RUST: Large Base / Clan Electricity Setup (Read Description)
I didn't really finish explaining the Nih Core before I went off showing how to add more batteries. The final OR switch (top right) will either output the power you specified in the branch (if it has enough), 'or' will output the battery power. Another thing I wanted to mention, while trying to make the input system easy to understand, I daisy chained the root combiners (RC's) which is what caused the "Short Circuit" error. This server once gave me the error when I plugged a single solar panel into a battery, so I just assumed it was acting up. Daisy chaining RC's creates a depth problem that leads to that error, so avoid it (a simple way to know if you did it wrong, is if you have a power source and a RC as the inputs of one of your RC's. A RC inputs should have either 2 RC's, 1 power source and an empty, or 2 power sources. If you have a power source and a RC, you are daisy chaining). Same principle applies to batteries. If your batteries are being used, the circuit will output a lot of extra power, so having your final passthrough light to test if you are setting enough power in the branch won't help unless your circuit is being powered by your windmills/ power sources. Just overset it, then wait for your power sources to take over, then you can mess with the branch to find the perfect number. Also, you want your most important electrical items to be first in your branch wall. because if a battery gets destroyed, the last branches will be cut off first, then the second last, etc. You may want to segment your turrets if that's a concern, given in this video, I had 12 turrets on one branch, and if the my power sources weren't delivering 129 power (for whatever reason), all those turrets would not be functional. Whereas if I had 1 branch power 3 turrets, and the next branch powering 3 turrets etc (while inefficient in terms of power usage) so long as the circuit is receiving at least 34 power, those first 3 turrets will remain functional, and so on. Usually though this isn't something worthwhile considering.
