still works, but as far as I can tell it seems to cause visual glitches with pop up things in game.

we need a mod that can let 2 grids run at the same wires

Cool mod, does this still work?

Saved me endless problems every once in a while, Thank you!

It can be fun if the system was able to combine the power from both sides.
Might just a wish that the system can't do, but you can hope :-)

So this mod makes it to where both power generators can work even when their wires are connected which would normally screw them up resulting in a shut down, right? Or did I not understand what the mod basically does?

The station coupled to P1 should hold 1 capacitor less than P2, like the images show.

Umm it's said that p2 adds more power due to more capacitors, but for me p1 does.

Sure, no problem.

See image 1.

Does this let you Use 2 at a time or warns you when 1 generator is almost maxxed?

You've answered your own question.
If you need more power on one grid, then consider using a massive power station like:

Hi, thanks for the mod. For two power stations it works fine but what if I need more power?
I can't put two more power stations on the same circuit because it collapses.
How would you do that?
What I've done is to completely separate the power wires from one part of the prison and connect the two new power stations and it works fine. I wonder if there's a better method.

电路隔离器用于为您的监狱创建冗余电源。将其与启用的事件一起处理电源故障。

它还可用作预警系统,以指示发电站何时达到其极限。只需在主电站上少放 1 个电容器,当它因过载而关闭时,您就会知道何时需要开始建设额外的发电站。同时,电力将由稍强大的辅助站处理。

这是一个完全重写的版本,由茄热18的旧电路隔离器模组。设置起来比旧模组更容易:不需要门计时器和布线,只需将其放置在两个发电站之间,绘制一条电线,即可出发。附带自定义报表窗口,只需单击对象即可了解如何放置电缆。

新的电路隔离器具有更快的响应时间,在发生此类事件时将停电时间降至最低。

如果你喜欢这个mod,请不要忘记按"喜欢"按钮。
随意检查我的车间与吨方便的模组!

Quite possible the most handy mod around

While the old mod is genius it has its flaws: it relies on wired stuff, thus introducing a delay where you don't want it. The old mod needs more time to 'see' that the primary power is off, then makes a mistake by first shutting down both lines, waiting again and then opening the secondary circuit.

This new version checks power status via a metal detector. Any high powered object would do, but I took this one since the sprite is small. When the power is down, it's safe to pull the switch for the baclup power immediately - no need to wait for rerouting etc. The power grid will be offline for a very short period before the backup line has taken over. When the primary line goes up again and the isolater switches back, I don't even see the lights go out in the prison, very neat!

Bravo, sir! Look forward to trying it out, but it looks like a great improvement over aubergine18's original mod. Much simpler to implement.
murgh  [author] 26 Jan, 2020 @ 1:53pm 
I really wonder why you guys think this mod offers unlimited power?
Such is nowhere mentioned in the description, and the screenshots show power switches keeping cables separate, no? If it would offer combined power from multiple sources, then it would be called a circuit combiner, not a circuit isolator... :winter2019happybulb:
murgh  [author] 26 Jan, 2020 @ 1:10pm 
Did you even bother to read the answer to this question right below your post? lol
floofy 26 Jan, 2020 @ 12:23pm 
So unlimited power or just a back up power source when one goes down?
t1a2l 26 Jan, 2020 @ 4:08am 
Ok thanks
murgh  [author] 26 Jan, 2020 @ 2:23am 
Just place the setup shown above on a fresh map with cheats, turn on both power stations, then switch station 1 off / back on to see what it does.
murgh  [author] 26 Jan, 2020 @ 2:21am 
No, it creates a redundant power supply or UPS: if station 1 fails/explodes due to overload (one of the events), station 2 gets activated immediately. When station 1 has been repaired and turned on again, the isolator cuts the power to station 2 and continues to deliver power from station 1.
You can't stack powerstations output together to grab double the power from 2 stations.
t1a2l 26 Jan, 2020 @ 2:11am 
@murgh - Does this allow me to have more power from a different power station?
murgh  [author] 25 Jan, 2020 @ 4:14pm 
While it is tempting to cramp two power stations with a circuit isolator into a small utility room, it is advised to keep a few tiles distance between these objects. When a power station explodes during an event, it can damage surrounding tiles and objects, thus damaging the isolator as well.

Keep the circuit isolator away from water as with the power stations, it might explode.
