[MOD REQUEST] Auto Flicker

[walterneto]

It would be awesome if there was a way to turn auto flicker for some buildings.

It would be a menu option for that structure.

What it would do: When a colonist start to use tailoring workbanch, it will turn it on, and do the work, after finishing it, it will flicker back off.
The flickering would take some extra time, but would save you energy.

JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE, you don't leave your eletrical things turned on 24/7, except for you fridge.

I second this, I remember a mod a couple alphas back that had very low idle power and full power when in use automaticly. Cannot remember the name tho...

The fueled stove has this line of code:

<consumeFuelOnlyWhenUsed>true</consumeFuelOnlyWhenUsed>

maybe you can insert that everywhere (while replacing fuel -> power). I would test that myself, but I don't have much time.
