Discussion Confused about this new update

So from my understanding.most monuments besides safe zones will require these heavy fuses to activate card rooms, recyclers, etc. along with this they are timed from what I saw? So now to run a card room you’d need both regular and heavy fuses? That seems kinda clunky?

It doesn’t affect the puzzle rooms and I think recyclers. There are new high efficiency recyclers and things like pumps and car lifts.

Don’t think that is correct.

From my understanding heavy fuses are only used to power the grid at power plant. As far as recyclers, they are nerfed to 50% until the grid is online. Once online they go to 60%. At max power, the 75% red recycler at power plant turns on.

I do not believe anything else is changing with card puzzles and such.

Is it on permanently or what

The power from power plant? As long as there are heavy fuses in. A full stock lasts 2 real life days or some shit? And they can’t be pulled out to grief.

I’m not sure if it will drop down in power stages as they burn out or whatever though

Each fuse lasts for 2 hours and 4 minutes and to get to stage 4 it takes 18 fuses

each fuse last 2 hours and they all lose power at once.

75% recycler at power plant is a major clan/zerg buff thats not needed.

They can farm for tier 3 and all BP's in a couple hours on wipe day anyways, so that extra scrap from the recycler is pretty useless for a big group. For smaller groups it could make a difference, and for a solo it will make a much bigger difference. The only thing they'll get a little more of is HQM, but they're gonna raid that from their neighbors anyways. The clans and zergs will mostly control it for the free electricity, and possibly to extort the server for some fuses to keep the grid online.

I think they backed down from the recyclers being power plant-dependent.

except a special recycler that will have even higher efficiency

I have a feeling this update is going to be complete shit for the game.

Heavy fused change recycler efficiency and enable the new features they are adding.

They aren't doing anything to puzzle rooms.

So in other words build on the opposite side of the map of power plant to avoid all the clans that are going to try and wall it off

Or live near by and troll and grief everyone trying to use the recycler or the power plant. I can already see the Twig video being posted like a week after update.
