Components

An inert energy cell — the blank from which the Energy Pack is crafted; holds no EU/FE on its own.

Water mill wheel — placed in the wheel slot of a water mill; without it, no generation. Wears out while generating.

Wind turbine blades — placed in the rotor slot of any T1/T2 wind mill; without it, no generation. Wears out while generating.

An ingot smelted from a vanilla iron ingot — the base material for the mod's tools, armor and block.

A full-cube base block for building machines — from 8 iron plates. LV machines (macerator, extractor, compressor) are crafted on top of it.

A crafting component — copper cable wound on a tin core; gates the Electric Drill.

The gear family — stone, iron, gold and silver; crafting components for machinery still to come.

The blank base for machine upgrade chips; has no effect on its own.

A material made from oil and sulfur — the Polymerizer makes raw rubber, then a heated Vulcanizer turns it into rubber.

A hand-held diagnostic tool — right-click a cable to view that power network's stats and highlight it in the world.

Dust and related intermediates (plate, billet) — what the Macerator and other machines turn ores into.

A pair of evolution chips — solar (day) and lunar (night) — that evolve basic T1 solar panels and wind mills into T2 via evolution, carrying accumulated NBT energy over.

The base crafting component — the 'brain' of nearly every LV machine and storage block.
