Description
Lightning Generator
Adds a generator that creates energy when struck by lightning.
What it does
Lightning Generator — A block that turns lightning into RF. Place a vanilla Lightning Rod or the mod’s High-Power Lightning Rod on top; when lightning hits the rod, the generator stores energy. You can extract RF from the front face (e.g. with cables or energy receivers).
High-Power Lightning Rod — A stronger lightning rod. When placed on top of the Lightning Generator it:
- Attracts lightning like the vanilla rod.
- Auto-generates lightning during rain (about every 15–30 seconds) and during thunderstorms (about every 3–5 seconds), so you get RF even without natural strikes.
- Works with Ice and Fire lightning dragons (see below).
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| RF from lightning | Each lightning strike (vanilla or high-power rod) adds configurable RF to the generator’s buffer. |
| Auto lightning | High-power rod on the generator creates lightning on a timer when it’s raining or thundering. |
| Energy output | RF is only output from the front face of the generator (configurable max RF/tick). |
| Configurable | Capacity, RF per strike, max extract, and rain/thunder intervals are all configurable in the config file. |
Optional: Ice and Fire
If Ice and Fire (or Ice and Fire: Community Edition) is installed:
- Lightning dragons can be lured to breathe on the High-Power Lightning Rod. When they do, the generator receives extra RF.
- The generator setup (rod + block) is protected from dragon breath damaging nearby blocks.
Configuration
Config file: config/lightning_generator-common.toml (created after first run).
You can adjust:
- RF per lightning strike
- Generator energy capacity and max extraction per tick
- Intervals for auto-lightning in rain vs thunderstorms
- RF gained when a lightning dragon (Ice and Fire) strikes the rod
