Power Early Machines with Ethereal Fuel

Creating Ethereal Fuel

Ethereal Fuel is your first renewable power source. To make it, you need a Fuel Transducer and water. Place the Fuel Transducer and supply it with water using fluid pipes. The machine will heat the water and convert it into Ethereal Fuel.

Pumping Fuel to Motors

Once your Fuel Transducer produces Ethereal Fuel, use fluid pipes to transport it to external motors attached to your machinery. Connect the fuel line directly to the motor's input. The motor will consume the fuel and provide mechanical power to process items or run other machines.

Scaling Up

As you progress, build multiple Fuel Transducers to increase fuel production. Attach motors to your ore processors, item grinders, and other industrial machines. This setup carries you through early-game automation until you unlock more advanced power sources.
