DONT WORK

Update Script here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3280021070

@Beltrán White, I have updated your "Power Management Script" for SE. I was wondering if you had a problem with me posting it and leaving a link to your original scrip.

I cant get it to work.
Can someone conform that this mod could still work after last updates?
In the Programmable Block i get the info: "string in wrong format"
I would totally like to use this mod so i can save some uran

Still working fine for me will update once I have run it for a while.

Thanks Dr. Zarkon. Confirming this still works as of today. Even without the LCD display it does what it is supposed to.

In the last line of code where it has:

lcd.WritePublicText(outputToLCD);

Removing the "Public" worked for me. (Though you will need to manually switch the LCD panel's content type to Text and Images).

Replace with: lcd.WriteText(outputToLCD);

It seems to be working with this small change. I don't know much else about the script as I am new to it.

This stopped working for me, when I click check code I get an Error Program(99,0):warning:'IMyTextPanel.WritePublicText(string, bool)' is obsolete: 'LCD public text is deprecated'

Dose this still work for anyone I can seem to get it to work?

I used this to control a nanite factory from mod, a useful script!

does this work well with wind turbines

Ok.. .something odd is happening. I thought it was just the timer block not working but that doesn't seem to be the case. Checking my batteries manually they seem to be 90%+ but the LCD is reporting 3-4% and turning on the reactors.

If I recompile the script and start it again it suddenly jumps up to the correct 90%+ value but after a little while running it starts misbehaving again.

Never mind.. figured it out. I'd not setup the timer block correctly

Hi. Love this script but I've noticed a problem.

On the LCD the "Current Battery Charge" is at 3.79%

When I check the batteries manually they are all at 100%.

It's like the script is not seeing them as fully charged and so leaves the reactor on all the time.

If you want to control Multiple reactors controlled from the programmable block... You can just name them all "reactor" and they will all work as one.

Had a 'String in wrong format error' preventing script from running. I think it was because there was no uranium in reactor. Maybe something to look at.

I recognise that name...have you played HCS planetside?

Name your reactors similarly, like "Station Reactor 1" and "Station Reactor 2". In the ReactorSearchString variable type in something unique that will capture both reactors like "Station Reactor". Since the "Station Reactor" text exists in both reactors, it will control both.

Hello I like this script but i am not certain where to write the second reactor name (and third fourth... my ships are powerhouses). You only provide one String, and i am not certain how you seperate internally, given as it can be spaces. Thank you in advance.

Is there a change for an updated version for the latest major update? I mean a version without the need for a timer block.

I like this script, but it is lacking one major consideration. If the battery output is not powerful enough to power the station, the reactors should be turned on again, regardless of battery capacity. I would like it to be such that when the battery output is greater than 90% of its max power, it turns on the reactors.

Ok I understand, thank you :)

I omitted the LCD info about the reactors since more than 1 reactor's detailed info doesn't fit on 1 lcd display. I'll get reactor info back on the LCD part later. Maybe i'll just do 1 line per controlled reactor or something. For now, it works.

It can control multiple reactors, but the LCD doesn't show any info about them.
Did I make a mistake somewhere?

Ok it's updated now to support multiple reactors

Just got back from vacation. Should be easy enough.

Hello! Really useful script! But it can manage only 1 reactor. If I use 2 reactors, with same name, the script only controls one of them.
Can you improve your script?
