Machines (Macrocosm)

Machines are a category of functional furniture introduced by the Macrocosm mod. They play an important part in the mod's progression, being required to produce materials for the construction of a Rocket.

Machines are split into generators, consumers, and batteries, for producing, using, and storing power respectively.

Power

An example of a power circuit with 2 Burner Generators powering an Oil Refinery.

Power is required to operate most of the functional machines and can be produced in a variety of ways. Power is transmitted by connecting a generator and a consumer via wires, which will form a circuit. Consumer machines will not function until the circuit they are connected to has enough power to operate all of them. Power consumption is split equally between all connected generators.

A Circuit Probe can be used to view the power generated and consumed by machines.

Generators

Machine	Power production	Notes
Burner Generator	Up to 5 kW	Consumes flammable fuel to produce heat, increasing power output based on the hull's temperature
Wind Turbine	Up to 1 kW	Passively generates power based on current wind speed
Solar Panel	0.5 kW	Passively generates power during the day
Large Wind Turbine	Up to 4 kW	Passively generates power based on current wind speed
Large Solar Panel	2 kW	Passively generates power during the day

Consumers

Machine	Power consumption	Notes
Oil Refinery	5 kW	Processes Oil Shale into Oil and processes Oil into Rocket Fuel
Ore Excavator	25 kW	Produces various ores and soils, depending on the biome it is placed in

Batteries

Machine	Power storage	Notes
Industrial Battery	750 kJ	Stores power.
