Energy :: stringExample code

Specifies an amount of electric energy in joules, or electric energy per time in watts.

Internally, the input in Watt or Joule/second is always converted into Joule/tick, where 1 second is equal to 60 ticks. This means it uses the following formula: Power in Joule/tick = Power in Watt / 60. See Power.

Supported Multipliers:

k: 10^3, or 1 000
M: 10^6
G: 10^9
T: 10^12
P: 10^15
E: 10^18
Z: 10^21
Y: 10^24
R: 10^27
Q: 10^30

Example

buffer_capacity = "5MJ"
input_flow_limit = "300W"
-- the following two lines result in the same power consumption:
energy_usage = "60W"
energy_usage = "1J" -- not recommended, Watt is convention for power
