I can copy AI with 'set power to 2' to a ship thruster(ST) engine - normally it doesn't have that AI

1. open your normal engine(ENG) AI and create a condition 'none - set power to 2'
2. copy that engine's AI and paste it into a ST's AI
3. the condition is copied and you have a condition in your ST that you otherwise cannot use?

Expectation:

1. The game converts this condition into 'set power max'
2. or I have the ability to use 'set power to 2' in my ST normally
3. or the game highlights this condition and doesn't let me copy that condition, if it exists

I attach a picture where I have copied such a condition in my ST that I can't normally use?

In my action list for the ST there's no action 'set power 2'

I can copy AI with 'set power to 2' to a ship thruster(ST) engine - normally it doesn't have that AI

Yea the AI copy paste functions don't check this case atm. Set Power To 2 here should essentially function as Set Power To Maximum

[inner lynx]

yea, I like it more than max, because I can see the digit, but it's annoying that I can't use it normally. Ultimately it doesn't matter though, if I have max, it's just a visual thing

Actually, isn't set power 2 different from set max?

Use case is very niche, but set 2 when only 1 power is available will not grab power. On the other hand set max will always grab whatever is available up to the max

[long plaza]

Is that true? If the room is at 0 power and has
none - set 2,
It will only grab power once 2 are available?

Always thought it would grab what it can

It's been a couple years since I tested it, but I'm pretty sure that is how it works

[low willow]

no that's not correct. What Set Power does is just setting what power a room SHOULD be at. The Ship will just assign the power if it is available

Set Power To Max just assigns that value to whatever the max power is
