Power Blocks are essential for powering a megabase, utilizing EARN Service Trains for construction. The blueprints provided are compatible with EARN 20.

Boiler Block (Author: MisterGrimmJaw)

Boilers are your initial solution for base power needs. This layout supports either wood or coal as fuel.

Power Output: 216 MW with 240 Steam Engines.

Solar Block

The Solar Block has two versions, one with a built-in solar service station. When connected via roboports, this initial block supports the construction of additional adjacent solar blocks. Accumulators are included to handle the day/night cycle on Nauvis.

Power Output:
- Solar Block with Service Station: 61.26 MW
  - 1,021 Solar Panels & 869 Accumulators (Ratio: 0.8511).
- Solar Block: 62.40 MW
  - 1,040 Solar Panels & 888 Accumulators (Ratio: 0.8538).

Fission Reactor Block

The Nuclear Block uses Uranium Fuel Cells to power its 8 Nuclear Reactors. Offshore Pumps are integrated within the blueprint to minimize pipe usage. Consequently, this blueprint must be built on water or with a mod that modifies Offshore Pumps.

Power Output: 1.12 GW

This block has two stages to ensure all pumps are positioned inside the water. You can use CTRL+Shift+ Left Click

First Stage: Minimum landfill to set up the service station and tracks. It also has rectangular areas where pumps will be placed.
Final Stage: Full fission reactor layout.
