Bug Description:
Emitter randomly stopped firing despite having a feed in power of 60k watts.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Weld/wrench emitter in place above wires.
2. Activate emitter as CE.
3. Watch emitter arbitrarily decide to stop firing with no disruption to its power after doing so for several minutes.
This really sucks ass when you're relying on it to cover a ladder or other important chokepoint.

Re: Emitter Randomly Stops Firing
Emitters take a lot of energy to fire. It's possible leaving it on drained a lot of power.

Re: Emitter Randomly Stops Firing
60k power is super weaksauce for sure (I joined late, not my fault), so that might be the reason.

Re: Emitter Randomly Stops Firing
Emitters fire like 4 shots before having a cooldown, then they start firing 4 shots again (unless there was too low power to fire 4 shots then stop)

Re: Emitter Randomly Stops Firing
No, it literally just stopped indefinitely, so either the power was inadequate, or there's a bug.MrJJJ wrote:Emitters fire like 4 shots before having a cooldown, then they start firing 4 shots again (unless there was too low power to fire 4 shots then stop)

Re: Emitter Randomly Stops Firing
I've never had Emitters BREAK down on me. It's most likely Power problems.
