Simple Battery Management

The Script aims to use Batteries as an energy backup, and enable them if the usage of the ship/station exceeds the power installed in reactor and solar panels. So the batteries will try to cover always the peak power demands of your ship.

It enables the batteries to discharge only when you have a peak demand of power. Meaning the batteries act as a backup to cover any extra power needs you may have that cannot be fullfilled by either solar panels or reactors.

In the same manner the batteries will only be charged when the reactor and solar panels are not at full capacity and they have excess energy to spare.

Tested using a timer set to 3 second with good result, needs to be iterated using a timer. As for now 1 second is too short for it to work, 2 seconds work sometimes but flickers a bit.

Please keep in mind enough power to run the Timer Block and the Programmable block is required for this script to function.

Script does not count unfinished reactors (tested) or reactors being hacked (tested) when calculating current max power grid.

ISSUE:
Currently there are some issues with things not activating cause not enough power, and power drain not put on reactors... so according to the script there is enough power, when in reality there is not.

Main way used to combat this is by randomly toggling off charging on batteries to see if things improve. If it does, then all batteries gonna stop recharging next turn. This behaviour can be turned off by commenting one line in Main. Second way is to modifying the parameters. Parameters can be found in Main (bottom of script), default values will not modify any thing.

The script does not check if there is uranium in the reactor. It's a bit tricky to solve cause in creative mode reactors doesn't need uranium. For now, make sure reactors without uranium are disabled when playing in survival.


If you're having issues with the script, or just suggestions/ideas, please let me know. /Stiggan
