Most Space machines require energy to operate. Space contains an energy system for linking together energy sources, Conduits, and machines.

Components

Machines that output power

• Solar Panel
• Advanced Solar Panel
• Coal Generator
• Nuclear Reactor
• Geothermal Generator

Machines that input power

• Charging Station
• Wireless Charging Station
• Artificial Gravity Generator
• Oxygen Bubble Distributor
• Oxygen Collector
• Tank Refiller
• Coolant Unit
• Electrolytic Condenser
• Electron Belt Generator
• Block Breaker
• Electric Furnace

Machines that store power

• Clusters

Other

• Conduit
• Wrench

Usage

To break down energy into a few simple steps:

1. Place down a machine that outputs power.
2. Place down the machine you'd like to power.
3. Link together the machine and the power source using Conduits.

Some machines, such as the Oxygen Collector, take in this energy and output oxygen when surrounded by leaves. This is stored within the machine and is completely useless unless it is transferred to a machine such as the Oxygen Bubble Distributor. Thankfully, this is made simple as conduits work as both a wire and a pipe.

Therefore, the same process goes for transferring oxygen:

1. Place down a machine that outputs oxygen (Oxygen Collector).
2. Place down a machine that accepts oxygen (Oxygen Bubble Distributor).
3. Link together the two machines using Conduits.

The exact same system is in place for transferring coolant.

Additional Information

• Conduits work across infinite distances instantly.
• A Wrench is extremely useful in Energy Systems. It can break machines and retain their stored oxygen, energy and coolant, or, when right-clicked on a Conduit, will tell you the total amount of oxygen, energy and coolant within the system.
