Electricity
How Rust power works: a source generates power (rW), a battery stores it, logic routes and switches it, and consumers spend it. Total draw must stay under what your source + battery supply.
Power sources
Large Solar Panel
up to 20 rW
peak, in direct sunlight
Water Wheel
up to 30 rW
from flowing water (×1.2 in ocean), or up to 60 rW pedaled by hand
Wind Turbine
up to 150 rW
scales with how high you place it
Batteries
Large Rechargeable Battery
100 rW out · 240 min
Medium Rechargeable Battery
50 rW out · 180 min
Small Rechargeable Battery
15 rW out · 27 min
Logic & routing — 26
Consumers by power draw — 71
Power draw is in rW (Rust watts) — the amount each device pulls while powered. Logic components mostly pass power through unchanged.
