Energy and Logic

Solarpunk energy guide explaining solar panels, windmills, batteries, cable connectors, network display, sensors, logic blocks, and sprinklers.

Treat energy like plumbing. Generators create power, connectors carry it, batteries buffer it, devices spend it, and sensors or logic blocks decide when some devices should run.

Core Parts

Part	Use
Furnace	Crafts glass and other useful resources.
Energy Furnace	A furnace that runs on energy.
Sprinkler	Automatically pumps water from the ground and waters surrounding fields.
Battery	Automatically stores excess electricity and releases it when needed; each battery has limited energy intake and output.
Generator	Energy source for powered bases.
Solar Panel	Generates energy when exposed to the sun.
Windmill	Produces energy based on current wind strength.
Sky Turbine	Large turbine that produces a lot of energy.
Cable Connector Small	Cable connector used to link energy networks.
Daytime Sensor	Energy sensor used for time-based switching.
Rain Sensor	Energy sensor used for weather-based switching.
Logic Block	Energy logic device used with sensors to open or close connections.
Network Display	Overview device for power networks.
Wireless Connector	Wireless connector used in powered base layouts.
Wireless Sprinkler	Sprinkler variant tied to wireless power.

Practical Wiring

1. Start with a simple source-to-device line using connectors.
2. Add a battery once the first machines matter enough that outages are painful.
3. Add network display after the network becomes hard to reason about.
4. Use a day or rain sensor in the middle of a circuit when the device should respond to time or weather.
5. Use logic blocks for conditional devices like lamps and sprinklers.
