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
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. |
