Description

Are you tired of reconnecting turrets over and over again just to save some power and, more importantly, increase your tps?

Description:

With this mod, when completing the Microelectronics research, you can use the "remote toggle power" button to turn on/off the vanilla power switches instantly, to control a large power grid. Duplicants Pawns are no longer needed to toggle switches.

Misc:

Soft incompatible with Auto Flicker;
Inspiration: Player Controlled Switch mod from Oxygen Not Included;
Under the GNU GPLv3 license, parts of the code are from RT Power Switch;
License: GNU General Public License v3.0[www.gnu.org]

I think it is not caused my this mod, for I changed nothing in vanilla except for the power svitch (only add a new ThingCompnent). Maybe some of your mods have been updated?

I loved the idea of this mod, but it seems to have removed jobs from all my mechs, which now just wander permanently without ever working.

Ticks per second. Rimworld by default runs at 60 ticks per second. A "tick" is a step in the simulation, where processing of things going on occurs. Not everything is processed every tick, but the TPS of the game directly defines the actual rate that time is running in the game (in fact, in fact, increasing the speed scale just increases the target TPS).

If processing is taking longer per tick than 1/60th of a second, your effective TPS drops as a result, and the effective speed of the simulation drops at the same rate (this applies even more so on higher speed settings). Turrets consume a lot of TPS because they scan for targets regularly, which is an expensive operation, since it needs to check the status and distance RE: the turret of any pawns on the map, and it needs to do that for every turret on the map.
