Necesse Power

Necesse Power

Build and run a full power grid in your world with generators, batteries, power towers, and automated mining.

Necesse Power adds a copper-based power network that lets fueled machines run on shared network power instead of burning fuel individually. This also works for vanilla fuel-based machines such as the Forges, Cooking Stations, etc.

What this mod adds:

- Copper Generator - Windmill - Solar Generator - Copper Battery - Copper Power Tower - Powered Miner

How it works:

- Place one or more Copper Power Towers to create coverage zones. - Put generators and batteries inside tower range to feed/stabilize the network. - Place fueled machines inside tower range to let them consume network power. - Open a tower to view power stats and coverage. - Powered Miner consumes network power to generate ores over time. - Miner uses a pickaxe slot to determine what ores it can mine. - Miner output and installed pickaxe are dropped when the miner is destroyed.

Power network behavior:

- Generators produce power into the shared local network. - Batteries store excess power and discharge when demand is higher than generation. - Multiple towers can connect into larger coverage clusters. - Solar output is configurable and tuned for stronger daytime contribution.

Config support:

- Multiple config values are exposed so you can tune balance for your world/server. - Includes settings for tower range, generation values, storage behavior, and miner-related values. - Designed for progression and automation: Start with simple generation and expand into a distributed grid. Power multiple production machines from centralized infrastructure. Scale with batteries and additional towers as your base grows.
