Power Grid
The power grid is where you place structures in order to generate and store energy.
You can place structures by selecting one from the list on the left of the screen, and then clicking an empty tile.
To delete a structure, click the filled tile while you have any structure selected from the list.
Structures can connect with each other without the use of pipes, but pipes can be used to use resources more efficiently at times.
Network
This is where you spend your energy to speed up other buildings:
- Construction Firm: Reduces construction time for buildings.
- Factory: Speeds up shard refining, store reload, and machine speed.
- Mine: Speeds up the drill.
- Headquarters: Speeds up download of software.
- Shipyard: Speeds up shipments.
The more energy you use, the longer and stronger the boost is.
You can boost multiple buildings at the same time, but selecting less makes the individual boosts better.
Technology
These are your structures for use in the power grid.
You can unlock more by upgrading the Power Plant in the Construction Firm.
Basic
Water Pump
Provides infinite water.
Fluid Pipe
Transports 1000L of gas or fluid per tick.
Currently used to move water from a water pump to a coal boiler, and to move steam from a coal boiler to a steam turbine.
The pipe is gray when empty, blue when filled with water, and white when filled with steam.
Yellow Battery
Adds +2000 power capacity.
Can be placed anywhere, and is not needed to be connected to anything.
Tier 1
Coal Chest
Provides 2500kg of coal.
Needs to be placed next to a coal boiler.
Has to be replaced periodically, as it will run out of coal.
Coal Boiler
Turns 100L of water, and 4 kg of coal into 30L of steam.
Needs to be connected to a water pump and a coal chest to function.
Steam Turbine
Transforms 10L of steam into 30 power per tick.
Needs to be connected to an active coal boiler to generate energy.
Tier 2
Oil Barrel
Provides 10000L of oil
Can be placed anywhere, as long as a fluid pipe connects it to an oil furnace.
Oil Furnace
Turns 20L of oil and 200L of water into 100L of steam.
Gas Tank
provides 20000L of gas.
can be placed anywhere, as long as fluid pipes connect it to a gas turbine.
Gas Turbine
Turns 25L of gas into 100 power per tick.
Tier 3
Water Turbine
Uses 20L of water to provide 3 power per tick.
Can be connected with pipes or directly to a Water Pump
Solar Panel
Produces 1 power per tick (0 when raining).
Wind Turbine
Produces 0~4 power per tick (min. of 0 without wind and max of 4 when there is a hurricane).
Red Battery
Gives +25000 to power capacity.
Tier 4
Lava Pump
Provides 10M L of lava.
Lava can be moved with a fluid pipe.
Thermal Generator
Turns 100L of lava and 100L of water into 200 power per tick.
Can be connected with a pipe or directly to a lava pump.
Tier 5
Fission Reactor
Transforms 1Kg of Uranium and 100L of water into 200L of steam.
Uranium Box
Provides 50000Kg of Uranium.
Blue Battery
Gives +500000 to power capacity.
Tier 6
Fusion Reactor
Transforms 250L of He3 into 500L of Plasma
Helium3 Tank
Provides 100000L of He3
Plasma Pipe
Transport 1000L of Plasma per tick
Plasma Turbine
Transform 100L of Plasma into 5000 power per tick

- Quantum Grid - Allows components on the power grid to connect to components on the opposite edge of the grid.
- Super Boost - Using more power for boosts has a higher impact on duration/effectivity. (Log10 -> Log7)
- Max. Power - Increases the effectiveness of all active boosts by 25% (multiplicative) if the current amount of power exceeds the maximum amount.
- Component Recycling - Increases the amount of resources returned from selling components to 50% instead of 25%.
