XPAR Frey: Charge Batteries Smartly

Description
Frey charges batteries. Usually those of docked ships or torpedos. Frey can fire off timers when batteries reach specific levels of charge, making it a good way to fire off battery-powered torpedos.

Sample world with battery-powered ships, cooperation with Freya, and torpedo boat here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=460744601

Frey is a cut-back version of Freya with just a little bit of functionality. Install and use in the same way as Freya: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=445817025

Please note that batteries switch over from charge to output VERY SLOWLY, typically taking almost half a second. This is not something I can do anything about.

Frey is compatible with the newest builds.

I doubt it.

Just checking if this script still works. Guessing not but maybe it is.

A change I'm sure anyone who's ever had to chase a gravity drive because they forgot to turn off the masses before placing new generators will appreciate. But also a more realistic approach to building stuff.

Troublesome for getting scripts started though i'm sure. In fact I'm probably gonna have to put a startup timer on my drone if what you said is accurate. Doesn't hurt to have an initialization timer though

Hm. Right now I'm fighting with a change to Space Engineers that starts everything turned off.

it's particularly importantt o maintain constant power in the case of autonomous drones, a interuption can leave them sitting there with no idea what to do, bottlenecking your productivity
Animal 20 Jun, 2015 @ 10:16pm 
maintaining power in the even that the programmable block is on the drone rather than the base

I used to have that, but I wasn't sure what it would ever be used for.

suggestion, option to activate the timer AFTER switching batteries to discharge

Souper07: Yes, but only if the ship has any power at all when you undock. In general, the easiest solution is to have a "power on" group that turns the batteries off of recharge. This is especially true because Frey can't always tell when a battery has disconnected, and will telepathically turn them back to recharge once.

Works great. If i install Freya on my drone, will it automaticly turn recharge mode off when I undock?
