Energy

Overview

Energy is the basic resource in Technic. It is needed by every machine (with different amounts) to power them. You cannot change energy types without a Supply Converter, and there is a 10% decrease in energy when you switch.

Energy Uses

Energy can be used and made with machines. Here is a list of all energy users and generators.

Energy Sources

Technic Energy Sources

Type	LV	MV	HV	Notes
Fuel-Fired	200EU	600EU	1.2kEU	Needs fuel to run.
Solar Panel	(light + y position) * 3EU Has a cap of 200EU			The panel only works above y=-10, with light above 12, when it is daytime.
Solar Array	(light + y position) * 10EU Has a cap of 500EU	(light + y position) * 30EU Has a cap of 1.5kEU	(light + y position) * 100EU Has a cap of 5kEU	The panel array only works above y=0, with light above 12, when it is daytime.
Hydro	amount of flowing water around * 4EU	amount of flowing water around * 40EU		Maximum power generated is 180EU and 1.8kEU, respectively
Geothermal	1 water + 1 lava around: 50EU 2 water + 1 lava around: 100EU 1 lava + 2 water around: 200EU 2 water + 2 lava around: 300EU			Put the water and lava opposite another in order to not destroy another.
Nuclear			100kEU	Needs proper protection. Also, the power is only for 1 week.
Battery Box	500EU	2kEU	10kEU	Needs charge before giving energy. Each battery adds 10% to the storage.

Notes

Not all machines have LV, MV, and HV tiers. This is to prevent the other tiers from being irrevelant.

There is an issue on the Pandorabox github about LV being too useless, however.
