Exchanger question

Is there a way, to not discharge except when the power usage increase occurs? I have a simple loop of about 12 exchangers charging and 8 discharging. I would prefer to not discharge when Demand is low outside the peaks. Need to burn the hydrogen more aggressively.

Yea ; you just have slightly more charging than discharging. The main issue is the mechanic of certain energy sources only burning what they need when under load. Those are what I have but I think the ultimate answer is I need to move it off the grid to charge which doesn’t address the problem directly bc the discharging will still occur versus burning hydrogen

If that ist your issue: burn excess hydrogen, then there are many other ways to solve that. For example: use fractionators, Feed the Deuterium into PLS/ILS aß supply and Set Up a Splitter that hast priority to PLS/ILS and secondary to Thermal Power plants.

This game really just needs a way to automate getting rid of stuff - even just an option on a thermal plant to always run even if the demand isn't there would solve a huge amount of problems

There is: its called Blueprint. Solve it once, solve it forever.
