==Transmission==
===== Wires =====
[[Wire|Wires]] can be used to transfer electricity of a system, and isare the most common (and recommended) form of electricity transmission. They are very resizable, and are not restricted to being "wire shaped", so you can make square or even cube shaped wires if you need to. They have extreme malleability, but are not very durable.
===== Antenna =====
If you need to do something and cant have a physical connection, you can use an [[Antenna]] to transmit power. [[Antenna|AntennaeAntenna]] have an ID system, It is recommended you change your [[Antenna|Antenna]] to make sure nobody uses the same ID elsewhere.
===== Relays =====
A more powerful version of [[Antenna|Antenna]] is the [[Relay]]. [[Relay|Relays]] can be used across regions (planets and stars) to transmit power where your standard antennaeantenna cant do the job. [[Relay|Relays]] also have an ID system, but what you choose for your ID matters more because anyone else in the universe can connect to it. Relays are also one way, whether they transfer or receive can be set by configuring the [[Relay]].
== Generation ==
===== Coal power =====
Wires are useless without power to go through them. Luckily, thereThere are many forms of power generation in the game. The most basic forms of generation are the [[BurnerGenerator]], and its larger cousin, the [[Boiler]] which is used with [[SteamTurbine|Steam Turbines]]. Both of these run off of coal bins (and, in the case of [[Boiler|Boilers]], you also need [[Water]]) and don't generate as much power as other, more advanced sources, however they are great for a basic base or for getting off your starting planet. If you would like to know more, check out [[Steam Power]].
===== Solar power =====
You could also use a more passive energy solution, such as [[SolarPanel|SolarPanels]]. [[SolarPanel|Solarpanels]] are relatively cheap and requirerequiring no physical fuel- theyand absorbabsorbing sunlight for energy. This makes them great for space vehicles/buildings, however in most places they dont make much power, requiring multiple very large panels for decent generation.
===== Nuclear power =====
A more advanced type of power generator is the [[Reactor|reactor]]. The reactor can be thought of like a really powerful, more complicated [[Boiler]]. They take [[Uranium]] and [[Water]] to make [[Steam]]. If you would like to know more, check out [[Steam Power]] and [[Reactor]]
