Use some solar panels and a solar capacitor.
How to use solar panels empyrion.
Small generator and any one of the fuel tanks.
The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel.
Generally love thy survival constructor.
It must be paired with the capacitor solar to store the energy absorbed by the blocks.
As such it.
If there are generators present the base will draw power from the capacitor s before using the generator s.
Solar panels get power from the sun during the day and store their excess in the solar capacitor for when the panel isn t producing power.
If you read nothing else.
Next add a switch to power on off the items which you want to use generator power for.
So if your panels are enough you won t use any fuel.
Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient.
Having a backup generator is probably a good idea.
Use a power generator i e.
Solar capacitors will always prioritize using solar energy before burning fuel.
Generators do still need a fuel tank and battery power overflow does not get stored as 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.
In addition any generators present in the base will not consume fuel as long as there is ample solar energy stored in capacitors to meet the base s power needs.
Let s talk about energy efficiency.
