Duplicant Motion Sensor

The Duplicant Motion Sensor is a simple automation tool used to detect when Duplicants are working nearby. It is most commonly placed next to a Lamp or Ceiling Light in a work area, so the light only turns on while a Duplicant is actually operating a machine. This lets the workstation benefit from the +15% work speed bonus from a lit work area without wasting power, and it also keeps the light from generating heat when no one is present.

It can also be used with a Sun Lamp placed beside Beach Chairs. In that setup, the sensor keeps the Sun Lamp on only while Duplicants are using the chairs, which prevents a large amount of unnecessary power consumption.

• Use it to automate work lights around machines such as research stations, refineries, and other operated buildings.
• Turning the light off when no Duplicant is working saves power and stops the building from producing heat.
• For relaxation setups, it is especially effective with Sun Lamps and Beach Chairs, since those lamps are expensive to run continuously.
