VIDEO UPDATE - I mistakenly wired the memory cell in the battery backup section using the "toggle" input instead of the "reset input." You'll want to use the "reset" input! Thank you to everyone who brought this to my attention!
i have a question, coming from someone who plays on pve servers, could i use this to control a multicircuit system, eg i am running a big (tiny compared to others on my server) hemp farm right now i just combine all my power source 800w(peaks to 1600w during midday time due to east/west config of solars) into splitters to feed 6 batteriesand run multi circuits off them (source into cobiners then split to 6 large batts, 6 lrg batts run 6 different systems 2 of which are heaters at nearly 99w each)
Hey man, I noticed you did not put the second input to the toggle of the mem cell. If I am recalling your prior video correct didn't you say that was preferable?
What is the smartest to do if you have like 6 or 7 turbines with the same amount batterys? Better to do 6 or 7 apart circuits or.. what is the smartest and 'safest' ?
Not a bad question at all! Circuit location really depends on how important it is (i.e. deep if running defenses, less so if just running some lights). Personally, I always place ALL my electrical circuits in the core with the TC, or sometimes, hidden in a bunker that's not likely in the path of a raider. Hope that helps!
This is great, but I'm trying to improve it. I tend to have many things that aren't drawing constant power. (Lights during the day, Farm heaters and lights while not in operation, turrets or lights connected to heartbeat sensors, etc) With this system, I'm using the max potential rW while on root power and battery charging is less efficient. I'd love to find a way to divert all of the extra power to the batteries without having to change it manually.
Interesting! You'd like to, say, shut off your farm and have that power auto-divert to the battery until it's needed again in addition to the Nih Core return? You've peaked my interest. I have some ideas.
I think I figured it out. That extra "power out" on the electrical branch from your battery can be used to power intermittent devices directly from the battery. Just set the rest of the system up to power the constant devices. When it isn't in use, the active usage is 0. Is there a better solution?
Thank you for this. Not only for the instruction on how to make it. But why it works the way it does. This video changed my whole wipe! I am in a group of 6 and we kept running our power out at night with all our stuff. Now with this and a large battery. We are solid!
Great vid! Really looking forward for the updated factory. Now that the RF components do not require tech trash it should be way more viable to go for the wireless alternative.
Question: On the NIH core, you use OR switches and it will pick either A or B. Could it be made with AND switch instead? Right now when it fails, it diverts what power you are still generating (ie 100) to the battery, and then extracts that out again. I am wondering if there is a way to prioritize so it continues to use the 100 from the root and then the battery just adds in the extra power that is needed. EDIT: Nevermind, I ran thru creative and saw that AND switch didnt work as I expected. Also there doesn't seem to be any way to merge power other than a root combiner and that needs direct source and not from a switch or such. PS. Loving this video, learned so much!
Question, say the batteries are run in parallel for an output of 200 but active usage is only 150, can a branch after the upper OR switch of the Nih core be used to reroute the extra 50 back in the the batteries through a root combiner between the Nih core and the batteries? The Nih core would be set to 200 in this situation.
To the rust Consol edition electricians the circuit will not work. His 2023 NIH Circuit will work for our current version of the game. ( th-cam.com/video/CrN1GDcUUl8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ogov-K9nb98OWMT1 ) The the reason it currently does not work is because we have constant usage, even if there is nothing hooked up to the branch. so the branch that the batteries connect to will drain at a rate of the branches input.
I wish I had checked the comments before now. I just wasted 4 hours replicating and trying to make it work. It did not work. I'm not knocking this creator, I'm sure most people are PC who watch this and it apparently works there. I will try the 2023 version tomorrow.
Awesome! You can definitely do that. Sometimes it's easier to simply run a Nih Core per battery with or without shared root power, especially now that the 2024 electrical update came out.
Why do you not like Parallel batteries? I like to do one per windmill. So 5 windmill system with 5 batteries all in parallel. One problem I run into is short/circuit max depth. Do you know what causes this. Sometimes it will happen around the 5/6th battery but I am doing it on one and it is on the 3rd using root combiners.
I’m having the same issue! It’s doesn’t work. The battery stays at 100 output as both a/b on top OR switch light up green till the battery runs dead. Let’s not mention every electrical component still takes 1 OP to power it
The problem for console is likely that the OR Switch doesn't behave like it does on PC. You'll need to wait for the update to come out, or, use the old version of the Nih Core
for the root power why do you not use the power out option on the branch instead of the branch option so you dont have to constantly fiddle with how much power you're sending out? Im sure theres a reason and im just missing it
I still don't know why you would use this newer version of the Nih core, the old one using a blocker still works and requires less components. What advantages does the new one have?
Because with the old setup if you switched to the battery power you will use the full battery power. In the new setup you won't. But yeah the old setup still works fine
I explained it under your comment on the previous video. You are refering to a Or/Block setup, and it is arguably worse than just running root power straight to battery unless you overcompensate on root power.
@@AustinKlailaGames Hey mate. Strange, I follow all your videos and this doesn't seem to work, with 500+ power and 300~ usage, 4 batteries. I've rechecked this twice, am I missing something?
@@QuimDosChurros I was having issues with mine and realized I had stupidly set the branch going to the memory cell to 1, so the battery was always discharging even when the root power was enough.
No hate but i dont like ur nih core it only does 1 battery and cant do more than that so that would mean if u have 4 battery's u need 4 nih cores wich is a waste

I was about to comment something similar, glad you already pointed it out
Very in depth and thorough! Well done :D
Thanks! Hilariously didn't notice I wired one of the memory cells incorrectly lol
great video, super in depth :)
Thanks!
Austin this so badass in all the steps as always
Thank you!
The exact video I needed. Thank you so much!
Hey man, I noticed you did not put the second input to the toggle of the mem cell. If I am recalling your prior video correct didn't you say that was preferable?
Yep, that was a mistake. I built that one before I realized the issue and made the update fix video. I forgot to fix it before making this video.
What is the smartest to do if you have like 6 or 7 turbines with the same amount batterys? Better to do 6 or 7 apart circuits or.. what is the smartest and 'safest' ?
Best instructions thank you
Imaybe it’s very bad question but where should I place the Nih core? Next to the batery or in the core?

So I managed to do the exact same thing using ONLY a OR switch and E branch. Add another E branch & root combiner for 2 batteries.

Right now when it fails, it diverts what power you are still generating (ie 100) to the battery, and then extracts that out again.

The Nih core would be set to 200 in this situation.
Did you figure out if you can?
I used a splitter vs a branch for charging, that way both will get equal charge amount.

I don't even play rust, but very interesting.
I cant wait to understand wth your talking about 😅❤
You'll get there! And I'm always happy to help
I appreciate this! If you have two batteries, do you just split the source and do two of these?

This isn’t working on console. No matter what setting I use it eats battery power.

branch out to configure active usage. excess power is routed through the power out socket to charge the battery
I still don't know why you would use this newer version of the Nih core, the old one using a blocker still works and requires less components. What advantages does the new one have?

Batteries in parallel is probably better when you don't have a large battery yet
True!
what is a nih core?
What's going on with the second Nih core? You didn't have the memory cell wired to the reset.
It is wired to the reset. I might just look weird because of the counters
same question here
@@AustinKlailaGames sorry i was talking about the section of the battery backup setup wasn't on reset
LOL WHOOPS. Yeah that's a mistake
@@AustinKlailaGames its ok 🤗 at least you let us know. Great explanation man really appreciated 👍🏽
Doesn't work with 4 batteries in parallel?
You could certainly do 4 batteries in parallel if you wanted. You would just need to expand what I did for the 2 batteries in parallel

You can set up a single Nih Core on multiple batteries if you prefer, only the amount to root power changes.
