power priority

[some moron]

Is there a way to prioritize power?
I cleverly built a large single power grid, which worked well until there was a problem and everything stopped and now it's a major pain to debug and I think I'll build independent power grids instead.

Ideally I could build a mini power grid to power the fuel producers then IF THERE IS ANY POWER LEFT OVER then put it into the larger grid. But don't let the large grid suck the power directly because then the circuit trips and the fuel producers stop etc.

Look at this official video with updates notes for update 8

Especially look at minute 3 of the video

Thanks. I can't build priority power switch yet, something to look forward to.

Okay, when do I get power priority switch? I am on tier 9 and this game feels stupid as though I've been given a roll of romex and a stapler and told to make a make a computer

Search in the MAM

[some moron]

omg thank you
that's frustrating, something so useful there, in a weird branch
MAM seems to have super useful stuff and trash, all mixed together

[some moron]

also, I've been building supercomputers, apparently without "discovering" them in MAM

weird also because not much other parts like supercomputer need to be discovered in MAM

I didnt knew power switches was unlocked in MAM, it wouldve been useful early on in the game.

They are also unlocked in Tier 7. Alternate ways of getting the same thing.
