| Mod | Environmental Tech |
| Type | Multiblock machine |
The Lightning Rod is a multiblock structure added by Environmental Tech. It can generate massive amounts of Forge Energy from lightning strikes, and comes in 6 tiers.
Energy Generation[]
Every 1600 ticks to 3200 ticks (400 ticks to 800 ticks during a Thunderstorm), the topmost Lightning Rod has a chance to be struck by Lightning. When that happens, a random amount of Forge Energy is generated and stored in the Lightning Controller, which can be then extracted from the bottom face.
The stats of each tier of Lightning Rod are as follow:
| Controller Tier | Chance to be struck | Minimum FE generated | Maximum FE generated | Average FE/t | Average FE/t (thunderstorm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 60% | 93,750 | 750,000 | 105 | 421 |
| 2 | 55% | 281,250 | 2,250,000 | 290 | 1,160 |
| 3 | 50% | 1,312,500 | 10,500,000 | 1,230 | 4,921 |
| 4 | 45% | 5,062,500 | 40,500,000 | 4,271 | 17,085 |
| 5 | 40% | 19,500,000 | 156,000,000 | 14,625 | 58,500 |
| 6 | 35% | 74,250,000 | 594,000,000 | 48,726 | 194,906 |
