Immersive Energy
An addon for the Immersive Engineering mod that expands energy generation capabilities following a realistic engineering approach.
Main Features
The mod adds various methods of energy production that organically fit into the Immersive Engineering concept:
-
Thorium - a rare mineral found with the same frequency as uranium. When crushed, it has a small chance of turning into uranium. Thorium blocks are compatible with the thermoelectric generator.
-
Tungsten - an extremely rare ore. Tungsten rods are used as powerful ammunition for the railgun but have the highest dropoff rate.
-
Portable Solar Panel - generates energy depending on the sun's position, altitude, weather conditions, and biome. Loses stored energy when not generating. Requires a solid foundation. Preserves energy when broken.
-
Hefty Wrench - a multifunctional tool that can be upgraded. Used as a weapon, hammer, and also as an electric hammer from Immersive Intelligence (requires power).
-
Environmental Suit [WIP] - provides protection from most types of damage. Fully functional but requires texture and model improvements. Recipes will be changed in the future.
-
Serene Seasons compatibility - solar panels generate more or less energy depending on the season.
-
Portable Gas Burner - works similarly to a smoker, suitable for any items that turn into food or drinks. Uses liquid fuels. Requires a minimum heat level, but higher temperatures speed up the process.
Planned Updates
- Placing solar panels next to each other without needing a solid foundation
- Adding a large, less portable solar panel
- Weather mod compatibility (storms, tornadoes)
- Adding radiation system (API)
- Multiblock fluid battery
- Solid fuel reactor
- Molten salt reactor
- Turbines
- Large liquid storage
- Geothermal heater
- Cooling towers of three tiers
- Solid/fluid boilers
- Pollution of the Realms compatibility
- Immersive Petroleum compatibility
Known Issues
- Solar panel base doesn't have a hitbox - this is temporary until full functionality is implemented
Important: When updating to version 0.4.3, delete the old configuration file.
