[0.15.10] [kovarex] Boiler doesn't work with electric energy source

Post by GotLag »

As per the 0.15.0 changelog:
Boiler has now dynamically specified energy source (as inserter and similar).
A boiler with an electric energy source won't consume power, it will flash the yellow "unplugged" icon at all times, whether or not it's in range of a power pole. It places no drain on any electrical network it's in range of.

Entity definition used:

Code: Select all

kettle = util.table.deepcopy(data.raw["boiler"]["boiler"])
kettle.name = "electric-boiler"
kettle.minable.result = "electric-boiler"
kettle.energy_source =
{
  type = "electric",
  usage_priority = "secondary-input",
  effectivity = 0.5,
  emissions = 0.1 / 6.5,
}

data:extend(
{
  kettle
})

Yay, my mod works now, but meh I gave up that idea since someone else already made an electric version and posted on the modportal anyways.

I just registered, and I bought the game recently. I can not understand if in the beta 0.15.12, the steam turbine has been fixed or not, because it does not work for me in the free play, the current indicator flashes, but it should produce it! (Among other things, it does not work even in the normal version of the game). Can anyone explain me better if the bug has to be resolved or if it has been resolved? thank you

This bug has been resolved.

Make sure you have your boilers connected properly, with water coming in the ends, and steam coming out the sides, and make sure you have electrical poles around your steam engines. Here's an example picture: Image

Other than that, the Gameplay Help section is a better place to get answers.

I'm sure I did the right connections because the boiler is running but the turbine always flashes the signal as it appears from the screenshoot. I do not know how to proceed because assembling components seems right.

You need fuel in the boiler. Also, engines will flash that yellow icon until they are connected to machines that use power, such as miners, inserters or assemblers.
