Turtle Charging Station
With Turtle Charging Station, CC: Tweaked turtles can be charged from energy that the block stores, and the block itself can draw power from lightning strikes.
What it does
The block charges CC: Tweaked turtles using energy. Place a turtle adjacent to the station and it receives energy from the block's stored supply, which converts to fuel at a rate set in the configuration files. Maximum energy capacity and the conversion rate are both customizable through configs, so server owners can tune how much a turtle gets per charge.
Lightning is a second source. The block absorbs energy from lightning strikes and becomes charged, and more strikes raise its stored charge. A charged dynamo block placed underneath accepts that energy and can transmit it onward. Energy produced by a dynamo is carried through copper cables, which can charge multiple energy-accepting blocks. Copper cables only receive energy from a dynamo and send it to other blocks; they do not store energy and do not interact with cables from other mods. Other mods that add energy sources and cables are suggested as alternatives where that fits better.
The mod depends on CC: Tweaked for the turtles it charges and on TelluriumForge. It runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge and is published for 9 release versions across 1.12.2 – 1.21.1. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Its code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Turtle charging
Turtles placed next to the station receive energy from its stored supply, which is converted into fuel.

The block absorbs energy from lightning strikes, and each additional strike increases its stored charge.
Dynamo and copper cables
A charged dynamo block under the station transmits energy through copper cables to multiple accepting blocks.
Configurable capacity
Maximum energy capacity and the energy-to-fuel conversion rate are set through configuration files.
