Transformers

INFO

Transformers, also known as DC-DC Converters, can either step up or step down voltage statically. The green side is the input and the yellow side is the output, though the inputs are not restricted to a fixed side.

How to use

To adjust the voltage, open the inventory of the transformer. You will see four slots:

• Middle Slot: For a ferromagnetic core, which comes in three variants, each has a different efficiency rating that affects voltage loss:

  • Cheap, loss factor: 100
  • Average, loss factor: 50
  • Optimal, loss factor: 1

• Slot 1 and Slot 3: For copper cables, which control how much the voltage is stepped down or up.

  • Each cable in Slot 1 divides the input voltage.
  • Each cable in Slot 3 multiplies the voltage.
  • There must be at least one cable in each slot for the transformer to function.
  • If you put the same amount of cable in each slot there is not difference and the voltage stays the same.

Example

Imagine you input 50V and want to output 200V. You would place 1 copper cable in Slot 1 and 4 copper cables in Slot 3, because:

200 ÷ 50 = 4

Customization

Slot 4 allows you to add a case to the transformer to hide its internal components.
