Create: Power Grid

Where this comes from

The basics on this page come from the mod’s own documentation. Anything about how it is set up or used on Indigo is ours. When in doubt, the linked docs win.

What it is for on Indigo

Power Grid is the reason there can be a power plant somewhere on the map and lit streets in town. It takes energy from Create or Mekanism and puts it on wires with voltage, current and resistance that behave like the real thing.

The basics

• Generators turn rotation into electricity; motors do the reverse.
• Wires on connectors carry it. Long runs lose power; higher voltage loses less, which is what transformers are for: step up at the plant, step down where you use it.
• Breakers and fuses protect a line. Meters show volts, amps and watts so you can see what is going on.
• Bare high-voltage wire hurts. Keep it insulated and off the ground where people walk.
• Machines and lights that take Forge Energy can be fed from the grid through the right block.

On Indigo

• This is the most technical mod in the pack and it is completely optional. The town does not depend on it.
• A shared grid across claims is a conversation, not a default. If you are running a line past a neighbour, ask.
