Resembling a [[Crafting Surface|crafting surface]], a flywheel is silvery white in color with a yellow/gold circle in front. The circle rotates, spinning faster when storing more energy, and not spinning at all when not fueled at all. | Resembling a [[Crafting Surface|crafting surface]], a flywheel is silvery white in color with a yellow/gold circle in front. The circle rotates, spinning faster when storing more energy, and not spinning at all when not fueled at all. Small squares on the left side are a second indicator of a flywheel's charge, going from dark (drained) to a bright blue (charged). | ||

There is no crafting possible with just a flywheel. Instead, it takes in and stores electricity from connected [[Solar Panel|solar panels]] or [[Steam Generator|steam generators]]. Tapping on a flywheel will bring up a menu with options to remove it or access it. | There is no crafting possible with just a flywheel. Instead, it takes in and stores electricity from connected [[Solar Panel|solar panels]] or [[Steam Generator|steam generators]]. Tapping on a flywheel will bring up a menu with options to remove it or access it. If removed, the flywheel will go into the blockhead's inventory, retaining the electricity already stored. | ||
Accessing a flywheel will display a bar measure showing how much power it's currently storing. | Accessing a flywheel will display a bar measure showing how much power it's currently storing. | ||
A single solar panel generating for an entire cloudless day will fill approximately 5% of a flywheel's capacity. | |||
When connected electrically to a crafting surface that requires electricity and is in use, a flywheel will begin releasing power and supplying electricity until either the demand ends or its stored power runs out. As a steam generator will provide power on demand, a flywheel will draw on it until it's "full" or the generator runs out of power. | When connected electrically to a crafting surface that requires electricity and is in use, a flywheel will begin releasing power and supplying electricity until either the demand ends or its stored power runs out.
