robot_energy_storage

# The robot_energy_storage datum

Used to handle robot stack items, such as metal, wood, nanopaste, etc.

To make things simple, the default `cost` of using 1 item from a borg stack, is 1.
So then for example, when we have a `max_energy` of 50, the borg can use 50 of that item before it runs out.

The `recharge_rate` will be affected by the charge rate of a borg recharger, depending on the level of parts. By default it is 1.
This amount will be given every 2 seconds. So at round start, rechargers will give 1 energy back every 2 seconds, to each stack the borg has.

Var Details

energy

Current amount of energy.

max_energy

The max amount of energy the stack can hold at once.

name

The name of the energy storage.

recharge_rate

The amount of energy the stack will regain while charging.

statpanel_name

The name that will be displayed in the status panel.

Proc Details

add_charge

Called whenever the cyborg is recharging and gains charge on its stack, or when clicking on other same-type stacks in the world.

Arguments:

• amount - the number to add to the energy var.

use_charge

Called whenever the cyborg uses one of its stacks. Subtract the amount used from this datum's energy variable.

Arguments:

• amount - the number to subtract from the energy var.
