Recent testing as of Beta 0.7.2 (staging) suggests that either energy contents of fuels are half of what the given info really is, or that stations burn through the fuel twice as fast.

There are two types of electric objects in game: supply objects and demand objects. | |||
===Supply Objects=== | ===Supply Objects=== | ||
Supply objects broadcast power in an area 40 blocks from their origin. This creates a "grid" of power that demand objects can draw from. The power grid appears to be unaffected by [[Land Claim Stake|property claims]]. | Supply objects broadcast power in an area 40 blocks from their origin.

All electronic objects (supply and demand) will link together and become part of the same grid, even if they are offline. Once linked to the grid, an object will remain connected until all supply objects are removed from the grid.
