No Drain wattage represented for lights

Post by dhamilton63 »

There is no drain wattage indicated for lights, however, they appear to have a drain of approx. 166W according to my crack calculation. Minor to say the least, but an observation on an idle factory.

They don't have a drain value. They have an idle consumption value and an active consumption value.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Fair enough. However, I only made the connection based on other objects in the game that consume power while idle (or not in use) which have a drain value. Is the idle consumption represented, or otherwise documented, somewhere? Honestly, this was nothing more than a curious observation that I thought worth sharing.
