How To Use Solar Panels Empyrion

Let s talk about energy efficiency.

How to use solar panels empyrion.

Solar panels get power from the sun during the day and store their excess in the solar capacitor for when the panel isn t producing power. It must be paired with the capacitor solar to store the energy absorbed by the blocks. In addition any generators present in the base will not consume fuel as long as there is ample solar energy stored in capacitors to meet the base s power needs. You can combine solar and generators and the solar gets used first.

Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient. Small generator and any one of the fuel tanks. The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel. As such it.

So if your panels are enough you won t use any fuel. There are no infinite sources in empyrion other than the trusty survival constructor and water so not dying and spending most of your time not just mining is pretty much about using energy efficiently. Next add a switch to power on off the items which you want to use generator power for. Generators do still need a fuel tank and battery power overflow does not get stored as fuel.

Use a power generator i e. Solar panel blocks are blocks used as an alternate source of power. Use some solar panels and a solar capacitor. Add non essential devices or those which use large amounts of power to a generator power group.

If you read nothing else. Generally love thy survival constructor.
