Network Center

Control panel that scans the connected energy network and shows a full system summary.

[!NOTE] Not the final UI design; WILL change in future versions.

What it does​

  • Scans cables and energy-tagged blocks in the network.
  • Counts machines, generators, batteries, cables, and nodes.
  • Shows stored energy, capacity, balance, and overall status.
  • Provides real-time monitoring of network health and performance.

How to use​

  1. Connect the block to the energy network.
  2. Keep enough energy for continuous scanning.
  3. Read the panels shown in the block UI.

Machine Capabilities​

  • Energy Capacity: 800,000 DE (0.8 MDE)
  • Energy Consumption: 400 DE per scan cycle
  • Processing Rate: 8,000 DE/tick
  • Scan Interval: Approximately every ~2 seconds
  • Network Limit: 4096 nodes (with truncation warning beyond this limit)
  • Upgrade Slots: None

What appears on the panels​

  • Consumption (machines) and generation (generators).
  • Stored energy, capacity, and free space.
  • Net flow per tick and status (Stable/Charging/Draining/Deficit/Buffer Full).
  • Truncation warning when the network exceeds the safety limit (4096 nodes).

Network Monitoring​

The Network Center provides comprehensive monitoring of:

  • Machines: Active energy consumers in the network
  • Generators: Active energy producers in the network
  • Batteries: Energy storage devices
  • Cables: Energy transmission infrastructure
  • Total Nodes: Complete count of network-connected blocks

Performance Notes​

  • Constant energy consumption required to maintain monitoring.
  • Scan cycles run automatically approximately every 2 seconds.
  • Large networks (approaching 4096 nodes) may show performance warnings.
