#rust #tutorial #rustelectricity
I am the electrician in my team (solo team tho) and I can't wait till you show some really crazy cicuits literally no one knows about. I really look forward to boost my knowledge and make my bases even smarter.
Finally a proper BCN Core guide! I see absolutely no reason to ever go back to the classic Nih Core.
My man
fr tho i never see any BCN Core guide's on yt cant wait for @hyperionrust to make more videos
these type of videos have always looked INSANE to me before now but you did this so elegantly i could probably use this in a real wipe so tysm
It's great to see the more advanced and lesser known circuits get some screen time!
Don't really understand it all, but I bookmarked the video and will be using it every wipe, lol
Could you tell me what more would you need to know about it? Just for the sole purpose of making it better
@@HyperionRust I just dont really understand the green and blue things, therefore the circuit. Maybe a little part where you follow the wires and tell us what they are doing? If that is easy
Yes please. I am really interested in rust electrics, and have successfully put together pretty fundamentally basic but very large circuit boards to power bases.
I would love more info on how the memory cell and blocker elements are contributing towards this more resilient circuit.
@@gaiagaiagaiagaiagaiasecond this! So many TH-cam videos and circuits that show you how to do something, and anyone can copy paste a circuit, but fundamentally comprehending why each moving piece is in it helps substantially
@HyperionRust I agree with what the others are saying. I strive to be an electrician in rust and take in everything I can. I would love to utilize this setup, but it makes no sense to me just looking at it. I would suggest, like the other person said, a more in depth video explaining the circuit routing and why. I know in the video you said you wouldn't bore us with that, but I would absolutely love to be bored out of my mind in this context hahahahahaah.
im so glad i got reccomended this. as a base bitch and the "turret connector" I can finally say I can upgrade the base
All the power to base bitches !!!
@@HyperionRust lol
Amazing Circuit. Can you go into further details though? like explain how and where everything goes?
+1. As Well as the rotating vendys for clans to show off like you mentioned
I've been doing bypasses forever. I admit my design is less smart (engages batteries and source in mid config) but it also is simpler and cheaper. I found that it wasn't so bad because the batteries will last plenty long enough.
I think you're my new favorite rust follow
You've earned my like & sub! I'd rather spend hours on a base & doing electrics etc than roaming over and over again 😂
You can always use OR switches to hook batteries from different places for back up batteries . That's all I do . I like using memory cells to activate turrets because they can't hear the turrets until they break the chain of cells . I put them on every wall door frame and hook alarms also .
ofc you can, but that is not really efficient
I´ll just stick to normal battery electricity because when the enemy breaks the battery and turrets don´t go off, they just start shooting electrical components then. And yes, you can hide the components but you can also hide the battery as well.
All up to you :-) i am not forcing anyone
Components such as branches, combines, blockers ect should be placed in separate areas from the battery. They are small and easy to hide. Dont put everything in one room.
Lol that's why I use memory cells to block power until they are destroyed . It's impossible to raid without breaking them when they are in the way . People just think you left inner bases power off then bam caught off guard wishing you had destroyed the turrets .
@@HyperionRusti think its better to make many curcuits with many batteries and many switches. I use gaterooms with 3 turrets ,so its better to use 4 different batteries in each gateroom and one in base
@@ТимофійКалиновський again this is a question of centralized vs decentralized circuits :-)
I don’t quite understand the circuit but I want to. I’d like to see a video on how to set this up. I only use switches, branch, root combiners. Thanks for the content I’m gonna get lost on my next build.
Its much more complex, but i do plan to release one by one videos about the circuits i use. Stay tuned
I dont reallly understand whats going on with the electricty but i really think its usefull because many times my battery has been raided and its ggs
Im ur 1k sub hype, congrats on hitting a big milestone ❤❤
Thanks mate
Ill get a tatto ( from a bubble gum ) to celebrate it
you're crazy dude, the only thing I understood was: "Huge power efficiency!!' xD
Hey man, Can you put more emphasis on the fundamentals of the BCNcore circuit like why what goes where and what its purpose is in the circuit as this would help people get a deeper understanding which will allow them to apply this knowledge across the board. Why is the root battery power branching out to a blocker which blocks itself, and from that same blocker it goes out to an OR switch which is connected to the SET 1 on the memory cell. Why is SET 0 always powered by the battery, whats the purpose? Battery always seems to be connected to the main OR switch, and Mains power either loops back to charge the battery or goes to the main OR switch, what decides whether the OR switch uses Mains or Battery? Would you be able to do a more in depth video? thanks!
Exactly what I was thinking.
i dont understand the circut but i was able to build it only that i cant figure out what it maxes out at on power do i need to build another entire circut for more batteries and turbines???
@@JakeBassmaster you can do both. The maximum is about 16 turbines and 16 batteries if you do the wiring perfectly
keep it up man, loove it
The best rust electrician
so if i have 3x wind turbines i should do this 3x times? and is 4 auto turrets max for 1 wind turbine? shouldnt it be like 8-9?
Yo. No you only need 1 and you can combine all 3 wind turbines into 1 line. I was showing just an example. The amount of turrets you can power and sustain depends on the amount of power which you are generating. 1 wind turbine does give different amount of power in different scenarios, heights and wind obstruction. If you have enough power reneration you can have 100 turrets on this circuit.
@@HyperionRust Does it hit a hardcoded limit at 100 turrets? IE only 1,000 rw can be on a single line?
@@Koubles no, you can have millions of power in a single line. That was just example. You are only limited by the amount of power you can generate and depth of connection when combining power with root combiners
Probably need better explanation on what comps and what it goes to to build it but not bad, I can't wait to see how you do the auto turrets with minimal electricity. BTW does the turret trick work with the latest update only allowing 12 to bypass this?
Would you mind telling me what wasnt clear from the video? I did try to keep it as short as possible but if i have skipped some important info ( which is maybe clear in my head but not everyone can see it ) i would love to hear your input.
Regarding the turrets, you CANT bypass the 12 turret limit in 40m radius of each other. Its a flip/flop system and if was made as a reaction to the 12 turret limitation in the first place.
@@HyperionRustnothing is clear. I can copy and paste on a wall and it works but I don’t understand why it works. Why does the memory cell power to set and reset? What is the blocker doing that makes this whole setup work. I’m lost.
But if your core/electricity room gets boomed, you lose all power, right? I usually use 2-3 batteries, which are far apart (e.g. in externals), where they each supply power to their own turrets. That way, even if one battery gets boomed, some turrets stay active. Maybe I just need to have my electricity room out of the normal raid path.
Well the electricity room dosnt need to be in core. And thats question of centralized vs decentralized
Best/brilliant circuit it is or may it be 😁
but
for the TH-cam grind, make a video about a time delay! (xor/blocker solution whatever is preferred) with some cool examples ..
it is the logic element witch opens the possibility of Rust Electricity e.g. traps of all kinds, games, advanced automation, alarm, fun stuff and so on ..
Have fun collecting subscribers ☺ There is so much YT potential lying fallow and not many have tried to recover the treasure underneath ..
Trying to wrap my head around this...your circuit (by name and by playing around in rustrician) differs from NiH core in that it addresses these two conditions happening at the same time:
1) Power generation is under the first branch threshold
2) All batteries are disconnected/destroyed (or, at least, there aren't enough batteries for the required threshold)
With your circuit, if these two conditions are met, then you'd still have power generation directly powering the circuit...while in the classic NiH, those rW being generated would still get sent (for example) to splitters that aren't even connected to batteries anymore?
Yes. BCN core is upgraded nih core. As you said it adresses the condition where if you fall under the firat branch power generation number normal nih core swaps to batteries, but if there are no batteries or not enough power comming from the batteries, regular nih core wont swap back to root powet. BCN core will always pick the higher output ( root or batteries ) if both got hindered.
@@HyperionRust thats sick. I wonder why NiH/Swift havent incorporated that onto the handbook - its a pretty neat trick!
Thanks btw very clear and quick to reply as always - you've helped me on a lot of my Rustrician discord quick questions ;)
@@gahbor it actually is in the handbook
I just give every turret (there are not many of them) its' own small battery as a UPS.
The only issue that I have with this is that it assumes that people can get to your battery very easily, batteries are usually hidden away from TC which means that more boom has to be used in order to shut down the circuitry. By that time most turrets have already been shot down. Im not sure if this is worth it.
I think there are more efficient designs, i think if you have a singlw one root combiner it will always drain the windmill input first , which you can also loop back and do an input on battery, which costs like two signal combiners, does the same thing as your cirquit.
Honestly you used solid game electricity logic, but , this is rust 😅, you cut corners
i terms of cutting corners sure, but it dosnt do even close enough to what this circuit does. TBH this is one of the more simple circuits that i use.
idk how the yt alorythm works but maybe you could make unliked videos w longer format in descriptoins?
Im kinda confused by your suggestion
@@HyperionRust I think he means a more indepth video that is *unlisted* so it doesn't affect the algorithms suggesting your videos
@@KhaZacs Well there aint a reason to unlist a video if its gonna be good in the first place. But ill note that more details would be good
@@KhaZacs yes you're right, from his other comments it looks like he's trying to keep it dense and short
Dont u just put the electrical components next to the battery anyway? If raiders break those the turrets are also fucked right? Either way, there's always a weakness
Also if they hit that circuit EVERY turret is fucked, with inlines you can spread out circuits so they have to hit 4 or more spots in base to get all turrets offline.
You NEVER put the core next to the battery, that would render it useless. Its one of the biggest mistakes that people make - putting electrical components right next to the battery. And yes there is always a weakness all though ... in reality 99% of players have no clue about electricity, they just know to break batteries + the power core is much more simple to hide or made more secure than giant batteries. But yes, you are right ( kinda, there are ways around this too )
Valid point but thats kinda question of centralized vs decentralized. You could use this core for each battery solo and hide it deeper inside your base or in bunker, that way if you lose battery its still good to go. Anyway for decentralizing i would use The Kore instead of this anyway, but almost never just an regular inline.
But all this is just my personal experience 🙂
@HyperionRust I agree that most players don't know about electricity, but in a raid especially online, if any raider sees a group of electrical components it is going to catch a rocket lmao. Also do u have a rustrician for the Kore u mentioned?
The Kore is just a simple battery destruction detection. That swaps to a root cource if battery is lost. Else it works the same as inline ( it has the 80% efficiency ).
Im on phone now, but you could probably just google it. Its 1 memory cell, 1 OR switch and 2 branches, thats it
Yes and what happens when they break the wall with the circuit… and why would t I just put my battery there and not waste my time lol
@@shelladdition then ofcourse it breaks. All though it is much more effective to hide this single circuit than multiple batteries ( which can now even be used as a bait for raiders to waste some boom )
Fire guide ty
What is the point of battery checking?
@@volcan290 to prevent losing power in case that root source gets hindered and then batteries take also a hit or get completely destroyed. Battery checking allows the core to swap back to root power from batteries if root power if higher than battery power but none of those two would meet your circuits demand
I m begging man, please make a good autosmelter witj electric furnaces🙏
Yeah now you got a ton of extra shit that when broken fucks the circuit.
Anyone else find it impossible to explain to a non-Rustrician player why these cores are better than inline?
Like no matter how many times i show them or explain theyre set on their 4 windmills and a switch on the 3rd floor.
🤣 TRUE AND REAL
Your circut is just too complex.
1) Put all powersource daisychain
2) branch exactly enough to feed all your devices.
3) load leftovers to 3 batteries through splitters.
4) combine battery output with brunch from powersource.
Thats sounds fine on paper but in realistic settings would not work.
1. wind speed is unpredictable so you are not always getting enough to your circuits just through the source alone
2. if you lose some of your wind turbines or wind speed drops and start using batteries, all the power generated from the remaining turbines will get wasted
3. if you run out of battery power or your batteries get broken, the power still generated from wind turbines will still be useless
4. you cant combine battery output with source power with branch ... ( need OR switch for that )
BCN Core counts with all those options, yes it is complex, but it just does much more than what you described.
@@HyperionRust actually you are right. Branch just cannot be connected to combiner, while splitter can. It will be harder actually to make it work.
so for more than 2 batteries and wind turbines do you just chain the combiners like normal?
Yes you chain then like a tree ( not a daisy chain )
well this is useless for me i play bountys 5x
Continue and get better mic ❤
Great video but I’m slightly confused about how to actually set it up. Could you do a video where you set up the BCN core from start to finish. That way we can see where you’re connecting the wires to and which inputs/outputs etc. great video though! Also maybe make a follow up on how to use multiple windmills and turrets under this setup
Some of these circuits are really neat, but the bcn core wiring is just as vulnerable as the battery (maybe more so). If that wiring is destroyed it's basically the same as the battery being destroyed in a classic setup. Everything goes dead. If we have such a great secure spot for this wiring, why not just place the battery there and go classic setup?
Much more simple to find secure spot for 1 BCN core than 6+ batteries :-)
My only issue is with the argument that "if you break the battery its gg, so use a core instead", well the same can be said for the core, break it and boom, its gone, same as a battery. Sure you can protect it, but just as much as you can protect a battery itself. In fact for smaller bases its better to split into separate rooms, each battery with its own core for the efficiency benefits, because a smaller base will get core'd out 9/10 times in a raid.
I do agree with the efficiency factors though.
There are ways around this issue, we can have an backup core in case the first one geta raided. But thats a lot more added complexity
This looks amazing, I am not that experienced in rust and would like to know more about each componet in this circuit... Is there anyone who would waste their time for me to explain the logic behind it?
Hi guys im not an electrician can you guys calculate for me. How many turrets can i run with this exactly setup, and what if i needed 10-12 turrets how i modify it
As many as you want. It depends on how much power generation and backup batteries you have hooked up to this circuit , thats the only limit
.
when I have the batteries into the root combiner my turrets turn off, but turn on when they arent plugged into root combiner. what did i do wrong?
make sure the second adjustable branch is set to the same number as the first one.
My brain Hurty
(in all seriousness this is a really neat way to keep things running without a battery, this will come in huge for my team)
Maybe color more cables and explain what wire where to connect, and what components you need , like how many and what sort of switches
I am new to complex rust electricity and I'm wondering if there is a difference between this nih core and the one on this video th-cam.com/video/eJCmG1M9q_4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RBUZP-OAYYog2I_q
BCN Core is upgraded version of Nih Core. In short: if you lose some batteries and some wind turbines in raid, the BCN core can determine which source to use ( root or batteries ) to provide the circuits with maximum amount of power.
I didn't understand but ya will try learn but the thing is if you can build the circuit and explain with building it more helpfull
what does the blocker do?
When my windmills doesnt generate set power my batteries doesnt get used to fuel the last power generated. how do i fix this?
@@Jontakinte you probably made a misstake while making the circuit. Please refear to the diagram linked in description
Where would u put all this components? Next to the battery? The rocket will break the circuit ether way.
That would obviously beat the purpose of this circuit. There are 2 main ways to determine where to put it. You a) put it in the most secure and tanky part of your base b) hide it where is the least likely to get raided
Watched this having minimal electrical ability and followed along like I knew what I was doing, awesome tutorial thanks for the video
so as far as I have figured this out your bcn core is 2 rWm more efficent than the normal nih core is that right ?
No. Its is like 0.001% less efficient than regular nih core. But thats the price to pay for additional security compared to nih core.
ur a goat 🫡
can u have more than 1 battery on one cicuits? if i have 2 batterys then thay use 20 power on both of them. is there a fix?
yes you can have multiple, the circuit is made for that. Check out the diagram linked in the description. Also if you go over 100 usage and have multiple batteries, the load on each battery can be more than 100 eventually.
this guy is really smart its gonna take me like 30 rewatches to understand this
Bro made a UPS
How many turrets can you have on this system and how could you add another battery that way you have 2 batteries
As many turrets as you need if you can meet the power demand. Check out the diagram in video description for an example with 2 turbines and batteries. If you want to add more its as simple as root combining more turbines and using splitters and then root combiners fore more batteries.
I play on console and it won’t let me set Electrical Branches below 2 power.
Sadly console isnt up to date with pc version of rust
I think I can just connect 12 Turrets with this setup, however when I copy this setup, the one that connects to the battery, root combiner says "Short Circuit / Max Depth". Do you think I am doing something wrong or any fix to this issue?
For sure thats a mistake somewhere in the circuit. You are looping power or the wire travels through more than 16 components from source to a root combiner, thats why you get that message.
@@HyperionRust Yep, re-did everything and now works perfectly fine, love the video man thx
Well, I'm not a chinese and also not in a clan so fortunately i don't have to memorize what this great video is about
I thought placing a root combiner behind a battery was bad practice and makes the battery output 100% and will likely drain it
also how do you power 4 turrets when outputting 40 watt? wont you need power for splitters and branches in between?
Hey
As of the big electricity update, logic components dont have any power consumption anymore. Regarding the root combined batteries that is still true, but in this circuit the battery power almost never gets used so it isnt a big deal.
@@HyperionRust ah fair enough my knowledge might be a little outdated then, ty
more guides please, how to automate a base, how to electricity your whole base tutorial and much more please
I love you.
Discord invite didn't work for me may need updating.
here is temporary link, all though the one in description still works for me
discord.gg/Sz6nK22g
The battery always delivers (uses) 100% of it's power, the active usage is just information at this point, it has been bugged likes this forever.
This is way too complicated. You can build a perfect circuit with just 1 OR switch, 2 branches and 1 blocker which will not only enable you to only use the battery when needed, it will also store all the excess power generated to charge the battery while still running your appliances. If the power generation is destroyed, you have 6 hours of battery power left (big battery filled up 100%), if the battery is destroyed your appliances still work if power generation is high enough.
It is not bugged :-) it works as it is supposed to.
And if you consider that a perfect circuit, sure go for it
@@HyperionRust That's not how a battery works, so I highly doubt that it's supposed to work like that. Especially since it's not explained anywhere.
EDIT: And they've called it a bug a couple of times and even claimed to have fixed it at least once.
@@TheBazino that is simply not true at all :-) if you want to know more, feel free to him me up on discord
No, no one was ever doing what your doing on the thumbnail...
An extremely large amount of people do, if you're not making a BCN core how else do you do turrets?
what would a decentralized circuit look like and would it be viable?
@@Saimishi yes it is 100% viable. Just build this for every battery you have. It will still give you better power efficiency than regular inline.
Going to use this to make sure my auto- crafting/smelting/depoting system doesnt go offline this was amazing, thank you!
How many Rust Watts can the BCN core output? Can I hook up 9 Turrets to it, just like a normal battery?
Since it's a circuit that let's you centralize all of your base power, there is no limit to how many rust watts it can output. I would recommend that you check out my schematic in the comment below this one as well
As much as you can provide it + its more efficient than regular inline. Check out diagram in the description so you can simulate yourself what settings would be the best for you. As vanilla goes, this setup is kinda limited to 16 power sources and 16 batteries because of mechanic called depth, but you probably dont need to worry about that until you run into it.
So maximum potential would be close to 1600rW but i would not suggest having no reserve anyway.
How can i add backup batterys in that system?
This is a battery backup
Viable setup for a solo? Im used to the normal Nih so it would take some time to learn and actually get into a position during wipe where i will need it
@@spookystuff2826 yes ofcourse. If you use the regular nih core, this is just few components more.
@@HyperionRust alright good to know👍
nih core sucks. just add more wind turbines.
I don't know if you take requests, but if you do, could create a delay circuit? I'm aiming to have a delay on Turret doors opening after being activated by a seismic sensor, so that they commit to a raid before getting mowed down.
here you go

@@HyperionRust thank you!
Please do a video maximising the turret output for total power
Do you think you can make a full guide for electric stuff? Please
Uh full guide for what electric stuff? Like all of it that in game in a single video? It would be like 3 days long then :D
Could be wrong but I think they mean to give a quick explanation of each electrical component and / or a basic example showing it in action. Also I can’t speak for everyone but certainly a large portion of your audience wouldn’t mind longer videos if that’s what you’re afraid of.
Anyways thanks for the videos and keep up the great work 👍
@@camjacko3238 i see your point. All though my initial idea was to try to make it as short as possible. I personally have when smth that can be told in few minutes drags to half an hour.
Im making myself a note that quick explanation of basiuc components would be a handy addition, thanks mate
You could explain (tutorial) how to connect this system you have shown us here, and how it could be expanded to use more windmills/turrets/batteries. I’m a beginner in the electrical stuff, so knowing this system could give me a huge advantage! Great job btw!
how do u get 25 from 100? 100 / 5 = 20 so 0.8 is 120
100/0.8=125 ... math
Battery has 80% efficiency on the amount of power you put into it, not on how much you discharge.
Is there anyway of connecting a switch?
Like where would you like a switch? You can have switches for any of your circuits, this is just a power distribution
bro how long did you learn this shit
@@Astron5693 hey

Yo bro you're blowing up! And you're not even at 1k subs!

But ill take that as a compliment, thanks :-)
@@HyperionRust it's great! I mostly live stream on here. I tried making long form videos but I was pretty bad at it. So now I just smoke bongs and stream. I'm slowly starting to get momentum haha
i love this set up the only thing wracking my brain is what's the purpose of the blocker?
The blocker is here to revert a signal that detects not enough power from batteries to meet circuits demand if power generation is also hindered at the same time. The blocker reverts missing signal into a present signal in the scenario of a power loss from both sources and as it unblocks the power, it swaps the main memory cell back into the main route so its runs at the same time as batteries and this way the OR switch picks the stronger signal ( root or batteries ) and sends it to your circuits to push through as much power as possible.
@@HyperionRustthis is the kind of explanations we need. I’m still having a hard time understand this.
@@duran1590 altight, thanks for the input
the clear problem with it "protecting" against power loss in raids, is that its very easy to just, you know, destroy the circuit. how are you going to protect the circuit? its even easier to destroy than a battery, and makes you also lose all power
Its best used for big bases, where you have multiple batteries. In that case is much more effective to hide/protect this circuit than large amount of batteries.
Also there are ways to double this circuit fo both of the have to be destroyed before you would lose power.
Great design, generally I just do the simple power source, battery and output, since it all fits into a single triangle. If I can't get 120% to keep the max 100 circuit up, then I got bigger problems long term.
Looking at your diagram it peeked my interest, played around a bit on the build site. Manage to shrink the imprint a little, it flips over between 102-103 power input.
Using the max 100 of the battery and 101 from the circuit input power to do this.
The circuit: 89657903f90c4bbe2e59ee18832a8b76
It is designed to work much better with multiple batteries and power sources. There are more simple way if you are fine with just 1 battery
EDIT: also your setup dosnt work if you want to discharge less than 100 and also would not work with multiple batteries
*OK, SINCE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BE WRONG, I'M GONNA EXPLAIN THIS WITH MATH:*
Large batteries are 80% efficient, so:
100 = 0.8x
____ ____
0.8 0.8
x = 125
You can permanently sustain a large battery at max output of 100 power with 125 power input. That's 10 turrets with 4.5 hours of charge if your windmill is destroyed. NO ONE needs more power than that, and you def don't need a complicated circuit.
Just a correction. At 100 discharge rate large battery lasts for 4 hours. All though your math is correct :-)
@@HyperionRust No, it's 4.5 hours....you can test this in-game yourself. There is a rounding error in your favor due to the calculation of active usage vs output (they are not the same btw) that gains you 30 mins of charge. That's why direct wiring is always better than loop setups, because you get a power profit, but with a loop you're foregoing the rounding error.
Set a windmill 10 foundation heights up, wire it to a combiner, wire the combiner to a large battery (yes, this is necessary and will leave an open combiner slot). Now wire your battery output to a switch and the switch output to a single branch (set to 10), wire the branches output to a splitter, and that splitter to 3 more splitters. All 10 power out ports now supply 10 power. This circuit has a rounding error in your favor that extends a max charged battery to 4.5 hours of residual charge if the windmill is destroyed.
@@blankspace178 I cant see any possible way for this to be truth or what could cause it to have less drain. No clue what you mean by residual charge. All though im interested, can you DM me on my discord?
PS: at wind turbine height 10 the battery will run dry
@@HyperionRust 1. The max benefit from a windmill comes at height level 12....there are literally a hundred videos explaining this concept, but you only need height level 10 to maintain 125+ power output 24/7.
2. The combiner takes and rounds measurements to the tenth, not to the one, place value, allowing you to create a rounding error down the line due to a floating place value rounding down.
3. "Residual power" just means the amount of charge retained by the battery over a given duration after the power supply is cut (windmill destroyed).
4. It doesn't have "less drain", you're creating a rounding error in the active usage calculation that cuts off a small portion of used power, allowing you to accumulate an extra ~30 mins of charge.
*Think of it like a Wall Street scam that steals fractions of a penny, over time it adds up.*
@@blankspace178 You are getting 123 average power at height 12. So you said 10 floors and thats not enough. It has to be 13 or higher to reach on average 125rW +
Well thats interesting, i will test it out. Thanks for the tip
I run something similar, however for my power out I run a primary / secondary line that way when I produce less power via windmill or battery back up the primary items draw power first (defense) secondary items will turn off first such as Lights, furnaces, sorter systems, etc. I'll even split my system up into smaller subsections where Windmills on the north side provide power to turrets on the south side and vise versa.
Sound interesting, would you mind sharing a diagram?
Where should I put the circuit? Usually it’s in the battery room?
That would beat the purpose of this circuit. I would say in the most secure part of the base/ or most hidden/ lowest chance that this part is gonna get raided. It is much more easy to hide and protect this circuit than multiple batteries
I would say this is overthinking cause its the same chance they find the room with the electric components as it is to find the battery. So with the old method you loose all power when they find your batetry and with the method from the video you loose all power when they find the room with all electric components. There is no reason to use this cause its just overcomplicating. Even tho i really liked how you explained everything, it was easy to follow
Well if you dont count the fact that this core is much more power efficient, then its a question of decentralized vs centralized electricity. I like centralized for bigger bases where you have multiple wind turbines and batteries. So unless they raid in the electricity room, no matter how many batteries they do break, everything is still gonna receive power.
Just my personal experience
@@HyperionRust i think Security>power effincency thats Why i think decentralizing power is key. If you get pummeld and have 1 room with power you just gonna loose all. Therefore i use different rooms for different windmils with 1 battery each. So i only use a Fragment of turrets per room. If i would use your method i will Loose all power as soon as they get 1 room
@@OsaftOle both have some pros and cons. I just prefer centralized + you can make centralized rooms on the oposite sides of base where both would need to get raided for the base to lose power. But ofc do what suits you the most :-)
Can you not just hqm seal the batteries into honeycomb ? I used this method years ago not sure if its patched now tho…
@@lynussss Sure you can, but then you cant get back to them if some of your connections break.
Just add a small bettery at each turret. Keeps them independent long enough during a raid.
Well that for turret yes , but it does add an additional point of failure in the chain + more power cost
Great video!
this video is awesome. hope you make more like it! So if I want to add another turbine to it. where does the turbine power get plugged into and go?
Right into the first root combiner in the bottom left, the more power sources you add, the bigger root combiner tree you have to make. Same goes for batteries, if you want to add more make splitter tree bigger.
my Nih Core! this is my favorite Nih Core in all of rust way better than BCN
BCN Core in upgraded version on Nih Core my friend
It's great circuit ,but are you spend of a lot scrap , mats and time for do this ?
Depends what is a lot to you. I can hook this up in 3 minutes so its not as big of a deal.
how can you power 4 turrets with only 3 branches ?
Branches have 2 outputs and since you connect them to the next one via power out you only need 3 branches. The last one has power out empty :-) because it is the last one
@@HyperionRust ahh true
Nice ty
what output do i start connecting turrets to?
Branches on the top ( above the OR switch that connects root and battery source ) from here you distribute power to all circuits that you need. Just keep adding branches and adjusting the total amount of power needed for all ypur circuits in on the 2 hilighted braches ( total sum of all your circuits power demand )
@@HyperionRust oh thanks ima use this for my next wipe, could you make a tut on how to make turrets turn on after another gets destroyed would love to see that 👍🏻
I run EVERYTHING off wind power with batteries ONLY for turret backup if raiders destroy my turbines. All turbines on separate root combiners to keep the power from each turbine totally separate until it gets into my base, so destroying 1 turbine can not disconnect the others - never daisy-chain turbines with root combiners so that destroying 1 turbine can disconnect any others. Every 3 turrets has a dedicated large battery that just sits and waits, fully charged, until wind gets too low, at which point the O/R switch will switch from wind to battery for maximum available backup time on the turrets. I use roughly 2/3 of the average wind power for running furnaces, lights, turrets, etc, and then the other 1/3 or so goes to the batteries, with any extra power always going to keep the reserve batteries charged. I keep this balance throughout the entire wipe, adding more turbines as needed, always making sure to keep a bit of extra power trickling to the waiting batteries, which generally never get used because no one raids my bases. This method requires a bit more wind power since you're running on it essentially 100% of the time, but in the long run it's the surest way to always have a battery at 100% waiting for a raider to blow some turbines. Using a counter after your root combiners to show your incoming power, along with another counter after your branches just before the batteries/splitters showing the remaining power helps a lot finding the balance of incoming and excess power. If you have the space, use 2 large batteries for each 3 turrets, using an additional O/R switch and a blocker to rig up a circuit to automatically switch to a fresh battery if the first gets drained, and no raid will last long enough that you'll need to worry about turrets losing power before they are destroyed. A battery backup system is a must for maintaining turret power after an MLRS attack.
Interesting take
Well that sounds like you are running really inefficient decentralized system, but i may be wrong. If you would like to explain it bit more feel free to type it in my discord.
@@HyperionRust If by inefficient you mean some extra turbines to be able to rely on only wind, then sure maybe. But with the update where electrical components like branches and switches no longer require any power, bases are saving dozens or some even hundreds of power depending on how complicated their electrical gets. I just always liked the idea of being sure that if I lost turbines in an MLRS attack or something, I would know I still had fresh 100% batteries inside the base to keep all turrets running as long as possible, isolated from the rest of my electrical things, even though the loss of my turbines would cut power to things like lights and conveyors, etc.
@@agentelvis81 if that works for you, great. All though it wouldnt be my choice
hmm
Another Circuit i have stumbled up on in the past, was a circuit where power somehow was first send thru a small battery with a small overload of one, before the power is getting send to the turrets. Thsi circuit should help turrets to stay alive, when all powersupplies are broken, so during a raid if the turrets can live additional 15min longer due to the overload that were given to the small batteries... I have forgotten where I have seen this curcuit and this is just the key Idea of it and poorly explained bc I dont know the whole thing behind it. I would love to see a tutorial of it, maybe you could help out if u understand the circuit i just explained
Thats simple, you can just put a small battery right before the turret to extend the duration of it. Its just gonna tax you more on power and if someone finds this small battery and disables it, the turret would stop working regardless if your main circuit still has power or not. But its 100% viable technique all though i personally dont really like it
@@HyperionRust So simple? thats cool. Is there a way to hook up all the small batery powersuplies to a single switch so the technique still work but you have one switch for every turret (that is for example located in your core) instead of having multiple switches for each turret?
@@Apfellinox Yes there is many ways to do so. I would suggest using smart switches or RF receivers.
@@HyperionRust ok thank you!
So with this circuit do you connect all power sources into it and connect all batteries to its output? So it acts as a center for your electricity?
Also please keep making tutorials these are actually brilliant
Exactly that, yes
