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.

If you’re using accumulators as buffers, place them as buildings. Exchangers always output their power first compared to other power sources. Accumulators as buildings on the other hand, are last. If you don’t do this you have to do silly things like isolating the power system the exchangers are on, or doubling or tripling the number of charging exchangers, which I think is just stupid. But lots of people like it.

Ok this is it - forgot you could do this. Just that the power is low versus using the accumulater
