[0.10.12] Energy Shield recharges 2 times too fast

[BManx2000]

I was testing my power armor and I noticed that the Energy Shield MK2 was using more power than it's supposed to. The description states 150 shields, a power of 180 W and 30 J per shield unit, which should mean a recharging time of 25 seconds. When I tested it the power draw was 360 W and the shield charged in 12.5 seconds. So either the shield is charging too fast or the description is wrong.

I can confirm this.

150 shields * 30 J/shield =4500J

the shield mk2 prototype says

Code: Select all

    max_shield_value = 150,
    energy_source =
    {
      type = "electric",
      buffer_capacity = "180J",
      input_flow_limit = "180W",
      usage_priority = "primary-input"
    },
    energy_per_shield = "30J"

Test times are from installation of shield to full shield strength on a freeplay game with 60fps and game.alwaysday=true .

Tests:
powered by fusion reactor 12.5 sec (also measured at 12.6 sec at 30 fps setting)
powered by 10 solar panels 45 sec
powered from charged battery mk2 12.7 sec (within error for 12.5) State of charge looks correct given 5kJ-(4500J+180J)
powered from 18 solar panels 25.1 sec
powered from 36 solar panels 12.6 sec


I also timed an energy shield mk1 at 4 sec when powered from the fusion reactor. Calculated time is (20 J/shield * 50 shield ) / 120 W = 8.3 sec


I would conclude that the energy shields are charging at double the input flow limit set in the prototype.

Hello, thanks for the report, it is fixed for 0.11.11 now.
