![]() Then you place a transformer next to it, so that it can be powered. You place your sawmill in the middle of the colony, next to some nicely wooded area. You already have a wind turbine in the bottom left corner, ready and running and producing energy. So for example, let's say you need to power your sawmill. Otherwise they are just decorations, not doing anything.Īnd again, as I mentioned above, the energy producers can be placed anywhere at all, they will always work and produce energy. ![]() But it doesn't have to be this, it can also be the battery rack (an energy storage) OR the work area of another transformer, that has an energy source.īattery racks always must be inside the work area of a transformer to work. So you can build a wind turbine next to it and the transformer will work. This energy source can but doesn't have to be an energy producer. Transformers must have an energy source inside their work area to function. They will always produce energy that can be used by anything in your colony - they do not need to be connected to anything to work.Įnergy consumers (sawmill, bore well, anything that requires energy to work) needs to be inside the work area of a functioning transformer to work. So windmills and solar panels etc, can be anywhere in your colony. I hope I was able to clarify this a bit, if not, please do let me know! :) The energy production from these goes into a colony wide energy pool that is divided by all functioning energy consuming buildings around the colony - this of course means all the energy consumers that are inside the work area of a transformer that has the energy source. Again, this can either be a battery rack or a solar panel, whichever you wish.Įnergy producers will also always provide the energy to these locations, even if they are in the top left corner instead. So, in your colony, all of your transformers do not need to be connected - you can place transformer 1 in the top right corner and transformer 2 in the bottom left corner - as long as they have an energy source in that work area, they will work. We are working on improving the visualization here as we know this is not easy to see. As long as one transformer in the entire line has either an energy producer or storage close to it, all transformers with connecting work areas will be powered.Įnergy consumers (sawmill, bore well, etc) need to inside the work area of a functioning transformer to work. ![]() This energy source can either be an energy producer (solar panel), an energy storage (battery) or the work area of another transformer that has an energy source (this transformer too can have another transformer's work area as its energy source). Transformers need an energy source to be within their work area to work. When they are inside the work area of a transformer, they will store energy which can then be used whenever necessary. ![]() Otherwise they are essentially just decorations. They will always produce energy for the entire colony, regardless of where they are.Įnergy storages (the battery racks) need to be within the work area to work. Energy producers (such as the solar panel or the wind turbine) do not need to be within the work area of a transformer to work.
