Event-Driven Power

[WarMechanic]

Will require: #2355

Description

Draft PR with nothing in it, but now I have a space to write out my TODO. I will be pushing changes here later.

First foot in the war against frameTime EQE. Many devices on the station have a fixed load which makes frameTime updates overkill. Recharging batteries don't need to be updated on frameTime, since they recharge at a fixed rate and can have their charge interpolated.

TODO

• C.Se/Power/EntitySystems/BatterySystem.cs

• • Replace frameTime recharging with event-driven charge updates.
• • • Remove frameTime update in BatterySystem for self recharging power cells
• • • Remove frameTime update events originating from PowerNetSystem for PowerNetBatteries
• • • Adjust the TrySetCharge func to use a time delta rather than frameTime
• • • Create a new UpdateCharge function that is called whenever recharge rate is changed, the battery is examined or charge is used

• C.Se/Power/EntitySystems/PowerNetSystem.cs

• • Investigate UpdateApcPowerReceiver(frameTime);
• • • Split off battery usage checks into its own function
• • • What the fuck does |= mean?
• • • This Seems to be responsible for enabling / disabling all powered devices on an APC grid. Should be using bubble down logic, aka consider the natural transport of electricity from Generator -> Substation -> APC -> Powered Device. Rather than checking every single powered device, check whether an APC has enough power to support child power devices.
• • Investigate UpdatePowerConsumer();
• • • Updates power received when the delta is high enough. Would be rendered obsolete by event-drive.
• • Investigate UpdateNetworkBattery();
• • • Raises a PowerNetBatterySupplyEvent(bool) which isn't used by many systems.
• • Remove Update(float frameTime) { ... }
