Refinery Power Control

In-Game Script for Programmable Block
UPDATE: Minor fix of my n00b code, added exclusion for batteries that are switched off.

Like Renewable Energy, but dont like running out of power due to your refineries left on chugging away at your ores when you are not around? Then this is for you :)

This low impact simple script monitors battery levels of all batteries on the same grid as this script is running on, and turns refineries off when each battery on the grid gets below a certain level. It continues to monitor battery levels and then switches refineries back on when each battery on the grid goes above a certain level (both values set at the top of the script).

Batteries that are switched off when the script is compiled/first run, will be ignored, this allows the inclusion of emergency batteries on the grid, that will not be monitored by this script.

I personally dont have my Assemblers running for that long, its always my refineries that pose a risk to the power, so i did not add it to the script, but i plan to later on for a separate script.

aimed at use on servers where your stuff is left running live.
