Electric Machines
Powered automatic machines
Powered Machines Electric machines do the same jobs as the early multiblocks, but draw from an Energy Network instead of fuel or a manual multiblock setup.
Examples - Electric Furnace: smelts ores - Electric Ore Grinder - Electric Smeltery: alloys - Auto Enchanter / Disenchanter - Auto Anvil: repairs gear - Carbon Press & Electric Press
How they work 1. Place it within range of your Energy Network. 2. Make sure the network has a surplus (Regulator shows +). 3. Put materials in the top slots; collect results below.
Each stores a little energy and spends some every tick. If its charge runs out it pauses until the network refills it.
Tiers Higher tiers process faster but use more energy per tick. Make sure your generators can keep up before upgrading.
Tip: feed machines with a Cargo Network to fully automate them.
The Energy and Electricity category adds various machines which generate, consume or transfer energy (measured in Joules or J). It also includes Programmable Androids, which can be programmed to execute a series of tasks.
Besides a way to generate electricity for your machines, an energy network requires an Energy Regulator: without it, power transfer cannot happen.
You may also want to use Energy Capacitors, as they can store excess energy and extend the range of your network. The Energy Connector can also extend your network, but it does not store power.
Some machines have a buffer, meaning they can store a certain amount of energy. Unlike capacitors, however, if the energy isn't used before it reaches maximum capacity, it will be reset entirely.
Electric machines are best used with a Cargo Management System for automatic item transportation.
