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. Various fuel-types are available with various burn-times. Sticks: short, biofuel: medium, lava-orbs: long.
Solar Panel (light + y position) * 3EU
Has a cap of 200EU
The panel only works above -10y, with light above 12, during daytime. Full production of solar generators is achieved at about 50y
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 0y, with light above 12, during 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 one another in order to not destroy each other.
Nuclear 100kEU Needs to be refueled with fuel-rods. Minimum 6 rods at a time, one in each slot.
Battery Box 500EU 2kEU 10kEU Needs charge before giving energy. Each RE-battery upgrade 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 Pandorabox github about ideas concerning LV.
