			Energy Pods are a commonly used technique to improve the efficiency of producing Energy as well as keeping extra resources off of [[Roads_and_Paths\|roads]].<br>

			There are many configurations and often the available space determines of the best placement method. There are [[Optimization\|optimized]] set-ups that have been determined through testing, experience, and input from others. A visit to [https://discord.com/invite/thecolonists The Colonists Discord] is a great place to start.

			===Example===
			The example below shows different uses of [[Roads_and_Paths\|roads and paths]] for an Energy L1 Pod (left) and an Energy L2 Pod (right).<br>

			On the left, the [[Roads_and_Paths#Paths\|paths]] allow the [[Sheep_Farm\|Sheep Farm]] and [[Well\|Well]] stackbots to deliver [[Meat\|meat]] and [[Water\|water]] to each [[Residence_L1\|residence]] directly. Then each [[Residence_L1\|residence]] stackbot delivers the Energy to the [[Roads_and_Paths#Roads_+_Road_Posts\|road post]] to be routed throughout your colony. Using this method keeps the high demands of [[Meat\|meat]] and [[Water\|water]] off of the main [[Roads_and_Paths\|roads]].

			On the right, the [[Roads_and_Paths#Paths\|roads]] within the energy pod change the delivery of the resources needed. The [[Sheep_Farm\|Sheep Farm]], [[Well\|Well]] and [[Cider_Press\|Cider Press]] stackbots deliver [[Meat\|meat]], [[Water\|water]], and [[Cider\|cider]] to the first [[Roads_and_Paths#Roads_+_Road_Posts\|road post]] nearest the [[Residence_L2\|residence]] with demand. The [[Orchard\|Apple Orchard's]] stackbot delivers [[Apples\|apples]] directly to the [[Cider_Press\|Cider Press]] using the [[Roads_and_Paths#Paths\|path]]. Then each [[Residence_L2\|residence]] stackbot delivers the Energy to the [[Roads_and_Paths#Roads_+_Road_Posts\|road post]] that it is connected to. The carrybots then move the [[Resource\|resources]] between [[Roads_and_Paths#Roads_+_Road_Posts\|road posts]]. This method also keeps the high demands of [[Meat\|meat]], [[Water\|water]], [[Apples\|apples]], and [[Cider\|cider]] off of the main [[Roads_and_Paths\|roads]].<br>
