I put RT Power Switch (in Emergency Mode) in front of all my batteries packs.

Be Careful. 

It's not a bug, the relevant research project's description warns you of exactly that, and it happens because of how power networks in RimWorld work.

My bad, thank you for the precision!

Ratys,
could you made/compile a quantum storage mod which don't look for updates that much ? Maybe 10/100 times the ticks like currently.
I want to check if that reduce the lag on high gamespeed.
After i got now enough energy for QT stockpiles, i just notice these effect again.

Here you go. This one is 10x slower, just for you; not going to release this officially officially, because that takes more time than making the changes themselves. And because I'm in an ongoing redesign process for what likely will be version 2.0.0 (not yet completely sure how and when it will be released, might just hoard it until next alpha comes around, to eliminate the need of handling legacy stuff to maintain save compatibility).

Bear in mind that this release wasn't tested as thoroughly. In theory it shouldn't break anything due to how everything was coded in the first place, but one never knows. Let me know of anything weird, or if you want an even slower version.

[Canute]

Thanks,
so far i don't notice any withdraw compared to the regular version. And the game runs a smoother on fast gamespeed.
Maybe just for testing, a 100x times slower update version ? :-)

I'll be adding RT Fuse to my mod pack.

It is ridiculous that we can build spaceships and not fuses...

Hi there again!
I just wanted you to know that i have had this error a couple of times, it only happens when i load my save, and it might be related to me uninstalling the corresponding Quantum warehouse the quantum relay was set to:

-lotsa data snip-

That's a very informative report, thank you. I've put it up on my github, so that I'll remember to take a good close look at it when I'm actively developing the mods again (which should happen close around next RimWorld release).

[MaximusIsAwesome]

Dam these are some great mods.

I just had pirates drop in through the roof right besides a quantum stockpile. This gave me the following error message multiple times until the drop pod despawned:

I guess a drop pod landing on a stockpile really is an exception

[Spdskatr]

Haha, funniest error I've seen in a while. The cause was that the drop pod thing def doesn't have a thingCategories tag, therefore is NULL. Ratys didn't include a null checker for thingCategories in RT_QuantumStorage.Utilities.IsChunk to catch this error.

Tbh fastest time I've ever debugged an error

It also happens when you recycle apparello eyewear near a stockpile, it doesn't know what to do with the "monel", "plastic" an "titanium" that they yield.

[Ratys]

Noted, added to TODO, thank you all.

[DigitalCore]

Hey Ratys, just had a question regarding solar flare shields. Do you have any plans to make them function on only networks they're connected to for a lower power draw? Or are they just for blanket protection?
