About this project

What does Electricity add?

Brings electricity into the game!

 

Cables are the basis of this mod.

  • Used to connect electrical devices together.
  • Can only be placed on solid block faces.
  • Can be placed in any direction.
  • Up to 4 cables fit on a block face (i.e. up to 24 cables fit in one block).

You can use switches to connect and disconnect devices to and from the electrical network with one click.

  • Used to toggle electical devices.
  • Can only be placed on a Cable.
  • Only one switch can be placed per block face.
  • Toggles only the cable part it was placed on.

You can generate electricit with generators

  • Can be placed in any direction.
  • Cables or other devices can be connected to all four sides of the "base plate".
  • When converting mechanical energy to electrical energy, there is a loss of about 10%.
  • Can produce up to 100⚡

With motors you can convert electrical energy back into mechanical ones.

  • Motors also consume energy when the resistance of the mechanical system is greater than the torque they can provide.

    (For example, the Quern requires at least 40⚡ to start moving; if only 30⚡ is available, the motor still consums it - in such a case, disconnect the motor with a switch from the network, so that the energy can be stored in a accumulator).
  • Require a minimum of 10⚡ and a maximum of 100⚡

Accumulators allow you to store energy that you don't use.

  • Can store up to 16.000⚡
  • Releases the difference between produced and maximum consumable energy in a network

    (Fills the energy gap so that all devices in a network have as much energy available as possible.).

Electric forges can convert electrical energy into heat.

  • ...

Heater, who would have thought it, consume energy and produce heat.

  • Can be on all block faces
  • Require a minimum of 1⚡ and a maximum of 8⚡
  • The heat level depends on the available energy (has a maximum heat level of 20).

Lamps, who would have thought it, consume energy and produce light.

  • Can be on all block faces
  • Require a minimum of 1⚡ and a maximum of 8⚡
  • The light level depends on the available energy (has a maximum light level of 21).

Lamps, who would have thought it, consume energy and produce light.

  • Can be on all block faces
  • Require a minimum of 1⚡ and a maximum of 4⚡
  • The light level depends on the available energy (has a maximum light level of 10).

Sneak peek into the future of this Mod

7 Segment Display Test

The primary focus of this rewrite is the introduction of voxel-based electric networks, which allows for more immersive and dynamic gameplay.

I am excited to share with you the first successful test of this new feature.
