adjust idle/active energy usage
Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2016 5:38 pm
Hello,
is there a way to adjust the idle/active energy usage of a machine?
im planning of making a "load-resistor" to drain large ammounts of energy from my power network.
my idea was modifying a lamp and use the circuit network condition to toggle it on and off.
the problem now is the idle energy usage: if i set the lamps "energy_usage_per_tick" to 1000KW it will drain 997kw (where do the 3kw go btw?) :
but if the lamp is off it drains about 33kw:
this is not suitable for measuring purposes..
also adding idle_energy_usage = 0KW does not work.
how can i set the idle consumption to zero?
