The Most Important Electric System To Do On Rust

[@Gabe-cobalt]

Oh yeah, I forgot to show but it also defends perfectly against the MRLS And you can also use generators to power the other SAM Sites when the main SAM Site has a target, because generators have an option to "force start" and "force stop"

[@JELKEK]

The fact that most players wont understand any of this makes me happy. I love having useful knowledge in this game other than “Beam AK”.

[@Gabe-cobalt]

You can possibly make better by using no ammo output from the sams to turn the turrets back on. In case someone baits all of the sammo and parks a mini next to the sam to keep the turrets off (If people catch on to it ofc).

[@Gabe-cobalt]

Yeah that's good! Or if you are online, just have a button to change the memory cell state

[@MOTHMAN445]

why go to highschool to learn electricity when we have rust

[@Gabe-cobalt]

Ahaha

[@ReptileKing999]

this is the kind of electrical content we need, I have been looking for more in depth videos like this one, I have some pretty impressive circuits myself and would love to ask. How would you go about building a waste energy charging system for battery backups on a large scale? there would have to be one output for base energy mains/backup that links to the base circuit also. I have a functioning circuit but its very messy and often hits depth limit, I am wondering how you would go about solving this.

[@Gabe-cobalt]

So if I get it right, let's say there's for example 2 large batteries, and what you are saying is if one battery wastes all his energy, the other will kick in?

[@calebwatson966]

I think he's talking about the old electric system where a battery used the maximum output and if you didn't use it all, it was wasted

[@Gabe-cobalt]

No problem

[@Corzappy]

All I can imagine now is someone doing a raid where they fly a minicopter over the base so the turrets lose power and they can steal the loot like some sort of bank heist.

[@Gabe-cobalt]

Yeah but nobody will do that

[@CosminZeed]

so you basically use 1 sam site to track any heli that passes but when the sam sites are engaged, the auto turrets get turned off to let the power flow to the sam sites. This is useful but if you have that many SAMS and Turrets you should already have 2 windmills or even more. The circuit is awesome and very creative so you have thumbs up!

[@OoMacDreoO]

Gave you got some legit tips man!

[@evilutionltd]

So essentially, everything is in standby mode until needed then it turns on and turns off when completed. That way you aren't using loads of power keeping everything turned on all the time.

[@gloverelaxis]

This is a great idea. A summary for people who already know electricity basics: you keep just a single SAM site online to detect aerial targets, and use its "has target" output to route power to your other SAM sites at the expense of your turrets (or anything else which doesn't need to be running during an aerial attack). The more SAM sites you have, the more power this saves. Careful, though, because if that single "lookout' SAM is destroyed, all of your SAMs become useless. Explanation for others: There are 4 separate tricks here: 1. In a similar way to how AND/OR gates are the only way to programmatically change which INPUT power source you want to take from, memory cells are the only component that let you programmatically switch which OUTPUT to send an arbitrary amount of power to. 2. To get JUST the behaviour of trick (1) without the "memory" functionality -- meaning, to make the memcell switch outputs back to default again the moment your "switch the output" signal goes off -- you just take your "switch the output" signal (which should be being routed into the memcell's "set" input), split that with a branch/splitter, invert the duplicate signal with a blocker, and plug that inverted signal into the "reset" input of the memcell. So now "set" is being triggered when "switch the output" turns on, and "reset" is being triggered when "switch the output" turns off. 3. You generally don't need your turrets AND your SAM sites to be powered at the exact same time, because players usually won't attack on the ground at the same time as a heli or MRLS attack. 4. Because your SAM sites generally have the same view of the sky, you only need to power a single (very power-expensive) SAM site to get pretty much the same coverage for heli/MLRS detection as if had them all powered.

[@Well_Shady]

that is quite ingenious, very good my dude,

[@Sleeky1845]

So you can set Sam sites to turn on when one finds a target to save power but turns off the turrets for a slight second, correct?

[@Gabe-cobalt]

Correct. The power that was going to the turrets changed to go to the SAM Sites

[@steffenk1371]

@@Gabe-cobalt Thats actually totally genius to save energy. I really love that concept. I would love to know more about energy saving circuits. Have you tried to test if the circuit start fast enough to stop an MLRS attack? I mean those rockets are quite fast and the Sam Site need to turn on for a split of a second before it shoots - right?

[@PickyMcCritical]

So he always keeps 1 SAM powered as a scout, which leaves enough power for his turrets, and then diverts power from his turrets to the other 2 SAM Sites when the scout has a target, right?

Dude that's pretty neat, wont drain a battery super fast. Thanks!

[@Gabe-cobalt]

No problem mate!

[@Megalodab8793]

valid idea but im not sure it would b very useful. i think that since sam sites are expensive, people want to use them as efficiently as possible to like cover range around the base looking for helis, so each sam site needs to constantly be on so it can look for helis since each sam site sees a different area. So while this design is good as it saves power, i feel like its better in most cases to just have them all on and monitoring. However I would like to see how this plays against MLRS, since when ur defending against mlrs its more about firepower than range. Maybe the animation/delay for turning on would be too long to make it useful (tbh i forgot how bad the delay is). Most likely i think that since most people use sams for both helis and mlrs, its probably still better to have them on all the time. idk tho this could have potential. efficiency improvements are probably possible too.

it turns of the turrets temporarily whenever the sam sites have a target so you can still maintain turrets running but also have the sam sites needed for mlrs and helis only powered off of 1 battery

I still prefer the infinite power loop. This is just for very small budget.

[@Gabe-cobalt]

Oh ahahahaha! That thing is completely useless, I watched some videos about that and they even made it wrong. The correct way of doing that is to have a memory cell so when the solar panel doesn't make enough electricity, the memory cell changes state to recharge the battery with the remaining solar panel power (The wrong way is ignoring the remaining solar power). For example, MisterFlak did a video about that and it has right now 222K views and he clearly didn't know what he was doing because he even did it worst than the wrong way, he put a splitter (instead of a branch) to divide the power to the battery and the power consumers (Ex: Turret), which makes no sense. The correct way, that has a memory cell, is also not worth doing, I tested using some math, a wind turbine, and a medium battery and the overall efficiency just adds 5%! You see? 5 God Dam %. This happens because the components to make this "infinite power loop" waste Rust Watts from the power supply. Some other details: The smaller your power supply is, the less % efficiency you will have. The bigger your power supply is, the more % efficiency you will have. On overall, it's not worth doing this system and efficiency is negligible

[@MisterFlak]

@@Gabe-cobalt the circuit mentioned definitely wasn't made to be efficient. it was more a working theory of how to power with a battery at night and solar panel in the day. The real best way to have "unlimited power" is multiple windmills and large batteries due to their cheapness.
