What a capacitor changes

Every powered machine needs a capacitor, and its level decides how hard the machine works. A double-layer capacitor is level 2 and an octadic one level 3, and machines scale with the square of the level: the octadic capacitor makes a SAG Mill draw nine times the power and finish each recipe nine times faster. The energy per recipe stays the same, so a better capacitor costs nothing extra in the long run; it only needs a power supply that can keep up.

Generators scale differently. The Stirling Generator's output rises only linearly with the level, from 40 to 120 uI/t, but the capacitor also improves its fuel efficiency by a fifth per level, so an octadic Stirling gets more than four times the energy out of each piece of coal than a basic one. uI is the mod's name for its energy unit and converts one to one with FE.
