Wiki/Guides/Electricity

{{Wiki_Page | content= Ever since 1.0.0, electricity is necessary to hook up to your creation in order to run it. This can be disabled in game settings if playing creative. Electricity is stored in batteries. There are all three batteries in the game. Each battery varies in size, capacity, price, weight as well size versa capacity. A large battery is much better to use when you got the size for it because it uses less money, weights less and its size is smaller compared to using several medium batteries to achieve the same capacity. The same applies to reach the same capacity of a medium battery using small batteries. In Stormworks, maximum capacity of the battery is calculated in SWatt.
 * Electric Battery small
 * Electric battery medium
 * Electric battery large

As with normal wiring, you either parallel or series the batteries or any component requiring current.

Recharge Batteries
There are two ways to recharge the batteries on your creation.

Generators
In the game there are three generators.
 * Small Generator
 * Medium Generator
 * Large Generator

Solar Panels
You can recharge your creation with the power of the sun... however be ready to be immobile for a long time. In the game solar panels are one of the slowest ways to recharge your batteries, not to mention the price per solar panel if playing Career. Power generated from solar panels depends on enviroment (if the solar panel recieves light). 400$ per solar panel, weights 2.

Pre-1.0.0
