This is a basic introduction to electricity, one of the most important mechanics in the game. |
|||
==Transmission== |
|||
===== Wires ===== |
|||
[[Wire|Wires]] can be used to transfer electricity of a system, and are 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|Antenna]] 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 antenna 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 ===== |
|||
There are many forms of power generation in the game. The most basic forms of generation are the [[BurnerGenerator]], and 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]] require no physical fuel and absorb sunlight for energy. This makes them great for space vehicles/buildings, however in most places they dont make much power, requiring multiple very large panel 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]] |
|||
===== Dark power ===== |
|||
The hardest power source in the game to get, [[DarkMatter|Dark Matter]] power. [[DarkMatter|Dark Matter]] power however is almost the simplest source of power, second to Solar power. It uses two parts, [[DarkReactor|Dark Reactors]] and [[DarkConverter|Dark Converters]]. [[DarkReactor|Dark Reactors]] simply make [[DarkMatter|Dark Matter]] when near a [[Black Hole]], and [[DarkConverter|Dark Converters]] turns it into power, both of these make a ton of heat, and instantly kill any nearby player. |
|||
== Trivia == |
|||
* There used to be certain [[resources]] that generated power when they touched another material, known to the community as "power mats." These became overused and where unbalanced, so as of December 5, 2020, they have been removed from the game entirely after a few nerfs. |
|||
*There where also physical/movement operated machines called Generators. The Generator, unlike other sources, outputs power when spun by something like an [[Engine]] or WindTurbine. They require no fuel directly, however if whatever is spinning them does, then fuel may be needed. However, They where extremely exploitable and could be used to generate a ton of free power, and where removed on February 28, 2021. |
