# Energy and Recharge Mechanism

When a fleet runs out of energy, players must consume **$MECHA** to recharge. The recharge cost is determined by the number of mechas currently equipped in the fleet. The more mechas a fleet carries, the more **$**&#x55;SD&#x54;**-denominated $MECHA** is required for recharge.

In other words, a stronger fleet with more mechas will have a higher recharge cost. This mechanism ensures that fleets capable of earning higher rewards from later planets also carry higher energy costs, helping maintain the balance of the **$MECHA** economy.

#### Recharge Cost Logic

The recharge cost is directly related to the number of mechas equipped in the fleet:

**Single Recharge Cost = Number of Equipped Mechas in the Fleet × Base Recharge Price per Mecha**

Where:

* The more mechas equipped in the fleet, the higher the recharge cost.
* The fewer mechas equipped in the fleet, the lower the recharge cost.
* The recharge cost is calculated in **$**&#x55;SDT value and paid with the equivalent amount of **$MECHA**.
* The base recharge price per mecha can be determined according to the final economic model.

#### Recharge Package Options

Players can choose from different recharge packages:

| Recharge Package | Recharge Times Received | Discount Rule    |
| ---------------: | ----------------------: | ---------------- |
|       1 Recharge |                  1 time | No discount      |
|      7 Recharges |                 7 times | No discount      |
|     15 Recharges |                15 times | Pay for 14 times |
|     30 Recharges |                30 times | Pay for 27 times |

The **15-recharge package** includes a discount and only requires payment for **14 recharges**. The **30-recharge package** includes a larger discount and only requires payment for **27 recharges**. The **1-recharge** and **7-recharge** packages do not include any discount.

#### Recharge Rules Summary

1. When fleet energy is depleted, players must use **$MECHA** to recharge.
2. The recharge cost is calculated based on the number of mechas equipped in the fleet.
3. The more mechas the fleet carries, the more **$**&#x55;SDT-denominated **$MECHA** is required.
4. Players can choose 1, 7, 15, or 30 recharge times.
5. The 1-recharge package has no discount.
6. The 7-recharge package has no discount.
7. The 15-recharge package is charged as 14 recharges.
8. The 30-recharge package is charged as 27 recharges.
9. Recharge only accepts **$MECHA** .

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mechanova.gitbook.io/mechanova-docs/energy-and-recharge-mechanism.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
