It can send almost anything across any distance at an instant, opening up paths that were previously inaccessible for humans. There is one limitation that keeps us from conquering the whole universe - it is impossible to transport electric energy without storing it first. That is why it is a priority for every Riftbreaker to establish a robust energy network as soon as possible after arriving to a new world. Luckily, it is not as difficult as it sounds. The first thing you will need is a generator. They can vary in type, output, and size, but more on that later. After you’ve got your generator up and running, use the energy connectors to start powering the buildings up. Connectors are very simple to use. Place one near a building and it will automatically extend connection cables to it. The connector will also detect any new compatible structures in its vicinity and connect them to the network as well. Once the energy connectors are in place and enough power is brought into the network, the buildings will start their operations. Note that adjacent buildings do not require a connector to make energy transfer possible. There are multiple energy sources you can utilize. The one that is right for your base will mostly be determined by what you can access with the most ease. You should not try to make use of everything you find at once, as it will be highly inefficient and waste a lot of your much limited resources. However, once you are ready to complete your mission that will change. Producing and storing as much energy as possible will be necessary to power a rift back home. Make use of carbon. It is present in some form on almost every planet that supports life. If there is life, there must also be death, decay and their byproducts. Check if decomposing animals and plants produce flammable gases. Scan the geodetic structure of the planet. You might be able to utilize geothermal processes or tectonic movements to power your equipment. If there is access to radioactive isotopes on the planet, do not hesitate and build a nuclear power plant. Once you have your power needs covered, build a fusion reactor. Note that it is possible to utilize renewable energy sources, however they are usually less efficient.
