Basics

Used to specify priority of energy usage in the Electric network.

Values

primary

"primary-input" and "primary-output"

As input used for the most important machines, currently used for laser turrets.

secondary

"secondary-input" and "secondary-output"

As input used for all other machines. As output used in steam generators.

tertiary

"tertiary"

As input/output used for accumulators, to collect the overproduction or provide energy when neither primary/secondary output can't.

solar

"solar"

Can only be used by Prototype/SolarPanel, will be ignored otherwise.

lamp

"lamp"

Can only be used by Prototype/Lamp, will be ignored otherwise.

example

   usage_priority = "primary-input"
