Grid Power
Grid Power
Grid Power is a powerful, yet sometimes misunderstood mechanic of Extra Utilities.
It is used across the entire mod, every generator and almost every machine uses Grid Power.Grid Power is a cross-dimension, zero cable, non-transferrable power source. Think of it as a sort of currency.
Every tick, you get the currency, aka Grid Power, and every tick, the things you’ve placed down uses Grid Power.Say you have 12 Solar Panels, by default, they generate 12GP.
This “generation” does not stack, eg. with 12 Solar Panels you will have 12GP, until the Solar Panels stop generating.Your machines will now “use” this Grid Power, you won’t lose any of your Grid Power, but if you use more than is in your “budget”, your machines will stop working.Say you have 2 Resonators, both making Upgrade Bases. By default, crafting an Upgrade Base uses 8GP, so if you have a “budget” of 12GP from the aforementioned Solar Panels, your machines will stop working, as you’re now using 16GP out of your 12GP “budget”.
