The idle power draw of biocranes is much too high. #1254

For reference, the mk1 biocrane has a max consumption of 1.22 MW, and an idle consumption of 500kw.
From discussions on the discord, I got the impression that these biocranes were intended to mitigate the ups issues that occur when building a large cityblock-style base. From my experience, this is a very useful item for loading and unloading trains, so that goal is accomplished. However, I've only just gotten to 12 blocks in my new base, and already the idle power draw from the biocranes used has surpassed all other buildings in my powergrid in terms of power usage.
I can understand the high power price for these cranes while they are in use, but I believe the power while idle should be much reduced, so that the players who like to build big city-block bases can do so without being destroyed by ups or power issues.
