Mega Coil (1 coil that maxes a machine's power) POLL

[molav]

Coil 100 power > advanced 300 power > heavy coil 900 power > mega coil 2600 power > titan coil 7200 power

Mega and titan coil could require a second source of fuel to run I guess - more like engines

So you eventually hit the limit again with those mixed blocks and then for some reason you decide to break the coil and it goes back to 8 meshes that will overflow the mesh limit what happens next?

I’d say destroying a merged mesh would just result in an explosion where all 12 coils get dropped to the ground in stead of just the one you destroyed.

I want that for machines too lol

explosion

Should the explosion destroy everything within like, I don’t know, 10x10x10 area? Be pretty funny to see a Mega Coil have that as a downside.

[Krollbar]

That’d be even funnier

Machine rooms look cool as they currently are. However, they ruin your build because of mesh limits. So I’m leaning towards save mesh.

The mesh limit alone is reason enough to make 1 mega coil.

I’d actually like something different than a power coil. I’m tried of power coils. I’d like alternative power sources, like solar or a power generation factory that you could sell power to your neighbors

Edit to clarify point; not asking to remove coils, but add additional content… never subtract!! Only add!!

I think the coils now are fine. Especially with the ability to repair them all at once with the new update.

I rather have an alternative to spark links! Those eat up a lot of meshes too.

Since the cord take a whole block’s space anyways, why not use a special voxel block instead? We can still chisel it if we want. Yes, I understand that the spark cord looks differently, but with lattice we could get a similar visual anyways. Or just make the spark cord default to soma lattice shape, but let it be a voxel. If possible.
