Icarus standing on the surface of a Mediterranean planet.

Icarus, or simply Mecha, is the silent protagonist of Dyson Sphere Program. Icarus has the Mecha Core which supplies it with power required to perform various activities. The Core has Fuel Chamber that burns Fuels, converting them into power, and is also able to generate power passively, but at a small rate.

Power consumption

Ability		Power consumtion rate	Notes
Moving (Walking and Hovering)		100 kW / m/s	Total power consumption ranges between 600 kW .. 1.6 MW depending on the level of Mechanical Frame upgrade. Hovering also activates Thruster required for staying in the air.
Replicator		240 kW	Consumption is the same regardless of replication speed.
Manual research		360 kW
Gathering		640 kW	Consumption is the same both for veins and vegetation/rocks.
Drones		60kW / m/s	Drones are powered remotely and spend energy during the flight. Consumption is 360 kW / drone baseline and 1.08 MW / drone for Drone Engine level 5.
Thruster	Hovering	~1.2 MW	When moving by Hovering, also consumes energy according to the current Moving speed
	Flying
	Accelerating when Sailing in Space	up to 91.3 MW
Warp Drive	Activating
	Traveling	3.2 MW / AU/s	= 80 W / m/s = 192MW / ly/s (far less energy per metre per second than Walking). 38.4 MW for basic warp speed, increased by 9.6 MW per each additional level of the Drive Engine upgrade.
