<p>Definition of Tick, and also highlighted the Joule to Power controversy.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Tick =<br /> A tick is a cycle or unit of time in a game where information is processed. In Stationeers, &#039;&#039;&#039;the tick happens approximately every 0.5 seconds&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> For example, when a pipe element or a pipe radiator convects, it releases energy, measured in Joules, to the atmosphere during each tick. The values for these convective actions are updated roughly every two seconds.<br /> <br /> == Power &amp; tick relationship ==<br /> In this game, power is measured in Watts, which represents energy per tick, &#039;&#039;&#039;not per second&#039;&#039;&#039;. This can be confusing because the game sometimes refers to energy as Watts. For instance, in the [[Station Battery]] entry in [[Stationpedia]], energy is expressed as 3 600 000 Watts, which actually means 3 600 000 Joules, representing the maximum charge it can hold. If 3 600 Watts are drawn from the [[Station Battery]], it will run out of power in 1,000 seconds or approximately 27 minutes.<br /> <br /> === Definition of power in real life ===<br /> In real life, a Watt (W) is a measurement of energy per second (Joules per second or J/s), which is simpler to understand.<br /> [https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics) See Wikipedia]</div>
