Conversion between W and J

[Dysoch]

What is thegoing rate between Joules and Watts?

In my current version of DyTech, the last laser turret had 1350J energy consumption. Ingame thats 8,1kW. So thats a going rate of 6W per J.

But at lower values, that doesnt apply.

To explain: the laser turret 8, i want to have an energy usage of 550W. So simply divide it throu 6 and you get 91,66666J
But when i do that, ingame it gives 398W

So i probably guess its exponential, but at what rates.

You can specify the power compsumion in watts, you dont need to use jules.

Wen doing that with the laser turrets energy consumption, they use only 1/10th of the specified amount.

Because you specify the consumion when shooting, and the idle consumion is 1/10 of the amount.

When you specify 800w energy usage, it uses 80w WHEN shooting. Already filled it as a bug, but it was intentional. The devs said i must use J for energy_consumption.

Thats why i wanted to know the conversion between them

The conversion in this case depends on turret's rate of fire (6 shots per second). But as Kovarex said in your bug report, there is input_flow limiter and I believe that brings the consumption below 550W.

I assume limiter size depens alone on energy needed for one shot. What if you lower firing rate a little and add more energy consumpition and damage?

Exactly, the consumption shown in the game is calculated as ConsumptionPerShot * Shots per second
