Usage:[]
A flux capacitor is used by linking its <part with an energy consuming part's >energy_source in the visual programming screen. At the moment, they are not required to be physically connected with each other in order to work.
The higher its >capacitance is set, the more energy can be stored, but there is a given maximum value and a constant charge rate.
The state of a capacitor can be seen by its glow. An unlit capacitor is empty, a flashing capacitor is charging, and a fully lit capacitor is charged. However, there is no way to determine the current ammount of stored energy yet (<capacity output requested on the froum).
