Good stuff, Good for environment
Save the earth

@Thom Blair III Thanks, as it happens I confused this mod (Turn It On and Off v1.3 [1.0]) with Turn It On and Off. Thanks for your time.

@Smitty_the_smith This mod 1.0 mod isn't be updated by us anymore. If you want more up-to-date possibilities, try ones in the comments below. Good luck

Made version that combines this with the functionality of the RePower-mod and also includes settings for the default-powerdraw of in use-buildnings.

Hope it helps anyone!

1.2?

@Sandvich Dispenser Fluffy did the majority of the new programming, and Texel made the original mod that I/we modified to be this mod. If you need help contacting Fluffy, please email me at thomwblair@gmail.com

@Sandvich Dispenser As far as I'm concerned, please feel free to take over the mod, do with it as you see fit. Good luck.

Hey devs, can you tell us if you intend to update this, or should someone else take over it?
@Xen @Texel @Thom Blair III

Damn Mlie didn't update this one yet lmao

There is a 1.1 version at https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2007163386

1.1 update?

this mod is need for 1.1 please add

Please update for 1.1! I get the 'recovered from incompatible or corrupted mod' error with just HugsLib and this loaded.

@サラ Oops, it's not a simple fix. I don't know how to fix that kind of stuff. I don't really feel like figuring it out all over again. Maybe somebody else will. Do you know how to fix it?

@サラ I'll check and see what is needed...thanks

Update 1.1 ?

Being using this mod for a while. It works great, even with all of my mods loaded with custom machines.

I did have a small list of things that it doesn't idle for: Unused Clone vats (from Genetic Rim), the Droid Fabs and Android Printers (from Androids; though it goes down to 10% power), and Devastator Mortars (from Vanilla Turrets). Are those fixable in a dynamic way, or would you be able to put in some sort of exception for those?

Works great with over 100 mods for me. Some devices do not turn off, but it's okay, what's important is that no devices consume 1 watt while working.

@WingedWolf9232 No problem. I hope you enjoy the mod. :)

Thank YOU for mentioning, I was afraid you would take it as a personal attack :S

@WingedWolf9232 This is not a bug, it is simply the way Rimworld works when pawns deal with low level fluctuating power. However, I will mention it. Thank you.

@Thom Blair III I think you should disclosure the known bugs in the description of this mod; sometimes (long mod lists) it can be hard and take some time to identify which mod is causing certain issues in the game.

@J’ee Yes, I think I know what you’re talking about. It was a problem no one could figure out how to get around. It’s due to the way pawns act in response to low power. We couldn’t figure out a way to compensate for that, but we hoped it would be an infrequent enough experience that people wouldn’t have too many problems with it.

Good mod. However, there is a problem with the use of the Electric Smithy in erratic low power situations, such as before batteries are researched and you're using wind power. The Electric Smithy, unlike say the Smelter, gets set to 0 watts despite the mod description, so it's fully "on" when there's not enough power to run it. This causes pawns to go back and forth repeatedly trying to do a job they can't do until the power normalizes.

Thanks for the mod Tom.

I wanted to report a small compatibility issue with Hospitality Mod. When a visiting pawn is helping, they can use a building but the power stays at 1W while they use it.
(Some might call that a feature but not me! lol)

Example: The visting pawn is helping research and the Adv. Research Bench is still only using 1W of power.

Could you make it work with industrial roller mod?

Hi, Great mod! I'm surprised it isn't incorporated into the vanilla game... I've encountered a compatibility bug when used with the furnace mod, the furnace only ever uses 1w, it never uses 1000w like its supposed to.

Thanks a lot man this is exactly what I was looking for

I don’t know.

Is it possible to use multiplier then fixed amount of 1w?
Like 10% when idle

oh well. but i'm still very thankful i couldn't do it myself.

@Milenier I agree, it’d be neat to have user defined settings, but unfortunately, that’s much too advanced for my low level programming skills. I’m sorry.

could i ask for some mod options? i think that this mod is way too good making living much easier. i would wan't to choose myself how much machine should use power when not used because 1 watt is just too little

just a heads up but the AI Manager from the Manager mod by Fluffy always uses the 1w power usage, even when it's technically supposed to be doing the "manager calculations" on its schedule.

Thank you! 😀

@Thom Blair III
For some reason, every time I click on that link I get Steam's "Link Blocked" message.
I think it's because of the "http://(" that you don't need at all.
Here's a link that works: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=726121441

@Natalo77 Someone said this mod http://(https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=726121441 “Furnace” wasn’t working with mine, but that might have changed. I’m not sure.

Any hard incompatabilites?

turns off vitals monitors and does not turn on.

@sparkle I don’t know, I’ve never tried it. Sorry.

Does this work with the showers from Dubs Bad Hygiene?

eh it is ok, i have so many mods, lol

@ChromePlate @Zapp Brannigan @Oh God Spiders No - Hi! I'm sorry you are having problems with the mod, but I can't recreate the problem. When I use only this mod and no other mods, the heaters and air conditioners work properly.

@Oh God Spiders No - Unfortunately, I don't know how to alter the code for things like that. Texel and some other people did all that coding.

Can you work with the creator of 'Furnace' (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=726121441) to make them a bit more compatible? It's supposed to run at something like 1000 Watts but your mod sets it to 1. It doesn't do this with A/C and Space Heaters so there's probably something unusual about how the Furnace describes its 'active' and 'passive' power consumption.

I had the same issue with temp in general, all heaters, coolers, and vents from redist heat, say they are working but fail to heat or cool the room.

sadly seems my heaters stopped working right, may be a conflict with the multitude of other mods i have.

No worries! Thanks for the mod anyway. This is a great vanilla-friendly addition. Like I said, I just want to make things harder for myself while also using this :P

@AmbiguousMonk I don’t know of any way to customize the power usage. Sorry.

That would be so awesome if we could get customization options, but I'm definitely still using this mod either way. Do you know of any way/mod I could increase the power cost of electrical machines while they *are* in sure, without impacting the effects of this mod?
