ABC-U + APC - BeardedElectron - 09-21-2014 Hey guys, I'm proposing that compatibility of the ABC-U be extended to APC's and their power terminals so that they are functional when trying to make a new room out in space. Currently I can only get an ABC-U to replicate a power terminal with the APC half the time, unfortunately they don't seem to be functional... I went as far as wiring them through a solar panel controller that was generating plenty of power, wiring it with active current, the APC reported no external power in all tests... So, I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a work in progress, but it would be great! Re: ABC-U + APC - BeardedElectron - 09-21-2014 Or maybe even allowing device analyzer and the fabrication unit to produce functional APC's and power terminals... that would be even better! Re: ABC-U + APC - UrsulaMejor - 09-21-2014 if i remember correctly APCs have to be coded into the map on server startup and are actually magic and that's why you can't move or create them. Re: ABC-U + APC - Paineframe - 09-21-2014 Pretty sure rooms out in space are magically powered anyway. Re: ABC-U + APC - Dabir - 09-23-2014 Yeah, APCs are the most powerful device in the station. They're the only things able to suppress the natural power level of space.

I figured as much that it was likely a limitation, still though it would be nice, as far as rooms being magically powered... the last time I tried that my terminal wouldn't turn on, maybe it's changed since then. ![]() ![]() Re: ABC-U + APC - Sam Guivene - 09-24-2014 I wonder, would it be possible to funnel energy out of space into the station? Re: ABC-U + APC - Zafhset - 09-26-2014 devices deployed anywhere not on station generally runs on magic (space, telesci locations, etc) In terms of funneling it back to the station, I suppose you could charge a cell off station and then use it to power an APC? |
