Power Control Station

Overview

Power Control Station is a building. It functions as an assignable station that can hold exactly one assigned Duplicant at any given time.

This single-assignment constraint is the defining mechanical property documented for the Power Control Station: only one Duplicant may be assigned to a station simultaneously. The limitation applies per individual station, so each separate Power Control Station you construct can host its own single assigned Duplicant independently of other stations.

Because the building’s assignment capacity is strictly one Duplicant, colony planners should account for that limit when arranging work distribution and redundancy. Where multiple Duplicants must be available to perform station-associated duties at different times or in parallel locations, multiple Power Control Stations may be required to provide concurrent assignments. Conversely, a single station will only ever accept or retain one assigned Duplicant at a time, so rotating responsibilities among several Duplicants requires manual reassignment or alternative scheduling.

  • The assignment limit is per station: building multiple stations increases the number of Duplicants that can be assigned concurrently.
  • A single Power Control Station cannot be used to assign or hold more than one Duplicant simultaneously.
  • Plan layouts and duplicant task assignments with the one-per-station rule in mind to avoid bottlenecks where multiple Duplicants need station access.

No other behavioral details, such as activation mechanics, power use, or interaction effects, are provided in the available documentation. The one-Duplicant-per-station rule is the sole confirmed assignment-related fact about the Power Control Station in the referenced sources.
