Power

For information on optimizing power generation systems, see Power generation.

Power is a special resource which is transmitted through Cables and measured in MW. Power is required to use most equipment, and is therefore one of the most important resources in the game.

Power is usually created by supplying a Reactor with Fuel or by supplying a Fusion Reactor with Deuterium, but it can also be transmitted to cables using a Generator supplied with Energy Cells. It can be stored using Batteries, up to 1000 MW per battery.

Power consumption on a ship can be managed in the Powergrid screen and adjusted by left- and right-clicking on each category.
