Weight Plate is an Automation building that outputs a Green/Red signal to automation grids. The signal changes when an item (e.g. solid debris), critter (including Slicksters) or Duplicant of sufficient weight is placed on it.
To provide a signal it must be connected to buildings by Automation Wire.
A Weight Plate compares pressure to the set threshold. You can select whether it activates if it is above or below that threshold.
The plate can function as a normal Tile.
It cannot be triggered by gas or liquids.
Pressure threshold is between 0 kg and 2000 kg.
Tips
- The mass of critters can be looked up in their parameters tab. A Duplicant, for example, has mass of 30 kg.
- It cannot detect the mass of buildings in the tile above it. For example it cannot detect the mass of rocket engine above it.
