=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

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

[[File:SMES.png]]SMES
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

Rechargers
These things use ridiculous amounts of power so maybe don't decide to recharge more than two power cells at a time lmao

Device Recharger
45 kW when active. Accepts power cells, energy weapons, batons, and certain devices.

Heavy-Duty Cell Charger
90 kW when active. Only accepts power cells.

Cyborg Recharging Station
40 kW when active with default parts. Accepts stationbounds, IPCs, and biologic crew if they're wearing a RIG. It can also repair the damage of synthetic individuals if its parts are upgraded, though this can consume more power.

Exosuit Dock
90 kW when active. Park a mech over this to recharge its cell.

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
