Energy Condenser is the Ala Industrial block that catches the power a base would otherwise lose: when the generators outproduce the machines, the leftover electricity simply vanishes. The condenser banks that surplus instead — up to 4,000,000 EU, exactly eight Teleporter buffers — and pays it back as one item, an energy clot. Intake is deliberately narrow at 128 EU/t (one MV packet), and the clot ladder is steep: a tier-I clot requires 250,000 banked EU, tier II 1,000,000, tier III 4,000,000 — each step four times the one below. The tier is fixed by how full the bank is at the moment of extraction, and taking the clot spends the whole bank: pull it at 950,000 EU and you get tier I while the 700,000 above its price burn.
Energy Condenser cannot get in the factory's way: the grid serves it last, it cannot pull a single EU out of a Battery Box, and on a starved grid the orb simply stands still. Cable connects only to the top and bottom faces, while the clot leaves by hand, hopper or pipe through a side face. There is no upgrade panel — an overclocker would turn this surplus-sipper into a pump on the grid — so scaling means more condensers, not upgrades. Craft the block from 4 Iron Plates, 3 Gold Ingots, 1 Battery and 1 Electronic Circuit; at the full 128 EU/t intake a tier-III bank fills in about 26 minutes. Energy Condenser is the only source of energy clots, the material every Overclocker Chip is built from, and works identically on Fabric and NeoForge in Minecraft 26.2 (Java Edition).
