Auto Hydrogen Engines

Auto Hydrogen Engine

An automated script designed to optimize power generation, save ice, and prevent fuel waste by intelligently managing your hydrogen engines based on average grid battery charge. This script is mainly made for Stations to reduce constant ice burn.

Features

• Automatic Control: Automatically turns on hydrogen engines when your average battery charge drops below 70% and switches them off once charge reaches 95% or higher.
• Resource Efficiency: Prevents engines from running continuously or burning through valuable ice reserves when your batteries are already healthy.
• Built-in LCD Status Display: Outputs real-time system stats directly onto the Programmable Block's screen, including current average battery percentage, active block counts, and system status (Charging / Standby).
• Automatic Grid Scanning: Automatically detects batteries and hydrogen engines on your grid, with periodic rescans to handle docked ships or newly built components.

How to Use

• Place a Programmable Block on your grid and load this script.
• Ensure you have at least one battery and one hydrogen engine connected to your grid terminal system.
• Check the Programmable Block's built-in LCD screen for live status updates.

Configuration

You can easily adjust the activation thresholds at the top of the script code if needed:

float Const1 = 70.00f; // Turn-on threshold (< 70%)
float Const2 = 95.00f; // Turn-off threshold (> 95%)
