Assember + generator?

Post by sotaskimmer »

Hi all,

Working on my first mod here, had 2 questions:

1) Is there a way to create an assembler that also generates power? e.g., power plant that creates usable byproducts (that you wouldn't want to destroy).

2) Is there a way to re-style the energy from joules to something like eV, BTU, calorie, etc?

Thanks. I searched for a while before posting this, couldn't find my answers.

**edited to clear up power vs energy**

2) doesn't make much sense. Joule and electronvolt are units of energy, not power. 1 watt = 1 joule/second.

Ah thanks I misspoke, changed it to reflect my meaning.

electronvolts would only be useful if you were to make a mod that involved subatomic mechanics...
