Rebalance power consumption based on when an object is in use.

RePowerReborn

Rebalance power consumption based on when an object is in use.
Original mod by Texel, updated to RimWorld 1.0 by NubsPixel, now continued by me (EbonJaeger).

Generally speaking, power consumers will use substantially reduced power when not in use, and substantially more power when in use. Power consumption will accordingly vary wildly based on usage, rather than the vanilla behaviour of simply how many worktables or doors you have.

repowerreborn's Issues

Sunlamp and hydroponics basin compatibility?

Hello! Thank you for continuing this mod, I have tried to enable repower for two in game items, and am not getting the expected results. I haven't dug through the game code to even see if this is possible, perhaps you have some ideas?

I have a Efficent utilities so the sunlamp when active costs 500w in my game. I attempted to mirror that with the following defs.

<RePower.RePowerDef>
	<!-- Hydroponics Basin to support low power mode when not active -->
	<defName>RePowerHydroponicsBasin</defName>
	<targetDef>HydroponicsBasin</targetDef>
	<lowPower>-10</lowPower>
	<highPower>-75</highPower>
	<poweredWorkbench>false</poweredWorkbench>
	<poweredReservable>true</poweredReservable>
</RePower.RePowerDef>

<RePower.RePowerDef>
	<!-- Sunlamp to support low power mode when not active-->
	<defName>RePowerSunLamp</defName>
	<targetDef>SunLamp</targetDef>
	<lowPower>-10</lowPower>
	<highPower>-500</highPower>
	<poweredWorkbench>false</poweredWorkbench>
	<poweredReservable>true</poweredReservable>
</RePower.RePowerDef>

However, regardless of the time of day, the above additions to the RePowerVanillaBuildings.xml only work to limit the power consumption to 10w. When the sunlamp turns on, it does not increase the consumption to 500w as intended.

Open for suggestions, I tried setting both of them to

	<poweredWorkbench>true</poweredWorkbench>
	<poweredReservable>false</poweredReservable>

but same results.

Perhaps adding a check for "scheduled on/off"
As the core sunlamp def has this little bit in it,

  <li Class="CompProperties_Schedule">
        <!-- Match plant growing times -->
        <startTime>0.25</startTime>
        <endTime>0.8</endTime>
        <offMessage>Off for plant resting period</offMessage>
      </li>

Maybe adding an option such as:

	<poweredWorkbench>false</poweredWorkbench>
	<poweredReservable>false</poweredReservable>
        <poweredScheduled>true</poweredScheduled>  <!-- Only used for powered items with a schedule!-->

Thanks for your thoughts!
