A network is a named, shared pool of energy that every device you connect to it can draw from or feed into.

  • Named and owned. Each network has a name and an owner (the player who created it). You can also set an optional password so only trusted players can join.
  • Wireless and long-range. Devices on the same network exchange energy no matter the distance between them, and the connection works across dimensions - a generator in the Nether can power a base in the Overworld.
  • Any mix of devices. Put as many Plugs, Points, and Storage blocks on a network as you like. Plugs and Storage feed energy in; Points and Storage take energy out; the network balances the flow every tick.
  • Live balancing. Each tick the network gathers available energy from its inputs and distributes it to its outputs, respecting each device's priority and transfer limit.

To join a device to a network, open its Network Config screen, then either create a new network or click an existing one in the network list (entering the password if it has one).
