VoltWorks 1.0.5 — First Public Release

NEW

The wait is over — VoltWorks has officially launched. This first major release introduces the complete foundation of the electricity system, core machines, power generation, storage, transmission, and industrial automation.

New: Electricity System

Added the Volt (V) energy system with real-time power flow simulation.
Added Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV), and High Voltage (HV) networks.
Added cable resistance, power loss, and overload protection.
Added transformers for voltage conversion and grid balancing.

Power Generation

Generator	Output
Hand Crank Dynamo	8 V/t
Coal Steam Engine	64 V/t
Water Turbine	48 V/t
Wind Turbine	32–128 V/t
Solar Panel	24 V/t daytime
Geothermal Generator	96 V/t
Fusion Test Reactor	1024 V/t

Energy Storage

Added Basic Battery Box (100kV capacity).
Added Industrial Battery Bank (2MV capacity).
Added Grid Capacitor (10MV capacity).
Added portable battery items that can charge tools and equipment.

Machines & Automation

23 machines added, including:

Electric Furnace
Macerator
Crusher
