| ==Summary==
| |
|
| |
|
| Many players are a little confused about the Energy Exchanger's purpose, because its unlock technology's name is [[Interstellar Power Transmission (Tech)|Interstellar Power Transmission]], which makes it sound like it can beam energy across solar systems. However, the actual building functions more a rechargeable battery charger/discharger, with the [[Accumulator]] serving the purpose of a battery. The Energy Exchanger has three modes of operation: Charge, Idle, and Discharge.
| |
|
| |
| In one location, an Energy Exchanger may be set in Charge mode, which takes in empty Accumulators and generates full Accumulators in a very short amount of time. Full Accumulators can then be transferred to other power grids via any distribution system (belts, [[Planetary Logistics Station]]s, or [[Interstellar Logistics Station]]s). At the destination power grid, an Energy Exchanger can discharge a full Accumulator, releasing an empty Accumulator.
| |
|
| |
| Accumulators operated in this way will behave as directly placed Accumulators ''only if'' it is used as the primary power source.
| |
| Otherwise, they will dump their charge into the grid.

| ==Player Tips & Tricks==
| |
| * Has great Potential to Transport a lot of Energy between Planets and Starsystems.
| |
| * Harvest Energy on high Solar and Wind Planets, Charge Accumulator and transport them to Planets with small Solar and Wind Yield, Discharge them.
| |
| * The need of Accumulators in Cycle is relatively high, be prepared to have enough for rotation.
| |
| * The Energy Exchanger will consume *up to* 45 MW = 45 MJ/s when filling accumulators, filling an accumulator in 2s (30/min) at full power. If the power available in the power grid is less than 45 MW, then the Energy Exchanger will consume only up to 100% of the power grid, leading to slower fill rates. Ensure a stable power supply to prevent interruptions in accumulator distribution networks.
