Accumulators are structures that | '''Accumulators''' are structures that store excess [[Power_Grid|power]] for use later. They are often seen paired with [[Solar Panel]] setups, since Solar Panels are only active during the day. This allows the factory to operate at night, running off of the stored power in the Accumulators. Additionally, they can be used to cover small spikes in power demand, such as recharging [[Icarus]]. | ||
Picking up a partially charged Accumulator will cause it to lose all its charge. However, once an Accumulator is completely full, it becomes a Full Accumulator. A Full Accumulator will keep its charge when put in storage. [[Energy_Exchanger|Energy Exchangers]] can charge and discharge Accumulators accordingly, and interstellar power becomes possible by sending Full Accumulators between planets with an [[Interstellar_Logistics_Station|Interstellar Logistics Station]]. | |||
Full | Full Accumulators can be used as fuel for Icarus and discharge at a rate of 18.8 MW. However, this will ''not'' return the empty Accumulator. | ||
