How it works
Use storage alongside generation when planning a production line.
What the extracted data can and cannot tell you
The building definition provides a base price and a matching candidate image. The current extraction does not establish a verified charge rate, discharge rate or usable runtime duration for this building.
Compare energy storage and generation separately when planning. A solar panel’s peak kilowatt rating is a power rate, while a battery’s kilowatt-hour capacity is stored energy. The factory calculator does not simulate battery charging or nighttime discharge.
Plan a power check before expansion
The Battery bank’s extracted build price is $160. Before adding storage to a shortfall, compare your machines’ combined running ratings with the connected generators’ peak ratings. For example, a chamber and a press have 28 kW in combined running ratings.
The current factory calculator provides a simple sunlight estimate and reports demand; it does not model a battery bank’s charge or discharge. An in-game observation is needed to determine how storage affects your own grid.
If it isn’t working
- The available extraction does not yet establish a verified charge or discharge rate.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a battery bank power my factory?
The current extraction does not establish a reliable runtime duration or charge/discharge behavior for the battery bank.
How much does a Battery bank cost?
The analyzed build definition lists a $160 base price. Runtime price and availability still need confirmation in the game.
Does the factory calculator simulate the battery bank?
No. It estimates rated generation and demand under a chosen sunlight assumption; battery charging and discharging are not simulated.
Base price, ports and numeric specifications are from static game files for build f87fd7e5. Performance and actual placement have not been verified in-game. Game updates can change these values. Read the methodology.
