I really like that this appears to at last simplify having subordinate power networks.

i can't load any of my saves with version 0.0.4 with 0.0.3 it works fine.

i get "corrupted map, contains id not in the dictionary: 16686".
if i disable the mod i can't load the map aswell i got "unknown ingredient type 5. i already removed all transformators i build.
with version 0.0.2 or 0.0.3 active i can load my games.
any idea?
or at least how to clean my savefile.
with a new game or old saves i didn't build any train tracks i can use the version 0.0.4

I have encountered a "bug" of sorts trying to use this to isolate the power for my reactor pumps. I tried placing it and linking to a substation, but I couldn't get it to work. However, if I used a regular pole to connect to the left side, it worked just fine. What I discovered is that if the right side of the transformator is inside the effective radius of the substation or power pole from the feeding side, the transformator doesn't work. It won't transfer energy to the network attached to the right side even if the wires all connect properly. I assume this has something to do with using the accumulator models. My guess is that the accumulator models are just looping the power back to iself and never actually sending it to the isolated side.

Hey, any chance this is gonna get updated with multiplayer compatibility? I crash when I place down the transformator when there is a second player with "Map doesn't contain 1 player" it's crashing at control.lua @ line 70

I do mods. Modding wiki is friend, it teaches how to mod. Api docs is friend too...
I also update mods, some of them even work.
Recently I did a mod tutorial.

I found a bug,
One of my outposts got overwhelmed from aliens because it run out of supplies. After the Transformater was destroyed I got this message:

Code: Select all

Error while running the event handler:
__Transformator__/control.lua:140: LuaEntity
API call when LuaEntity was invalid
So I was testing it a little bit.
Here is how you can reproduce it easy yourself:
place down a transformator, shoot the input and/or output connector (little ghost box an both sides), not the transformater itself!
After you destroyed these shoot the transformator itself and you get that error.

Just did a quick fix to make this mod multiplayer compatible, and compatible with 0.12.11+ :)!

JorgenRe, I tried your version in a multiplayer game and it crashed the game. The error message was: "Error while running the event handler: _ _Transformator_ _/control.lua:74: attempt to index global 'builder' (a nil value)"

Try this version. I also did a dirty workaround for the crashing issue i have when the poles are destroyed before the transformator itself. The health is set to -1 of these. I don't know how to fix it properly
Should also work in multiplayer.

Perfect! This just became the first mod I'll use. I'm a bit of a purist, so I don't use mods typically. Well done, and thank you!

Note: it's good for people to know that the transformer will only transfer up to 10MW of power, so if they need more than that, they'll need to hook up multiple transformers to handle the throughput.
