Use a power generator i e.
How to use solar panels empyrion.
As such it.
If there are generators present the base will draw power from the capacitor s before using the generator s.
So if your panels are enough you won t use any fuel.
Use some solar panels and a solar capacitor.
Let s talk about energy efficiency.
The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel.
Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient.
It must be paired with the capacitor solar to store the energy absorbed by the blocks.
Having a backup generator is probably a good idea.
Small generator and any one of the fuel tanks.
Generators do still need a fuel tank and battery power overflow does not get stored as fuel.
Add non essential devices or those which use large amounts of power to a generator power group.
Generally love thy survival constructor.
Solar capacitors will always prioritize using solar energy before burning fuel.
There are no infinite sources in empyrion other than the trusty survival constructor and water so not dying and spending most of your time not just mining is pretty much about using energy efficiently.
If you read nothing else.
Solar panel blocks are blocks used as an alternate source of power.
You can combine solar and generators and the solar gets used first.
