An addon to create: power grid that brings realistic insulators, breakers, wires, and so much more!

WARNING: There is no AC implemented in the mod yet. Once there will be all transformers will be made AC-only as they realistically should be, so they will no longer work on DC.

Current features:

  • Realistic insulators and their voltage ratings
  • Realistic wire gauges and their current ratings
  • Realistic breakers
  • Multiple insulators placeable in one block
  • High-voltage insulators can now be hung on wires
  • Wire clamps also attaching to hanging wires, connecting multiple hanging wires together.
  • (Visually) realistic transformers.

WIP Features (to be released soon):

  • Single- and three-phase AC, syncing etc.
  • HV Breakers (>100kV); HV Transformers
  • Uninsulated wires (or insulated exceeding voltage limit) will shock the player and arc to other wires with enough voltage difference.
  • OLTC for transformers

Known issues:

  • No recipes, not usable in survival
  • No breakers or transformers above 100kV (this mod is trying to make them as realistic as possible, HV breakers and transformers are more complicated and not implemented yet)
  • Lots of glitches with multiple insulators in a single block, breaker hitboxes, insulators-on-wires placements etc.
  • Transformers blowing up can leave lighting issues in the crater they create.

Planned features:

  • Actual recipes and survival-friendliness
  • Procedural power line poles and supports
  • Procedural insulators
