📦 Overview
🕹️ Circuit breakers automatically switch off and stop power surges (⌁Zzzt⌁) from reaching batteries.
⚒️ Circuit breakers come with 10 fuse clips. After 10 triggers, they will break and need repair.
🪢 Line fuses don't require components, but are destroyed after a single trigger with a little emp flare.
🔎 You need to research Machining to build circuit breakers, Batteries to build line fuses.
📍They should be placed at choke points along power lines before they connect to batteries or generators.
⚡ Don’t Cross the Wires ⚡
❗ If there's an alternate path to your batteries without a circuit breaker or fuse, the power surge will take that route (literally short circuit) and cause mayhem ☠︎︎.
❗ Beware of the wires between a circuit breaker and a battery. To minimise the risk, avoid using long wires in protected areas. (Check the screenshots.)
⚙ Mod Settings ⚙
⚙ Hidden wires and powered equipment can now ⌁short circuit⌁ too; toggleable in settings.
⚙ Fuse consumption, battery drain, damage, breakdown risk, and notifications can be customised from the mod settings menu.
⚙ For a smooth update, a small check runs on map load to replace old breakers with updated ones. It’s safe and fast, but you can disable it in mod settings if no longer needed.
🧩 Compatibility
● Safe to add to existing saves.
● Removing with circuit breakers on the map causes a one-time error; saving again will clear it.
● Not compatible with other short circuit mods like RT Fuse.
🧱 Circuit breakers are made to be placeable on rocks, dirt, walls and gravship hulls. If you can't, but want to, please make sure:
☑ You are not trying to place them on existing cables, power elements or other stuff that might overlap.
💭 I know the wall-placing logic and the textures aren’t perfect for wall placement. But this is the closest I could get to making them both ground and wall placeable, because I don’t like clutter. If you’d like it any other way, feel free to make a mod for it and share.
