This mod doesn't seem to fully work on the generators from the Science never stops: ambition of the cosmic. It can turn the generators on but not off, wasting a lot of expensive fuel

Reported by: PerpetualGamer
Description:
Fluffy has said it before but I didn't realize it until I dug into the code and I see similar thoughts as mine about this not working with mods. If turning the generator off would cause you be at a power deficit, it will NOT turn it off. It makes it seem like its broken if you expect it to turn off but it isn't broken.

When you think of it this way, that generator isn't your backup. The other ones are.

I'm facing the same problem as UltraDelux. Generators turn on, but never turn off.
Im using mods for power:
- Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Power
- Mechanoid Power (Continued)
It was working fine for about two ingame years with the mods, so i dunno if thats the reason.

was testing a setup, and if you got enough generator to handle your need, generator arent's stable ... turn on ans off and repeat. cause when generators off, grid is negative, so generator turn on ... but when on, grid is positive... so turn off.

Describe the bug
When I reinstall batteries to another room, the first few reinstall fine, but after 5-6 the control boxes say saved power is 0% no matter what. This persists on the save even after restarting, deconstructing and reconstructing the power boxes and batteries, and even after reinstalling the mod and researching again.

Expected behavior
I expect to be able to reinstall batteries without issue. At least as long as one remains installed at all times anyway.

Steps to reproduce

1. Build batteries
2. Build backup power units
3. Reinstall batteries elsewhere

Other mods
A lot...

Doesn't work also with the 'Fueled Nuclear Power Generators'. Damned, I need a 25kw Backup...

Describe the bug

When the generator was supposed to kick on, it vanished and there was a repeating error message at the top of the screen, "Backup power control box destroyed because the generator is was attached to was destroyed." Except the control box wasn't destroyed, and can't be deconstructed either by a pawn or by debug commands.
Expected behavior

The generator would turn on.
Steps to reproduce

1. Install a control box on a wood burning generator.
2. Wait for the power to go below the limit.

Other mods

Oh boy, yes. But I had it installed at the very end of the mod load list.

-suggestion, make the backup boxes flickable too, if i wanna disable something as a backup gen, i dont wanna have to deconstruct the box.

Description:
while this is an awesome mod, the research took too long. i see this as an early game resource save feature when you still rely on wood gen and solar panel. if the research took so long i may also just research geothermal generator and get rid all the wood gen.

As it says in the title. I set the large power gen from rimefeller to turn on when power is below 12% .but when a solar flare strikes, it doesn't start that thing up. If I start it manually, it behaves like any other equipment n doesn't produce power due to the solar flare.

Reported by: Avder
Description:
Nevermind, after some digging around on this projects github the issue is caused by the control boxes refusing to turn off a generator if this would put the associated power network into a power deficit. In my case I was trying to use isolated chemfuel generators, a single battery, and a control box to run a deep drill and a wall light with the idea being that once the battery is full, the generator would be turned off until the battery got low, which was how I expected these to work. however since said generator is the only generator on the network and the way these control boxes work, the control box will only ever turn the generators on, not off.

This is disappointing and I hope the control box coding can be changed to allow generators to be turned off based solely on connected battery power level rather than power surplus vs deficit.

It seems like the mod isn't turning the large chemfuel powerplant from Rimefeller on when I load into a game until I turn the generator on manually.

Not exactly a bug as much as it is an awkward behavior that I'm proposing to change

Describe the bug
Generators shut down when the wind is strong enough to power everything, but the batteries are still not full.

Expected behavior
Until batteries are full, generators should remain active to help fill them.
Generators should only shut down if having them active is a waste of fuel.

Steps to reproduce

1. Have unfilled batteries
2. Have fueled generators
3. Have non-fueled generators

Other mods

Irrelevant.
Output log

Irrelevant, this appears to be an by-design behavior that I am proposing to change.

I don't have an easy save for you, but a brand new map with god mode should let you see it in 30 seconds :)

can you add this to switch ? maybe with an inverter option ?
so you can set the switch on or off depending on the production exess or deficit.

Great mod! I tried putting one of these on a Save Our Ship 2 Fission Reactor (which is toggle-able on/off), but it didn't seem to work. The reactors have some other behavior though, so it might interfere?

as the title say, is it possible to change the "turn on when below xx% & turn off when above xx%"? when yes, i couldnt find the settings to change it
