About Tiered Electricity
Tiered Electricity allows players with permission to be granted increased power output and other properties from all available electricity power source entities in the game:
- Small Battery
- Medium Battery
- Large Battery
- Solar Panels
- Wind Turbines
- Fuel Generators
- Test Generators
Simply grant permissions to players and all their electric power sources will inherit the property of that Tier immediately, as set in the config.
Works excellently with any Shop/Reward Shop that can issue commands and/or permissions.
There are 3 basic Tiers which will probably suit most people, but server owners can create as many tiers as they like by cloning an existing tier in the config and editing to suit, the number of tiers is infinite!
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to limitations within the game, the modified power output and will not be displayed on the UI panel. Only the maximum default values can be displayed. But the output will be modified and you will see this modified value when using the wire tool when you take the output and connect it to the input of a IO Entity.
Quantum Batteries:
There is also an option to enable Quantum Batteries for players with permission. All batteries owned/placed by a player with this permission will have infinite power!
NOTE: Tier order in the config is IMPORTANT. The lowest tier must be at the top of the list in the config, with the highest tier at the bottom. If you don't do this, f players are in more than one group with multiple permissions for this plugin, the values may be undesirable!
PERMISSIONS DO NOT STACK.
Permissions:
- tieredelectricity.admin (needed for the reload command)
- tieredelectricity.quantum (all players batteries will be quantum type)
- tieredelectricity.tier1
- tieredelectricity..tier2
- tieredelectricity..tier3
- etc
(Permissions will be set for each tier you create and will be named after the tier name in the config.)
Commands (prefix with / for use in chat):
- reload <batteries|solar|turbine|fuelgen|testgen|all>
Note: Reloading can cause heavy load, depending on how many IOEntities are on the map, high pop will obviously be higher load. You can mitigate this by only reloading the config you need to if you have made changes, without reloading the whole plugin or all types.
Config is very easy with clear instructions and Rust default values available, but very customisable.
