Electrical Age: Re-Wired

NOTE: Still in Alpha, may not be ready for survival gameplay! And please, backup your worlds, altough corruption is unlikely, a crash could make your world unplayable until we fix it!

_Real Physics. Real Danger. Real Engineering._

Have you ever felt that most tech mods are too simple? That “energy” is just a magic number that flows through pipes? Electrical Age: Re-Wired is here to change that. This is the definitive 1.12.2 port and modern overhaul of the
legendary Electrical Age mod (maintained 1.7.10 fork).

In this mod, electricity isn’t just a number—it follows the laws of physics. You aren’t just placing blocks; you’re building a living, breathing power grid.

🔌 A Real Power Grid

Forget simple “Energy Units.” Here you have to manage Voltage, Current, and Resistance.

• Don’t Blow It Up: If you plug a 50V lightbulb directly into an 800V high-voltage line, it won’t just “not work” – it will explode.
• Step Up & Down: Use transformers and DC-DC converters to manage power across long distances, just like a real-world city.
• Resistive Loss: Long cables have resistance. Plan your wiring carefully to ensure power actually reaches your machines!

🔥 Thermal Management

Some machines aren’t just “on” or “off.” They generate heat.

• If your power plant runs without cooling, it will overheat and explode.
• Build cooling systems using passive heat sinks or active heatsink fans to keep your plant running smoothly.

☀ Harness the Elements

Generate power using a huge variety of detailed components:

• Solar Power: From small roof panels to massive 2×3 arrays that actually track the sun across the sky.
• Wind & Water: Build turbines and water wheels that react to the environment.
• Coal Heat Furnaces: Harness the power of the furnace to heat turbines, and generate power from coal and heat!
• Industrial Turbines: Build massive steam or gas-powered generators for end-game power needs.

🤖 Advanced Automation & Gadgets

• The Auto-Miner: The iconic mining rig is back! Deploy a massive drill head and watch it procedurally excavate your world.
• Sensors & Probes: Use voltage probes, light sensors, and entity detectors to automate your base.
• Logic Gates: A full suite of chips (AND, OR, XOR) and analog components (PID regulators) lets you build computers out of pure electricity.
• 3D Visuals: Every component uses high-quality 3D models, giving your base a unique, industrial laboratory aesthetic.

🚀 Built for 1.12.2

This isn’t just a copy-paste port. We’ve rebuilt the core of the mod to be faster and more stable:

• Modern Performance: Rewritten in Kotlin for better compatibility with modern modpacks.
• CleanroomMC Ready: Optimized to run on modern Java versions (8 through 21+).
• Classic Feel: All the original mechanics you loved, now polished and ready for your 1.12.2 world.

🛠 Compatibility

We play nice with others!

• Ore Dictionary: Works with Copper, Lead, and Tungsten from other mods.
• OpenComputers/ComputerCraft: Hook up your grid to a computer for the ultimate automated control room.
