Outbound Energy Guide

Outbound energy is the system that keeps your electric van charged and your base running. With 10 power-related buildings - from solar panels and wind turbines to bio burners and battery workstations - you can build a power grid that handles any weather. Each source has different kW output, crafting cost, and weather dependency.

Solar Panel

Sources energy from the sun to charge your electric vehicle. Park it, charge it, chase the horizon. Just don't park in the shade!

Efficient Wind Turbine

Sources energy from wind more efficiently to charge your electric vehicle. The more wind there is, the more energy it generates.

How Does Energy Work in Outbound?

How does energy work in Outbound?

Outbound has power sources that charge your electric van. Solar panels produce 3.0 kW in sunlight, wind turbines generate 3.0 kW from wind, rainwater turbines harness rain for 3.0 kW, and bio burners convert lumber/fibre into steady power at 1.5-3.0 kW regardless of weather. Combine multiple sources to stay charged through varied weather.

What is the best power source in Outbound?

For pure output, Solar Panels, Wind Turbines, and Rainwater Turbines all produce 3.0 kW. Solar is cheapest (5 Scrap Metal) but only works in sunlight. Wind Turbines (5 Fibre) work day and night. Bio Burners provide weather-independent backup. The best strategy is mixing source types for complete weather coverage.

What does super efficiency mean in Outbound?

Some power sources - Efficient Solar Panel, Efficient Wind Turbine, and Generator - can enter a super-efficient state under optimal conditions, producing more than their rated kW output. This makes the efficient variants particularly valuable for high-demand bases.

How do I craft batteries in Outbound?

Build a Battery Workstation (2 Electronics + 4 Sheet Metal). It has two recipes: Battery Components (1 Electronics + 2 Sheet Metal + 4 Bolts, 24s) and Power Cells (4 Battery Components + 2 Metal T3 + 4 Thread T3, 24s). Power Cells are used for vehicle Battery Capacity Upgrades.
