Ability Station with cable and capacitors

Electricity is needed for many objects in your prison and is provided by the Ability Station. You will likewise need Capacitors to provide enough energy. The power station shows yous the actual workload, if the bar reaches the top, the OCP volition shut off the power station. You will need to re-activate the power station to enable power once more. Click on Utilities mode, when you wish to edit the power grid. To increase power output y'all can add together capacitors on every adjacent field around the Ability Station. It is even possible to add together the corners first without connecting them with an Electrical Cablevision.

Information technology's but needed to identify the Electrical Cable in range of 15 tiles to lights. They will be automatically connected to the master cable. The smaller cables added for you lot tin't pass through walls, and then you may need to identify the cable closer when building Cells. At that place is no limit to the length that Electrical Cablevision be powered with a single Power Station. The limitation is purely the load on the Power Station caused by hooking powered objects to the grid.

At some indicate, your prison house may grow beyond the ability of a single ability station to provide power. In this instance, y'all cannot add a second power station to the existing grid; yous must instead intermission the grid into two parts and install a second power station. If yous connect more than one power station to your electrical grid, information technology will cause the OCP to trigger, shutting downwardly both stations.

When starting a new sandbox game, your delivery zone will already comprise a prepaid Water Pump Station, Power Station and a Capacitor among other items, so no demand to hold you dorsum placing them in order to salve money.

Power stations produce a lot of heat which may cause the prisoners nearby to overheat (see Temperature).

Electricity usage [edit | edit source]

i bar is equal to one capacitor or a ability station without any capacitors.

Low usage (1/50 bar)		Moderate usage (1/five bar)		High usage (1/two bar)		Very High usage (i bar)
	Lite CCTV Photographic camera Telly Radio Servo		Metal Detector Laundry Auto Workshop Saw Workshop Press Cooker Refrigerator CCTV Monitor Door Control System Door Timer Phone Tap		Water Pump Station		Electric Chair

Ability Station Fire [edit | edit source]

The Power Station will explode and beginning a massive fire if it encounters water, which may exist coming out of Shower Heads, Sprinklers, Firemen'south hoses or flare-up Pipes. If weather is activated, there also may be floods due to torrential rain. Use drains or walls to prevent water flooding the surface area where your Power Station is located.

If the Events pick is used, power stations may as well grab fire or even explode at random, without the demand of touching water. Yet, they need to be on a high load for this, they volition not catch fire if the capacity is barely used.
