Calculating Consumption
If you want to calculate the cost of dialing between 2 specific gates, you may have a heart attack or a stroke or even both due to the complex nature of the calculations. Fear not however! The JSG team has given us wisdom!
You can use the JSG Energy Calculator to figure out how much energy is needed to dial your destination. Just put your Dimension Config and Stargate Config into the tool, edit the data(gate type, gate position and dimensions etc, etc) and BOOM! You now see how much FE you need to complete your dial!
This tool could be useful in helping you determine whether a gate is in range of your current gate or you will need to get closer.
