Supplying power

A generator supplies FE to the Controller’s dedicated electrical socket. Connect it with an FE cable, or place a compatible source directly against that input. This is the only external energy entry for the Nebula network.

From the Controller onward, the Nebula cable carries the network and its internal energy together. Connect the Server, Terminal and Nebula production machines at their shared square Nebula socket. These connected devices do not need a second electrical cable.

The Server’s PSU limits the energy its hardware can use; it is not a generator. The first complete NX Compact setup consumes up to 7 FE/t while coordinating work, so a PSU-8 is sufficient with default balancing. After an upgrade, check the Server’s required power against its PSU rating. A full energy reserve cannot compensate for an undersized PSU.

If the reserve falls over time, generation is lower than total consumption. Check the Controller input and the generator output, then watch the energy history in Monitoring. Nebula production uses this reserve as well as the Server hardware. A third-party machine left in the world still needs its own native FE, EU, fuel or other supply; connecting its External Interface does not replace that supply.

Hover over the connection status in the header for the power diagnosis. External FE enters through the Controller’s electrical socket; also check that the Server has a suitable PSU.
