ElectricGeneratorTweaker plugin but with a large base (18X9X6) with over 50 turrets and 4 sams + lights its a lot of wiring :)

yes the limit is 15, after that you get a shortcircuit. maybe be able to remove that limitation from config would be nice, so we can have bigger electrical rooms.

I  dont have this problem , each of my test generators put out 750w so i have 2 rows of combiners and have got to 20 connections before i get a short circuit, I usually add the second row to the first after i have split the power (in the first) by using all power to one splitter to 3 splitters to 9 splitters (in the substation) then connect turrets/sams to each of those splitters (which entails connecting more splitters) , I usually have a base of maximum size (160 foundations/triangle foundations) so have up to 45 outside and 20 inside turrets running , on each substation (usually have 2) , I usually manage to have 200+w  per turret.

try placing down 15 solar panels +14 root combiners to a splitter split to 3 batteries and combine all those batteries (2 combiners) to a blocker let me know how it goes.

I'm just saying make a config option which can alter the short circuit limit. There has to be one.

I must apologise for my previous posts !, I use ElectricGeneratorTweaker Plugin and like an idiot missed the plugin reference before I jumped in and made a comment.

the convar for this is ioentity.backtracking. the default value is 8.

ioentity.backtracking * 2 will short circuit at 16 connections if the value is set to the default 8.

using the default value of 8...

it will cut input when it reaches 8 backtracking connections for a ORSwitch and XORSwitch, or 16 for a Electrical Combiner. sprinklers are limited to 8

liquid containers will only drain up to 8 connections, will not update at 16 connections, will not push anything at 32 connections, and will ignore gravity checks at 8.

this is what I gather from the assembly at least. I might've misinterpreted a calculation but regardless adjusting this to a higher value will solve your problem. you can set a convar yourself without relying on an update to do it for you. you might have to put this in your server cfg for it to persist through a server restart

ah thanks nivex i'll give it a try

This is awesome! Thanks for the info.
