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
