- "Stores electricity."
Where Found
A flywheel is created at a workbench (of level 3) for 1 steel block, 1 copper block, 1 electric motor, and 10 copper wires.
Use
There is no crafting possible with just a flywheel. Instead, it takes in and stores electricity from connected solar panels or steam generators. Tapping on a flywheel will bring up a menu with options to remove it or access it.
Accessing a flywheel will display a bar measure showing how much power it's currently storing.
When connected electrically to a crafting surface that requires electricity and is in use, a flywheel will begin releasing power and supplying electricity until either the demand ends or its stored power runs out. As a steam generator will provide power on demand, a flywheel will draw on it until it's "full" or the generator runs out of power.
Fuel
Flywheels do not consume items as fuel.
