How To Use Solar Panels Empyrion

As such it.

How to use solar panels empyrion. If you read nothing else. Generators do still need a fuel tank and battery power overflow does not get stored as fuel. Use a power generator i e. The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel.

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. Add non essential devices or those which use large amounts of power to a generator power group. Solar capacitors will always prioritize using solar energy before burning fuel. It must be paired with the capacitor solar to store the energy absorbed by the blocks.

Use some solar panels and a solar capacitor. 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. So if your panels are enough you won t use any fuel. Generally love thy survival constructor.

Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient. Small generator and any one of the fuel tanks. You can combine solar and generators and the solar gets used first. Solar panel blocks are blocks used as an alternate source of power.

If there are generators present the base will draw power from the capacitor s before using the generator s. Having a backup generator is probably a good idea.
