Description
The Area Power Controller is used to segregate power into their own subnetworks and reduce power fluctuations.
Usage
The APC can be opened with a Crowbar, once opened the switch must be set to the 'ON' state for it to function. A battery can be added to act as a power buffer for the subnetwork in the event the main power network gets disconnected. Currently, the dials in the APC do nothing.
The APC can generally be used for machines with varying power requirements such as the Auto lathe, Electronics Printer, Fabricator, Arc Furnace, and more. This will allow all these machines to take lots of power in short intervals as long as the APC has a battery. This is a similar object to the Transformer that only allows a specified amount of power through.
History
Previously in older versions of the game, a battery must be placed in the APC for it to function. This is no longer the case after the power rework update in v0.1.1062.5426.
