Accumulator usage priority

[darkfrei]

Hi!

Now in vanilla usage_priority of accumulator has this definition:

Code: Select all

data.raw.accumulator.accumulator.energy_source.usage_priority = "terciary"

If you try to make something another https://wiki.factorio.com/Types/ElectricUsagePriority

Code: Select all

data.raw.accumulator.accumulator.energy_source.usage_priority = "secondary"

or

Code: Select all

data.raw.accumulator.accumulator.energy_source.usage_priority = "primary"

then you get error.

Thanks for the report. There are 2 problems: there is no "primary" or "secondary" priority. There is 'primary-input" and "primary-output"/"secondary-input", "secondary-output".

And the second problem: accumulators are hard coded to the accumulator-managed-by-group priority and will ignore anything you set.

Why we have "primary-input", "secondary-input", but by accumulators just "terciary"?

Why accumulators do not charge from electric energy interface?

Because that's what was needed to make the base game logic work. Accumultors no longer use that value and instead define their own priority for optimization reasons.

The electric energy interface defines its usage priority as "tertiary" which is the same as what accumulators use. Change it to primary-output if you want it to charge accumulators.

Thanks, it works!
