[Exploit] Infinite throughput on Poles #759

Open OmegaHaxors opened 7 years ago

OmegaHaxors commented 7 years ago

Transmission lines can handle infinite current on the ground wire which allows users to bypass wires completely and have entire networks of equipment run off of one extremely overamped line.

Related: The converter poles will hum when large currents are passed through the ground wire, even if there is no energy passing into the overhead line.

This will be usefull...

OmegaHaxors commented 7 years ago

I mean sure if you want to put 2.1 Gigawatts through a bunch of relays and using poles to turn corners that's fine, but I did put the tag [Exploit] there for a reason. Have a little fun with it in Creative mode before it gets patched.

AMIDIBOSS commented 7 years ago

IF it gets patched...

AMIDIBOSS commented 7 years ago

you see, some components don't have temp. watchdog nor current watchdog Poles have them only between eachother, but not on the ground. Just like with converters long ago...

YES! I can avoid using double height lines to power my city, farming facilities, and factories!

AMIDIBOSS commented 7 years ago

You see! Problem Solved! No need for t2!

OmegaHaxors commented 7 years ago

Except this only works from ground wire to ground wire. If you try to send that power to the line itself, the current limit of the sky wire will cause the entire thing to come tumbling down.

@OmegaHaxors Yep, nearly blew half of my grid up. Gonna have to use this method. http://imgur.com/a/1Xoid

Turns out it also works with other stuff too:

Interesting. I always knew the inductor and relay were unlimited but the hub and detector I honestly assumed would have had a limit considering they have slightly higher resistances.
