Feature Request (1.16): Allow reliable self-powering through connectors #494

Closed 7eggert closed 1 year ago

7eggert commented 2 years ago

Issue description: If you're powering an xnet controler through a connector it may run empty. Then off cause it won't restart once there is energy. But having a separate energy connector is ugly and the purpose of using xnet is to avoid that

Therefore if the controller is empty but if there is an energy channel, the controller itself should power through this channel.

Have struggled with this myself, totally agree with this request.

This is more complicated to do then you would think. If the channel has no power it cannot work. Having to make an exception for that for the controller is very messy. This is just the way it works. I will not change this
