Power Consumption Question

Post by Culthrasa »

Hey all,

I don't get the power consumption of the Rocket Silo....

I got 4 Prod3 in it, it says it consumes 16,7 MW (see first screenshot below), but when i check in the power consumption menu it says 1.0 MW in the graph and 4.0 MW in the tooltip (see second screenshot). What gives?

Maximum power consumption on power silo is only during the launch sequence I think.
It uses less spower when preparing the rocket.
