Power Generation
Generators, reactors, capacitors
Generating Power Every network needs generators to feed energy in. Pick a source that fits your materials.
Solar Generators Generate energy in direct sunlight (needs open sky). Higher tiers output far more; only the top tier works at night. Rain stops output and they give nothing underground.
Coal & Lava Generators Burn fuel in their input slot. Coal, charcoal, blocks, wood and even boats work in the Coal Generator; the Lava Generator burns lava buckets. Better fuels burn longer.
Bio Reactor Consumes organic matter - saplings, flowers, crops, seeds. Cheap, but lower output.
Combustion Reactor Burns Oil and Fuel buckets for a large output and returns the empty bucket. A strong high-end power source.
Buffering Add Capacitors to bank surplus for when demand peaks, and craft higher-tier generators for more output without more blocks.
