Power Generation
If you want power then you gotta talk about how it's generated first
Thermoelectric Generator
See also: Supermatter Engine Guide
You put in cold gas in one end and hot gas in the other and you get power depending on the difference in temperature and if the pressure difference isn't awful
Tesla Coils
See also: Tesla Engine Guide
A thing gets shocked by the tesla and it outputs power depending on how many miniballs the tesla has before arcing to another machine at half the power
Solar Panels
See also: Solar Setup Guide
You connect the solars to a solar tracker and it tries to track the sun and generates power based on how many solars can see the sun
Antimatter
Wacky 3x3 engine that supplies power by feeding it fuel. That's it. There's not much else to it unless you mess up the settings, then it might blow up
PACMAN
Secure over a wire knot, give fuel, set target power, turn on. What fuel it takes and how high it can go depends on the subtype
Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator
thing with infinite fuel that can power up to 1 kilowatt. that's it. there's an advanced version that can generate up to 10 kW with good parts
Unimplemented and Misc
TEG 2
If the TEG is so great then why isn't there a TEG 2? Well, there was. It didn't go anywhere and has been sitting around collecting dust in the code for ages.
Radiation Collector Arrays
Radiation collector, they haven't been used since the Singulo engine and probably can't be ordered. RCAs don't actually collect radiation; they have existed before radiation was even meaningfully implemented - they only generated power in the presence of a singularity and (though commented out) the supermatter
Gas Turbine
See also: Guide to Atmospherics
A machine that takes superheated gas and shoves it through a turbine to generate power. A pipe-related version exists as well.
Fractal Reactor
Generates 1 MW of power when active, which is pretty crazy, and it doesn't seem to use any fuel. Probably because it's actually used for debugging. If you see this then you should probably ahelp.
Power Storage
If you wanna keep power then you gotta talk about how it's stored
Файл:SMES.pngSMES
Big battery fella. The amount of power it can store and the amount of power it can input and output per tick depends on the type and amount of coils installed. Receives power through a terminal, outputs power into a wire beneath itself
SMES Coils
Coils determine how much power can be stored and how far you can adjust the I/O. You can fit six coils inside a single SMES unit
- Superconductive Magnetic Coil: Stores 5 MJ of power, I/O of 250 kW
- Transmission Coil: Stores 0.5 MJ of power, I/O of 1000 kW
- Capacitance Coil: Stores 50 MJ of power, I/O of 50 kW
- Basic Coil: Stores 1 MJ of power, I/O of 150 kW
Power Cell Rack PSU
An alternative to the SMES. I/O is probably locked but the amount of power you can store depends on how many power cells you shoved inside it.
Power Cells
- Default: 1000
- Heavy Duty: 5000, found in APCs and portable atmospheric equipment
- High Capacity: 10000
- Super Capacity: 20000
- Hyper Capacity: 30000
- Potato: 300
- Slime: 15000, recharges, harvested from yellow slimes in xenobiology
Power Distribution
If you wanna use power you gotta talk about how it's sent around
Wires
Things you throw down to carry power from one place to the next. Distance doesn't matter, a cable close to a SMES and a cable really far on the same network will have the same charge
APC
Stores power but not much, it supplies power to all machines in the same area as the APC. If it's not in the same area, it's not under that APC's control
Power Priority
SMES receive priority over APCs, otherwise everything will try to charge equally and simultaneously based on available input, i.e. four SMES units with max input but only 4 KW available will mean that all four SMES will charge at 1 KW/h
RCON
Dumb
Breaker Boxes
Thing that spawns wires under itself to connect to adjacent wires. In a substation's case this will connect a wire beneath the SMES to a wire leading to the rest of the grid, effectively connecting the department that SMES is supposed to be in charge of to the rest of the grid
Pros and Cons
Effective battery storage but can depower whole departments if your settings suck, or if someone decides to charge some batteries
