The Priority Power Switch is an improved variant of the Power Switch. It can be used to set which sections (named Circuit Break Priority) [1] of the power grid should shut off first, if a power trip is about to occur. Additionally, it allows other Priority Power Switches on the grid to be toggled remotely.

Usage

Any Priority Power Switch in the world can be remotely turned on or off from the user interface of any other Priority Power Switch. The user interface has two tabs. The Priority Power Switch can be named in the Priority Power Switch tab. In the Circuit Break Priority tab, new switches appear in the "Undefined" priority group. Named switches can be dragged from one priority group to another.

When there is a power outage on a power grid, Priority Power Switches will turn off, starting with Priority Group 8, until power supply is adequate to meet demand. Priority Group 1 will turn off last. Pioneers are advised to put power generating plants and their fuel production chains in group one.

Trivia

  • The Priority Power Switch was accidentally leaked [2][3] alongside Power Storage in an Update 4 video, but ultimately not introduced in that update.
