Getting Started with Power Generation

Setting Up Your First Power Grid

Begin by crafting a basic generator like a Solar Panel or Wind Generator. Place it in your world, then connect it to a Battery Box using cables—these form your power network. Once energy flows into storage, you can attach machines like the Macerator to process ores.

To monitor your setup, right-click cables with the Network Analyzer to see total energy flow and all connected machines. Open your personal dashboard by pressing K to track power production and watch your mastery rank increase as your machines run. This foundation lets you expand gradually, adding more generators and machines as your base grows.
