Power Tiers
Tech Reborn uses a tiered energy system. Machines, generators, and cables all operate within specific energy tiers, measured in Energy per tick (E/t).
If you send too much power into a machine that isn't rated for it, it will explode. This behavior is configurable in techreborn.cfg, but explosions are enabled by default.
The Tiers
| Tier | Name | Max Transfer (E/t) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Micro | 8 |
| 1 | Low (LV) | 32 |
| 2 | Medium (MV) | 128 |
| 3 | High (HV) | 512 |
| 4 | Extreme (EV) | 2,048 |
| 5 | Insane (IV) | 8,192 |
To move power between tiers safely, you must use Transformers.
Cables
Cables are also restricted by these tiers. If a cable attempts to transfer more E/t than its tier supports, it will vaporize or melt. See the Cables & Transformers page for details on which cables correspond to which tiers.
