Electrical Age: Re-Wired

Power in the mod is modeled on real physics rather than a flat energy counter. Voltage matters: a 50V lightbulb plugged straight into an 800V high-voltage line will not work, so transformers and DC-DC converters are needed to step power up or down across long distances. Long cables add resistance, which causes losses, so wiring has to be planned to make sure power reaches each machine.

Generators come in several forms. Solar panels range from small roof units to large 2x3 arrays that follow the sun, turbines can be built on wind and water, and furnaces that burn coal produce heat that drives turbines. A power plant needs cooling, using passive heat sinks or active fans, or it overheats and can explode.

CoFH Core is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod. ComputerCraft and OpenComputers are optional and add integration with those mods. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
