Field Guide
Outbound Energy
Energy in Outbound powers your electric vehicle through 6 different sources including solar panels, wind turbines, and generators. Each source has different efficiency characteristics, and some must be unlocked through exploration downloads before you can use them.
6 power sources
Solar Panel
solar-panel
Sources energy from the sun to charge your electric vehicle. Park it, charge it, chase the horizon. Just don't park in the shade!
Efficient Solar Panel
efficient-solar-panel
Sources energy from the sun more efficiently to charge your electric vehicle. Should be placed in direct sun light.
Wind Turbine
wind-turbine
Sources energ from the wind to charge your electric vehicle. Let the wind do all the heavy lifting while you relax. The windier the better!
Efficient Bio Burner
efficient-bio-burner
Burns organic material more efficiently to create energy to charge your electric vehicle.
Generator
generator
Always charges the battery of your electric vehicle. Much slower charging compared to wind or sun energy.
Efficient Wind Turbine
efficient-wind-turbine
Sources energy from wind more efficiently to charge your electric vehicle. The more wind there is, the more energy it generates.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does energy work in Outbound?
- Outbound has 6 energy sources that charge your electric van. Each source generates power differently: solar panels need sunlight, generators burn fuel, and wind turbines require wind. You can combine multiple sources to keep your van charged through varied weather conditions.
- What is the best power source in Outbound?
- The best power source in Outbound depends on your playstyle and current biome. Solar panels are efficient in sunny areas but useless at night. Generators provide consistent power but consume fuel. Mixing sources gives the most reliable energy supply for long trips across different biomes.
