	* '''~~Oilsands~~''' are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s. You can walk through them, but occasional ~~oilpatches~~ will slow you to a crawl. An [[offshore pump]] can be placed on the edge of ~~oilsands~~ to produce an unlimited amount of [[heavy oil]]. ~~<!-- Are they oilsands or oillands? -->~~		* '''Oil sands''' or '''oil oceans'''<!-- "Oil sands" in FFF-399, "Oil oceans" in-game --> are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s. You can walk through them, but occasional '''deep oil oceans''' will slow you to a crawl.

	=== ~~Terrain~~ ===		=== Oil oceans ===
	Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of [[~~Oil~~ ocean~~\|oillands~~]], on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the ~~oillands~~ is possible, but slow. The ~~oillands~~ are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built until [[rail support foundations (research)]] is researched.		Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of [[oil ocean]]s, on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the ocean is possible, but slow. The oceans are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built until [[rail support foundations (research)]] is researched.

	~~However, the oillands are also scattered with islands of various sizes, on which normal construction is possible. At first~~, ~~these are the only place on Fulgora where factories can be built, as~~ [[foundation]] for building on top of the ~~oillands requires research that can not be performed until much later~~.		Much later, [[foundation]] can be researched, which allows for building on top of the oceans.

			=== Plateaus ===
	The islands come in three size classes:		The islands come in three size classes:
	* Small islands ~~with high amounts~~ of ~~resources, but with little room to build on~~		* Small islands always have a [[Fulgoran vault ruin]], usually other [[Fulgoran ruin\|ruins]], and a massive amount of [[scrap]] in a dense pile.
	* Medium islands ~~with lower amounts~~ of ~~resources,~~ and with ~~sufficient room for a small factory~~		* Medium islands have a large amount of smaller ruins and usually scattered patches with much smaller amount of scrap.
	* Large islands with no resources~~, but with enough room to build the main part of~~ a ~~medium-sized factory~~		* Large islands with no resources other than some [[fulgorite]] and a few ruins.

	It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island ~~that does have local resources~~. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network\|logistic]] and [[electric system\|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].

	Since lightning strikes each chunk once per 10 seconds on average, that means that each chunk can generate 200/400 MJ per strike. Since the storm spans 90 seconds, that converts to 1.8/3.6 GJ per chunk per cycle. Since a cycle span 360 seconds, that converts to an averaged 5/10 MW per chunk (10/20 MW production for the active half of the cycle). For reference a theoretically ideal chunk of accumulators (so no electrical poles or anything else, just a pure 16x16 grid of accumulators) has an electrical density of 1.28 GJ (16 x 16 x 5). This means the gross production of electricity from lightning exceeds what is possible to store with base quality accumulators even with the lowest 20% efficiency.

	In practice though we are assuming are factory maintains a static linear power draw during both day and night, meaning we are only trying to store half the lightning with the rest being used immediately, and possibly a little extra buffer. This means the ratio of accumulator capacity to lightning energy is actually adequate when using lightning rods.

This means the ratio of accumulator capacity to lightning energy is actually adequate when using lightning rods.

			An alternative way to view power using lightning is that each accumulator needs to store power for 180 seconds of uptime (half a cycle), meaning each accumulator at 5000 kJ effectively offers you 27.7... kW of usable power. Since every chunk offers you 5/10 MW, and each accumulator offers you 5 MJ, you effectively need 180/360 accumulators per chunk to match under ideal conditions. 180 accumulators is ~70% of the chunk's total size. This also establishes that for every 1 MW you need 36 accumulators somewhere in your factory

	Water can also be imported from off planet if supply is a significant issue.

It is recommended to liquify the ice in orbit and then drop it in barrels.

	Remember for reference that lightning power has density of just ~4.88/~9.77 kW (not MW) per tile and is second to last only beating solar power. Also this number is raw energy, and does not take into consideration your ability to actually capture/store said energy.

That means we can continue to consider this hypothetical equivalent as a 16x16 grid of accumulators, and since this is currently only an area/footprint calculation we can assume the necessary substations and lightning harvesters are included.

			Every thunderbolt contains 1 GJ of energy, which is then extracted at the lightning rod/collectors efficiency rating (e.g. the base efficiency of a lightning rod is 20%, making the energy extracted 200 MW per bolt collected)

			=== Lightning Power ===
			According to the above mechanics section, lightning strikes a chunk (defined as a 32x32 tile region) once every 10 seconds. Presumably it chooses a random tile within that section, and if a lightning rod is present in said chunk it strikes that instead. The exact mechanism is not clear, and there is also Lightning Reach modifying the selection/range, but in simple terms we can consider it this way until more detailed information is added.

			Every thunderbolt contains 1 GJ of raw energy, which can then be harnessed at the stated efficiency of the lightning rod/collector (20%/40%). Both the coverage range and efficiency can be improved with quality, this will not be considered currently and will be added at a later time.

			Since lightning strikes each chunk once per 10 seconds on average, that means that each chunk can generate 200/400 MJ per strike. Since the storm spans 90 seconds, that converts to 1.8/3.6 GJ per chunk per cycle. Since a cycle span 360 seconds, that converts to an averaged 5/10 MW per chunk (10/20 MW production for the active half of the cycle). For reference a theoretically ideal chunk of accumulators (so no electrical poles or anything else, just a pure 16x16 grid of accumulators) has an electrical density of 1.28 GJ (16 x 16 x 5). This means the gross production of electricity from lightning exceeds what is possible to store with base quality accumulators even with the lowest 20% efficiency.

This means the ratio of accumulator capacity to lightning energy is actually adequate when using lightning rods.

			These calculations are theoretical and awaiting empirical confirmation

			Note about drain: The lightning rods claim to have a drain of 150 MW, but this seems to work fundamentally differently to normal drain on every other electrical item. This 150 MW is not actually drained from the electrical grid as the name implies, as verified by the power panel, and its actual role in our calculations above is currently unclear

			=== Alternative Power ===

	The lightning mechanic offers free electricity, but this is not always adequate on its own and it may be desirable to setup auxiliary or backup power for when accumulators run low. The primary considerations or limiting factors to setting up power generation are water, and physical space due to the lack of usable land on the surface.

	Using boilers with solid fuel offers 0.3 MW per unit of water, and offers an energy density of 0.05 per tile of surface area (36 tiles for two steam engines and a boiler).		Using boilers with solid fuel offers 0.3 MW per unit of water, and offers an energy density of 0.05 MW per tile of surface area (36 tiles for two steam engines and a boiler).

	Using a heat exchanger offers 0.97 MW per unit of water. To calculate the space efficiency as an ideal, we take the least common multiple that gives us a perfect ratio of heat exchangers to steam turbines, which is effectively 60 heat exchangers paired with 103 turbines. That gives a total area of 1905, and the 103 turbines generate 599.46 MW, meaning the ideal per tile density of energy is ~0.31468, slightly better than regular boilers. This assumes ideal conditions and maximal utilization though, which is unlikely in practice. Also unlike the the boilers which produce their own heat, this setup will require additional space usage to create heat. Given the low practical likelihood of getting ideal utilization combined with the additional appendage requirement, we can declaratively say this is the less space efficient option, though it is significantly more water efficient.

	Regarding heat production, heating towers offer 4.4... MW per tile, making them initially superior to nuclear at 1.6 MW per tile for a single reactor, but at scale due to the neighbor bonus nuclear can achieve higher energy density. Any reactor array larger than 1x2 will effectively achieve a higher energy density than heating towers. Using reactors will require importing fuel since its not natively available on planet. Nuclear fuel offers 400 GJ per stack or 80 GJ per rocket. Meanwhile solid fuel offers 1.5 GJ per stack with the heating tower efficiency bonus, but is extremely abundant on planet.

	Solar panels do not require any water, but receive an 80% penalty on ~~fulgora~~, producing only 12 kW, or ~1.3 kW per tile. Note this is in kW, not MW. Given that fuel is abundant and space is limited and water is not impossible to acquire, this makes solar effectively worthless on Fulgora.

			To recap:
			- Heat Exchangers are ~3x more water efficient than boilers
			- Boilers are roughly the same if not better in terms of density
			- Solar panels should be avoided, effectively replaced by lightning

	~~To recap:~~		=== Optimization Tips ===
	~~- Boilers~~ are more ~~efficient for density~~		Fulgora has no pollution mechanic, and an overabundance of fuel. If electricity problems arise due to lack of power generation, burners are significantly more viable on Fulgora than in the base game and can help ease electrical consumption. Using burner miners, burner inserters, and steel furnaces can significantly ease electrical consumption as long as modules aren't required and throughput doesn't become an issue. This also helps use up excess solid fuel
	~~- Heat exchangers are more efficient for water usage~~
	~~- Solar panels should be avoided~~.

	It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island that does have local resources. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network\|logistic]] and [[electric system\|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].
