This new component behaves a bit like a step-up charger or diode, in order to control the flow of electrical energy in one direction, and to regulate energy. In Stormworks, electrical energy flows from high charge to low charge components. Often the battery is the component with the highest charge, and so energy flows from the battery storage to other components that are using electrical energy. This component takes energy from the input side, and transforms it across to the output side to full charge. This means you can charge batteries and power components with full power, even when the input circuit has low charge, for example where batteries are running out of energy. With a small size of only 2 blocks, this component has a limited rate and it takes some time to charge.

Electrical systems will be all the more useful in the upcoming v1.0 release on Sept 17th 2020, where players will be able to connect systems easily using the new hand held cables to link electrical points. Let us know your thoughts on the new electric charger component, and any other ideas you have on the electrical systems, and how we could develop them further.

We continue to work hard on improving the new features and quality of the Version 1.0 Update, and with less than 5 weeks to go, we are all super excited to share what we have been working on with you. As always, we will be back with more details and information on upcoming development next week. Much love <3, The Stormworks Developers v0.10.34 Fix - Environment mod 0 limit not spawning multiple instances v0.10.35 Feature - Electric Charger
