Wow. This is so good. I feel like I actually understand fundamentally how to wire things up. Thank you!

[@AustinKlailaGames]

You're welcome!

[@lil.indica]

This was an amazing hidden gem of a video. So glad I came across it. Thank you for the effort you put into making it! Useless to just say, but you definitely deserve far more views. This is some quality stuff.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

I appreciate the feedback, thank you! I glad it was helpful for you.

[@rickyhuynh8482]

I do HVAC controls irl, it is 70% the same thing in Rust but your videos make it very easy for me to understand the rest. After watching your videos im able to create a circuit to power 18 turrets using 2 windmills with also a 8 hour back up battery.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Awesome!

[@pauld1987]

Super video mate, very helpful. Thank you

[@leeenus5035]

Thank you very much for being so good at describing everything!

Very clear, efficient explanation! Thanks

You're welcome!

[@axelljaxx3007]

great tutorial thank you, i watched most of ur tuts and a noob at electricity thanks to u im setting up 20 turrets and sam sites, 3 diff power sources.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Hey nice job!

[@rylanstewart4232]

New to thé electrical side of rust and this just helped a lot I feel confident to set my base up now

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Awesome!

[@jonm2595]

Amazingly simple explanation in laymen’s terms

[@fragmaster7777]

Beginners to rust electricity like me really need your videos to understand it from the basics. Your subscribers and view count are gonna blow up for rust players because of your content. I hope my comment and like are the butterfly effect that does it!

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Thank you!

[@samsharma3216]

Today I've made 4 circuits(started to learn electricity) before watching your video, I didn't knew that you have to connect power out to power in always, connect stuff to the branch out plus, in some cases one thing take one power per connection. I was thinking that I was not using that kuch power but the battery is still showing me that it's is using 70% of its power while I only switched on one turret. Just to save that, I disconnected the battery from the turret & connected it directly to the turret with maybe one electrical branch in between that I gave 10 & it showed me 22 in use on battery. What I wanted was to not use power of the things I've not switched on but for some reason it was still talking that much power but after switching it starting taking much more. Thank you, I've been wasting power & in also every circuit i've made now I atleast know where I was wrong.

Love the vid never understod power untill now ama start adding turrets now

Awesome!

The release of electricity on console is gonna bump your views up, everybody in my clan and locally on my server is talking about you, awesome videos!!😁😁

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Awesome, thank you! Feel free to drop any requests in my discord

I'm here cause rust console. I'm getting ready to be the power guy in my group.

[@altonkay2601]

Your videos should have a lot more views. Everyone I have shared them with have commented that you explain the details very clear. Do you have a video of all of this applied in an actual base? I’m curious what your electrical room would look like for a large base with triple battery back up.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Thanks! I have a full base wire up video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpKvi6ijoNKoqpo, but it only includes a two battery backup. I'll put one together for a triple battery backup. Let me know if there's a particular base design you'd like me to use

[@altonkay2601]

@@AustinKlailaGames I just watched that video and wow it is packed. My current electrical room is messy and I will be using all of your tips. I especially like the triangles for the batteries and the fact that they are in different locations.

Your guide was most helpful. thanks. though i have one question...what are you using to color your electrical wires?

[@AustinKlailaGames]

You're welcome! With the wire tool active, hold r to access the wire color wheel

thanks bro electrical just came to console test servers🙏🏻

[@alexchambers382]

Really great explanations. Is it better to place switches first in the chain before the branches? That way the branches aren’t spending the charge if the switch is turned off? If branches are before the switch won’t the battery still be draining from those branches even if the switch is off?

[@AustinKlailaGames]

That's a really great question. Switches (and blockers) will fully disconnect any/all items connected to their output from the battery. Meaning, the active usage is temporarily removed when the switch is off (or block passthrough engaged). So yes, you can strategically place them if you want to do this. A branch out setting will always draw active usage unless a switch or blocker is used before it. BUT, any additional branch out that's connected OFF of a branch out will be ignored. Example - a branch out set to 20 rW with a branch switch connected to it with ITS branch out set to 5 rW will only register 20 active usage (if that made sense).

[@chok1169]

Man I am retarded but this video really helped me understand how to save some electricity power. Thx and you got a sub.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Thanks!

[@Breezee_86]

Been watching all your electrical videos so I’m ready for when they drop the electrics into the console, been playing around with everything on test branch and have followed your exact method with the tree of branches and counters but it doesn’t seem to be working for me. I have two wind turbines hooked up to 1 root combiner going to a large battery which is taking in a combined value of 226. I’ve then came off the power out on my battery to the power in on my first branch and then added more branches and counters. For some reason none of my counters seem to be displaying what I’m configuring each branch too and the final counter is also the same. Can’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

I do two things to get the counters to display voltage. 1. Make sure the counter is set to "show passthrough" 2. To show voltage without connecting the counter to another switch, connect its output to itself (I use the clear counter input on the side) Let me know if you have any questions!

[@39bokii]

way better than Jfarr vid

[@39bokii]

maybe change the name so ppl can say it and spread the word. but that's just me

[@altonkay2601]

Is there a way to only allow a certain amount of power to be used from a large battery? For example I only want to use 22 watts from a large battery and send 50 from power generation to keep it charged. When I use the branch it uses all 100 watts that is available.

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Yes, absolutely. Clarifying questions - is the Branch Out set to 100? Or are there items hooked up down circuit of the Power Out that total up to 100 off that branch switch? The battery's active usage should only register what's hooked up to it and/or the total of any Branch Out set values.

[@stevenwest0]

Not sure this works now. I have the exact same set up but 4 solars into 2 then 1 combiner. Mine say 1 all the way up and the top says 1 also. Even though the power shows 75 or 76

[@reddiksmith9328]

With this set up couldn't some ruin the whole wiring by shooting the first part of the tree but also if you have it in core that doesn't really matter anyway

[@AustinKlailaGames]

Yep, very true. It's why it's so important to secure the electrical room. I always use my tc core for this reason.

[@-J_0]

only getting 100 volts from battery how do i increase that

[@AustinKlailaGames]

The large battery has a max output of 100v. Best thing to do is set up another battery
