Power Generation

If you want power then you gotta talk about how it's generated first

TEG

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

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

RCA

Radiation collector, they haven't been used since the Singulo engine and probably can't be ordered. Unless aurora nerfed them they should be able to harvest radiation from the SM

Power Storage

If you wanna keep power then you gotta talk about how it's stored

File: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

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 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

Pretty sure all APCs get equal priority, but maybe not SMES. Whatever's using the highest amount of power gets cut first

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
