Ultimate Energy System (UES) is a modular, gameplay-focused power framework for Unity, designed for survival, automation, sandbox, crafting, simulation, and base-building games.

UES allows developers to create clean, predictable, and scalable power networks using generators, batteries, switches, sensors, splitters, combiners, fuse boxes, and fully interactive wiring systems — all without the complexity of real-world electrical simulation.

Built with gameplay first in mind, UES focuses on clarity, control, and extensibility.

⚡ Designed for Real Gameplay

UES uses a directional energy flow model:

• Generators push energy into the network
• Consumers receive energy from the network
• Distribution devices control and redirect the flow
• Logic devices control automation and behavior

This creates a system that is:

✔ Easy to understand
✔ Easy to debug
✔ Predictable during gameplay
✔ Safe to scale into large networks
✔ Flexible enough for automation-heavy projects

No hidden magic.
No unpredictable balancing.
Full developer control.
