'Freya' OBSOLETE

Description

Freya will manage your batteries. Useful with any battery system, even vanilla ones, but tested most with the XPAR modular energy batteries. She'll give you more battery power if you use a lot (say, firing engines), and recharge the most critical batteries in moments of slack.

Freya will also notify you if reactors are screwed up, and keep your oxygen from getting so full you can't depressurize.

Set up is very easy. Watch the video for details, but essentially:

A programmable block. Put Freya in.

A timer. Have it trigger itself and Freya. Start it.

Optional: have an LCD screen named "Status" showing public text. If you have multiple ships with Freya aboard, change what name she looks for.

Recommended battery mod (mine): https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=443961421

For an alternate battery-charging service, try Frey. He charges specific batteries and optionally fires timers: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=460742981

Freya is compatible with GetBlock.

OK, I reordered the power and created a script. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=570491723

I'll have to create a new version of Freya, but yes.
Darian Stephens 5 Dec, 2015 @ 8:32pm 
Well... when they're fixed, will Freya fulfill my needs?
Craig P  [author] 5 Dec, 2015 @ 8:25pm 
(You can watch the last video in the header to see an in-depth explanation.)

Sorry, they broke batteries. Until they fix batteries, Freya does not work.
Darian Stephens 5 Dec, 2015 @ 8:23pm 
So, I'm somewhat new to Space Engineering (Despite owning the game for some time), and I'd like to know if there's a way to discharge batteries when we need them (Aren't generating power), mostly so I can have my ship on at night when the solar panels die, but switch to solar when the sun comes up.
If I'm understanding this correctly, Freya should do exactly that and more. Is that right?
Craig P  [author] 5 Dec, 2015 @ 8:16pm 
Yes. It looks like someone accidentally programmed the power priorities backwards. I expect it'll be fixed in a few.

Could the changes have anything to do with why every single battery in my station keeps getting set to recharge at night time, thereby shutting down the entire station despite having a reactor? Happens about every five to ten minutes, but well after the sun has gone down.

I tried to make a version of this that works, but it looks like Space Engineers changed the power drain order, brownout pattern, and so on - while also radically increasing the max draw of the batteries. I can't make it work well.

Why is battery charging higher priority than EVERYTHING ELSE?

can you modify it
