Energy

Seabases
Seabases require Energy to produce breathable air and to power appliances such as the Fabricator and Power Cell Charger.

Seabases will draw power from internal generators (Bioreactors or Nuclear Reactors) installed inside the base and from any external generators (Solar Panels or Thermal Plants) within power transmission range. Power transmission is represented by a thin glowing blue line connecting an external generator to the base. The Power Transmitter can be used to connect generators to bases across greater distances. Power is drawn from the oldest generator first, regardless of type of generator. Each generator will work to fill its own internal storage capacity and will not fill the capacity of other generators.

Lifepod 5 consumes and produces power much like a seabase. It draws its power from three special unremovable power cells, and it generates power from a built-in solar array during daylight hours.

Creative Mode
The Cyclops, Seabases, and Lifepod 5 do not require Energy in Creative Mode. Энергия Energie
