📋 Table of Contents
☀️ Solar Panels
Output is 0 at night. Desert multiplier 1.3×, Mountain 0.6×, Dense Forest 0.7×.
| Panel | Peak Output | Night | Crafted At |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 Solar Panel | 40 EU/hr | 0 | Basic Workbench |
| T2 Solar Panel | 65 EU/hr | 0 | Advanced Workbench |
| T3 Solar Panel | 90 EU/hr | 0 | Chemistry Lab |
| HE Solar Array | 160 EU/hr | 0 | Chemistry Lab (2 roof slots) |
💨 Wind Turbines
Wind is 24/7 but varies by biome. Mountain storms can spike T3 to 110 EU/hr.
| Turbine | Average | Peak | Crafted At |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 Wind Turbine | 25 EU/hr | 45 EU/hr | Basic Workbench |
| T2 Wind Turbine | 40 EU/hr | 70 EU/hr | Advanced Workbench (Wind Vane from Coast) |
| T3 Wind Turbine | 60 EU/hr | 110 EU/hr | Chemistry Lab |
💧 Water Wheels
Constant output — unaffected by weather or time of day. Must be parked by water. Coast tidal bonus +20%. Desert: oasis only.
| Water Wheel | Output | Coast Output | Crafted At |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Water Wheel | 35 EU/hr | 42 EU/hr | Basic Workbench (blueprint: Meadows Research Outpost) |
| Advanced Water Wheel | 55 EU/hr | 66 EU/hr | Advanced Workbench |
| Turbine Water Wheel | 90 EU/hr | 108 EU/hr | Chemistry Lab (Tidal Catalyst required) |

🗺️ Recommended Setups by Biome
🌿 Meadows (Early)
2× T1 Solar + 1× T1 Wind Turbine → ~120 EU/hr daytime, ~20 EU/hr night
🌲 Dense Forest (Mid)
2× T2 Solar + 2× T2 Wind Turbine + Basic Water Wheel → ~178 EU/hr combined. Park by river to offset low solar multiplier (0.7×).
🏜️ Arid Desert
2× T2 Solar (1.3× multiplier = 169 EU/hr peak) + 1× T2 Wind. Water wheel only at oasis. Prioritize battery reserves for night.
🌊 Coast
2× T2 Wind Turbine (avg 110 EU/hr) + Advanced Water Wheel (66 EU/hr with tidal bonus) → excellent 24/7 generation.
⛰️ Mountain (Late)
HE Solar Array + 2× T3 Wind Turbine + Turbine Water Wheel → peak ~306 EU/hr. Target 1200 EU battery storage. T3 wind spikes to 110 EU/hr in storms.
