Description:

Makes electrical machines use low power (1 watt or user defined) when not in use. Works with many electrical machines from other mods.

To make things not so easy automatically turned off machines use 2 times the power by default. You can change these settings to your preference.

However, please note that due to the way Rimworld works, if your base keeps wavering between a small amount of power and no power, pawns may go back and forth to a station, trying to use it when the power comes back on, then leaving when the power flickers back off.

Fully save compatible. Can be added or removed at any time. Please report any errors.

Works with

Crafting benches
Drills

sleep accelerator, biosculptor has its own on/off mechanic so they are ignored as well
