Just wanted to say 3 years in advance and this circuit helped me a lot. The addition of electric furnaces, automation, etc made me have to find a better solution to my prior knowledge. Thank you
This is a good guide for people with limited space in their bases, I also did circuits like this when I started in rust, but quickly discovered that really not worth the extra electricity components, specially when you are running 40, 50+ turrets and several circuits like this per battery / windmill, usually when taking patrol it destroy panels and windmills, after learning that the hard way, I stopped doing complex circuits like this with "perpetual" electricity, from now on, the minimum windmills I use are 6, plus a bunch of solar panels. Getting around 1200 + electricity and each battery for 6 turrets, using 1 smart switch and 3 splitters,( safe 64 points output) also adding several xor switches for rust+ phone alerts whenever the turret get a target. OP, if you have a chance let's connect I want to create a video of how to optimize windmills placement for maximum efficiency and space optimization, maybe we can work together.
yea i mean i made this when electricity was still fairly new, and up until like a few months ago i had never heard of 50+ turrets, i guess thats modded? im not sure
What a video. This is so good, and works so well, easily expandable too! I've got this set up with 4 batteries and it works flawlessly! Thank you for making this, thank you for your time and thank you for allowing me to have a full working electrical system!
to new people who are looking for circuits. these circuits are now obsolete. in the past batteries couldnt charge and decharge at the same time. nowadays they simultaneously are able to.
When batteryes are run in parallel (aka using root combiners to join them), the power draw on each one will be the same power draw from the circuit making it twice the power used if using two batteryes, triple if tree and so on. Untill that bug will be fixed, we'r better off splitting the generator powerline using splitters and making this circuit for each battery we use istead.
Yea, this wasnt the case when i made the video, im getting a bunch of comments about that all of a sudden... Rust must have changed something. i havent played in a while.
@@Kart1vyt a little test i got no time to do might be running the parallel batteryes with a stable power draw close to the limit, since a battery will only supply 100w max, but the combiners can pull out the real combined amount running close to the limit should make the bug negligible, this would need a hella big power supply tho, surely non efficient but still.....
So I did this setup and expanded on it a little bit but have a question. I have 6 lights setup hooked up to a switch and then a branch going to two splits, 2 sam sites running through a branch hooked up to their own switch in my core, 4 turrets on their own switch and a garage lift hooked up through this power system but I am still using much less than 199 power. Should I adjust the number to match my power usage on the branch that goes to the or switch/second branch so all the extra power goes to the 3 large batteries(300 output from the batteries to the root combiner that connects to the blocker) I have hooked up so I don't lose the use of my wind turbines at night and save the most energy? I am using 130 power to run everything I have so wouldn't it make since to send that extra 60+ power to batteries and just let me turbines run everything at night and still put power in the battieries? Averaging about 340 power in the day but peak at like 380 and. Mostly worried about someone destroying my turbines or panels somehow because I plan to set up at least 4 more turrets coming from this switch I already have in my core(I know the switch for turrets is mostly useless just messing around with what I can do). Still trying to understand this and don't want to mess with the blocker but from what I understand the blocker would allow the batteries to pass through to my base if the turbines or panels get griefed and they should be completely full?
Yea so if ur using less power than ur producing with ur turbines and solar or whatever, try to send the excess power to your batteries to charge while not in use, the main idea is that if your turbines or solar gets knocked out, the batteries can take over. Sometimes i place a bunch more solar so that im almost relying on it and when it turns night it seitches over to batteries. This comes in handy when building in snow cus u can set up heaters to turn on automagically when the power from the batteries turn on bc the sun is going down and its getting colder. All in all id say try to send extra power to batteries as a fail safe(can be tricky with turbines cus their power fluctuates). The only way the batteries are going to kick in is if the turbines dont reach whatever number you have set for them to go into the base. Thats where solar comes in because if youre making 360 during the day, you can add two solar panels to make it 400, when the solar goes out and power shoots back under 360 or whatever, the batteries can kick in
it all depends on how much power youre getting in. with this set up correctly, you wouldnt have to think about "charge time" because it should be constantly running
The root combiner will give the combined power of the batteries, however will draw from all the batteries. 4 batteries connected to root combiners will give 400 power, but if the circuit it's connected to only needs 100 power, 300 will be wasted. So even though 4 large batteries are root combined, your max capacity will only be 24,00rWm, not 96,000rWm.
If you did it you see how it works I have all my turrets 9 of them and light furnaces my neon signs my heartbeat sensor that sets off my alarms more lights and electrical traps around my compound and it never fails I can still run more turrets and 2 batteries stay at 24,000rwm untill they take out my power source windmills and solar panels they have to then take out my generators that kick in as soon as there's no solar or windmills
When the energy drops, the power is completely supplied from the battery and the incoming energy is ignored, even if it is low, how can we transfer the unused energy to another circuit?
so,..i have a question. Im trying learn old fashion windmill electricity system - cuz the test gen on mid servers has ruined me lol My question is,... is i have 50 turrets or more set up on a base,... will these two large batteries be enough to sustain them, or will i need like 3 or 4 battery combo? Cuz, i figure more batteries ya have, the more back up juice ya have for later on during a raid; AND obviously you will need more windmills for larger turrets set up and for larger electrify consumption. Any help in making me better, is much appreciated, thanks!
50 turrets???? goddam boi, i honestly have no idea, i havnt palyed in a while so i dont remember how much powers the batteries hold, the main thing is that you have enough power from the windmills, i would go for like 4 or more batteries to be safe, because the batteries only kick in at night so you should be good but im not sure, do make sure you have hella windmills tho
a bit late to the party, but you can have a max of 9 turrets on one large battery, however I don't recommend running more than 5 or 6, max. If you run too many, the replenishment from the windmill (I never use solar panels) won't match the power taken by the turrets if you intend to have it on constantly. I'd run 1 windmill to 1 large battery, then an even 5 turrets each, making it 8-10 windmills for your 40-50 turrets.
I have 1 question. How do you add 6 batteries output, connect power in blocker. I tried using combiners but short circuit. Max depth. And my batteries are useless at that point
@@jbroookss from memory i created the same circuit board multiple times. It wouldnt allow me to keep adding batteries. And for some reason batteries wouldnt kick in after turbines stop. So i have to recreate it. On builders paradise
I have a problem with this circuit/setup Normally if you have solar panels feeding into your batteries you will have a surplus in the day (the batteries will stay max charge) and a demand during the night (this will slowly drain your batteries because you are using the power) and that means your batteries will charge in the day and empty in the night. Now, all you have done is made it so the batteries will charge in the day and empty in the night, except with alot of extra steps and confusion. If I am wrong please point out the difference in a reply.
Im just showing the circuit and its up to the viewer to use it how they need or whatever but i think the main reason for it is as a failsafe. If your turbines or panels dip below their normal power range the batteries kick in, if they get destroyed(which is very common in raiding in attempts to turn off turrets) they kick in. Whatever the reason may be the batteries are mainly a backup. I get what youre saying and obv with a bigger base you really shouldnt be using just solar panels, should def have turbines. But something you can do is just adjust the branch that splits the power to base and to battery to where it doesnt go below your powers lowest point and the batteries wont be used unless they really need to be if theres an issue with the power sources. Ik a lot of people like the switch to battery at night cus its an easy way to integrate auto lights and heaters
The problem with this setup is that any input power below the first blocker's threshold is wasted at the OR switch. Let's say I set it to 150 for the first blocker. Night hits and the solar is 0, but I have a turbine at 130 power. The branch still sends the 130 to the OR switch at the same time the 200 power from the battery hits. Its not 330, but 200 only. So the 130 power is wasted. Am I missing something? I tried it out, and we have a 190 load. it slowly drained away.
So thats almost the point, I made this with the thought of having a consistent and constant power source, to be honest, I don't care much about the power loss from the wind turbines, in fact I'm almost thinking they charge the battery as its being used at night. What do you mean you tried it out and its slowly draining? What is "it"?
@@Kart1vyt My total load was 190, so I had the first branch at 190. Because it was so high, it didn’t really get to charge the battery during the day. Each night the large batteries didn’t charge enough to replace the power they consumed at night since the wind power wasn’t being used to charge the batteries at night. All good. Interesting concept.
@@coreymalczewski6125 i see your problem, you just dont have enough power coming in, this setup is mainly used for larger bases with multiple windmills and solar panels on the roof really high so i would say either get more power in and leave it at 190, or lower the first branch. you want to have that set to half of however much power youre getting from windmills/panels. Hope this helps, keep me updated if you try anything i wanna figure this out
quick question, iv noticed at night time when the battery takes over the output is always 200 regardless of how much battery I want to use. Is there anyway to change this?
You could put a branch right after the root combiner from the batteries, and limit it into the blocker, but this would work fine as long as you have enough power to charge it during the day, if anything you could always just not place one of the batteries to make the output 100
@@Kart1vyt so lets say I branch out 100 power to the blocker. there is still 100 going to empty? How can I save the excess 100 power from the power out thats going to empty from the electrical branch
@@ShortGrumpyMidget if youre saying after using all you electricity on things you need like turredts and such you have leftover power, you could always run that into the battery charging section if you really wanted? Although its not really needed as the batteries get charged during the day. Im not sure, i guess you just have some extra powerr to play around with!
Yes. That basic circuit on the wall that I have set up is the circuit you would want to do for "infinite" power. Meaning solar panel by day, and battery by night. You can change it up and adjust it to fit whatever need you have. So you can make it smaller if you wanted. Not sure if the game updated the way electricity works but as far as i know, its the same
k so i would suggest just using the solar panels but if you really dont want to, you can substitute them for another wind turbine, or just lower the scale of everything in the video
Tired of all the fake comments glazing about how good this video is I’ve rewatched this for 8 hours today trying still yet it wants to keep turrents on and then I have to turn the switch on for half of the others to turn on
Im not sure…someone else also commented the same thing recently. And im not sure what its about. If you set the root combiner to 100, it shouldnt be taking 100 from each battery, it should only be taking 50. But this video was made when electricity first came out, so i guess some things could be outdated? I havnt tested it myself but, that honestly shouldnt even be a problem unless you are using a tone of electricity. My suggestion would be to just add more batteries if you can if thats a real problem.
@@Kart1vyt i have two medium batteries my normal use is about 50 and when I am connecting to them to a root combiner it take 50 from both batteries 😁. While my active use is 50 but getting used 100, 50 from each batteries 🤣. May be it's a bug in game which rust should fix.
u can use anything with a passthrough so like counters or switches or even branches if you set it up right, basically acting like repeaters in minecraft. keep in mind that they take up power though, so you have to adjust some things and i wouldn't use switches cus if theyre outside your base, anyone can turn them off thus turning off the turrets
The main issue i have with this circuit is the left branch should be based on your usage, not your max battery power. Here's why. Branches send electricity to the left first. This means if you configure the branch to send 500 electricity to the or switch it will never reach that limit so no left over will ever go to the battery. IN reality this is a great circuit but also a terrible circuit because your input power become useless unless they produces 4 more power than what you're using.
Very creative build. The only issue is that the large batteries were run in parallel (4:53) when you connected them to the Root Combiner. The problem is that each battery will register active usage on a single item and drain accordingly. For example, if you were to connect a single turret you'd find that each battery registered an active usage of 10 volts, effectively canceling out one of the batteries.
Im not sure i get what you mean. Putting both batteries into the one root combiner is basically just a splitter but opposite, from what ive gathered, lets say you connected a turret to that specific root combiner, the turret would take from the total power that is coming out of the combiner, it wouldnt drain each battery by 10, it would drain the root combiner of 10 which in turn makes the batteries drain at 5 each to refil the 10 being used. But this video was when electricity basically just came out, i havnt played rust in a really long time, and things couldve changed with the way these components work. Main goal of this video really was to teach people what and how everything works so they could do it on their own. I appreciate the feedback and i hope it helped!!
for me this is very complicated i understand with 4 turrets but adding some i got really confused and made a bloody jungle in my base trying to get them all to work i didnt watch you show how to put the sam site and more turrets till after but im still a bit confused
Do what i did for the SAM turret; add another branch, and then follow what i did for the turrets; make sure you have the right amount of power going through, taking in account the branches that connect to the turrets
Well ideally youd have more than one, but if you have only one source of power, you dont need a root combiner. Root combiners just take two lines of electricity, and combine them into one. Since you are starting out with only one in the first place, you can just put it straight into the first E branch like in the video
whats Sickening to me is YEARS ago, i did this before the videos came out, and they say i bring circuits made online And "copy them" THATS LIKE saying each computer uses their own Design, they all use the same damn circuits.
But why? Why not just combine all the power, put it directly into the splitter and into the batteries? Then take whatever power you need directly from the batteries. They can output while they are charging simultaneously.
crazy how 3 years later this is still one of the simplest st8 forward guide to power and turrets

My suggestion would be to just add more batteries if you can if thats a real problem.
I made the video more so people can learn what everything does, and adjust this to their need, or make something of their own
@@Kart1vyt i have two medium batteries my normal use is about 50 and when I am connecting to them to a root combiner it take 50 from both batteries 😁. While my active use is 50 but getting used 100, 50 from each batteries 🤣. May be it's a bug in game which rust should fix.
what if the wire doesnt reach the turrets/sam? what can i do or use to make it reach it
u can use anything with a passthrough so like counters or switches or even branches if you set it up right, basically acting like repeaters in minecraft. keep in mind that they take up power though, so you have to adjust some things and i wouldn't use switches cus if theyre outside your base, anyone can turn them off thus turning off the turrets
The main issue i have with this circuit is the left branch should be based on your usage, not your max battery power.
Here's why. Branches send electricity to the left first. This means if you configure the branch to send 500 electricity to the or switch it will never reach that limit so no left over will ever go to the battery. IN reality this is a great circuit but also a terrible circuit because your input power become useless unless they produces 4 more power than what you're using.
Is this an app? Or program for emulating power grid configuration añd optimization?
No, this is a survival video game called rust and one of the mechanics in the game is electricity.
Good video. But my tiny brain hurts now. lol
Very creative build. The only issue is that the large batteries were run in parallel (4:53) when you connected them to the Root Combiner. The problem is that each battery will register active usage on a single item and drain accordingly. For example, if you were to connect a single turret you'd find that each battery registered an active usage of 10 volts, effectively canceling out one of the batteries.
Im not sure i get what you mean. Putting both batteries into the one root combiner is basically just a splitter but opposite, from what ive gathered, lets say you connected a turret to that specific root combiner, the turret would take from the total power that is coming out of the combiner, it wouldnt drain each battery by 10, it would drain the root combiner of 10 which in turn makes the batteries drain at 5 each to refil the 10 being used. But this video was when electricity basically just came out, i havnt played rust in a really long time, and things couldve changed with the way these components work. Main goal of this video really was to teach people what and how everything works so they could do it on their own. I appreciate the feedback and i hope it helped!!
@@Kart1vyt No, I believe it will drain each battery by 10 power unfortunately. Unless they fixed that glitch by now! I mean, there's still hope
@@fiddlepants5947 it's been fixed
for me this is very complicated i understand with 4 turrets but adding some i got really confused and made a bloody jungle in my base trying to get them all to work i didnt watch you show how to put the sam site and more turrets till after but im still a bit confused
Thanks for the feedback
should add not to leave root combiners on roof as you can break them with one bone knife and it ruins your circuit
Yea I said its just coming for your power source, I figured if youre watching this u have power set up
@@Kart1vyt over 1k hours and still use this guide hahah ty my man
Perfect 🙏❤
Really helpful 👌
what if i want more than 4 turrets?
Do what i did for the SAM turret; add another branch, and then follow what i did for the turrets; make sure you have the right amount of power going through, taking in account the branches that connect to the turrets
@@Kart1vyt so much wires lol, 2nd day playing rust it’s fun ngl but it gets complicated
@@plasma1706 comes with practice :)
Why wont they shoot though?
REALLY helpfull, tnx
what is point of this if i can do same thing in 5 min ?
So what do you do if you only ahve 1 turbine how many root connectors you need ? Damn this shit too confusing lol
Well ideally youd have more than one, but if you have only one source of power, you dont need a root combiner. Root combiners just take two lines of electricity, and combine them into one. Since you are starting out with only one in the first place, you can just put it straight into the first E branch like in the video
whats Sickening to me is YEARS ago, i did this before the videos came out, and they say i bring circuits made online And "copy them" THATS LIKE saying each computer uses their own Design, they all use the same damn circuits.
I mean theyre all basically the same, power to battery, battery to base. Its pretty basic. Also this video was made when electricity came out
is this still work?
Yep
How to download
But why? Why not just combine all the power, put it directly into the splitter and into the batteries? Then take whatever power you need directly from the batteries. They can output while they are charging simultaneously.
ion understand it but it works 🤣
cool!
Isn't that a nih core
Thanks
where is the unlimited power........?
what a nightmare
I DONT GET THIS SHIT AT ALL
so this is unnecessarily complicated
are you on console
