Flux Networks — FAQ

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Do I need cables or wires? No. That's the whole point - energy travels wirelessly between any devices on the same network, so there is nothing to run between them.

My machine isn't getting power - what's wrong? Check that the Flux Point is placed directly against the machine, that it's connected to the same network as your source, and that the network actually has energy (look at the Input and Buffer readouts). Also make sure the Point's transfer limit isn't set too low.

Can a network reach another dimension? Yes. Devices on the same network share energy across dimensions, so you can generate power in one dimension and use it in another.

How do I choose which generators run first? Use priority. Higher-priority Plugs are drained before lower-priority ones, so set your preferred sources higher and your backups lower.

What's the difference between a Plug and a Point? A Plug puts energy into the network (attach it to a source); a Point takes energy out of the network (attach it to a consumer). A Storage block does both.

Why use Flux Storage? It buffers a large amount of energy inside the network, smoothing out spikes in demand and holding surplus power for later. Higher tiers store more.

How do I stop others from joining my network? Give the network a password when you create it, so only players who know it can connect their devices.
