Power towers and priority switches yeah they're exciting yeah they're pretty dope they've been around for a long time don't say that we already have yeah it was a literally update for it yeah yes that was when we made the priority switch and we were actually looking at maybe reworking the power system but then we didn't so we started making these power Towers which we figured would be cool anyway if we didn't give them like a special function lace adapts who can't finish wow I can't believe this took us so long did nothing it's kind of wild how some of the implementations like you know like I think in in this case it's mostly about the fact that we couldn't get around to finishing these features like there were like 70 80 done and then like when we're actually like let's put in the game but we need to do this and this and this and this and they're like okay let's prioritize because we can't do it then, yeah that's always a priority game so happy to finally have them in and the priority power switch for people who don't know is actually, or you can explain it if you wish which one priority power switch Yeah you can essentially segment your factory into priority sections and then if the power would fail instead of, actually shutting down your power grid it will shut down the switch and it will start from the switches from hyper or from low priority to high priority meaning that your whole Factory won't shut down your power generators actually generators actually will keep running and everything yep which was an important thing of course because it's super nice if then your factory is safe but then if you fix a problem you still have to run to every single switch to turn them back on that's super tedious yeah and with that it comes to benefit is you can actually control your power grid then from all across the world of course yeah it's a super nice feature and then there's a bunch of quality life stuff here so one of them probably one of the most important ones is like the destructible
