Setting Up Your First Power Source
Extended Industrialization adds solar-based power generation to Modern Industrialization. Start by crafting a Solar Panel to gather clean energy directly from sunlight. For more consistent power output, build a Solar Boiler that converts solar energy into steam for your factory.
These generators require no fuel and produce power passively during the day, making them ideal for early-game energy needs. Place multiple panels together to increase your total power generation. Once you have reliable power, you can begin operating the mod's various factory machines like the Alloy Smelter, Large Furnace, and Bending Machine to process materials and expand your industrial setup.
