A large capacitor bank that stores surplus electrical energy generated by Solar Panels, Turbines, or Thermal Plants when demand is low, then releases it automatically when generator output falls below base demand. The Power Storage is what keeps your base oxygenated through the night or during solar blackouts. Recipe requires Germanium Ingot (processed from Silver or Lead), making it a mid-game investment.

Notes
Function: Stores surplus power; discharges automatically when generator output < base demand.
Tips:
- Essential if using Solar Panels as primary power — Solar drops to ~1/sec at night, which is often below base draw.
- Build at least one Power Storage per base before leaving it unsupervised overnight.
- Recipe needs [germanium-ingot] (Processor: 2× Silver or 2× Lead) — plan the Silver or Lead farming run first.
