The generator is not on-demand, meaning if you put in 50 [[Coal|coal]], it will burn 50 [[Coal|coal]] with the power potentially vanishing. An [[Area Power Controller|area power controller]]([[Area Power Controller|APC]]) will allow you to charge a [[Stationary Battery|battery]] to help capture some of the wasted energy. The [[Area Power Controller|APC]] you will only charge 1kW of power to the connected [[Stationary Battery|battery]] (plus any downstream loads), effectively wasting about 95% of your [[Coal|coal]].

Like the [[Gas_Generator|gas generator]], '''solid fuel generator''' seems to need atmosphere to run, otherwise it will start and stop even if the power button is ON (game version: 0.1.1564.7373).  This is no longer the case as of version 0.2.2396.10846, but you might be wasting exhaust gases?.

Description[edit]

A machine that converts solid fuel to energy. It generates up to 20 kW per game-tick (40 kJ/s).

Fuel Time to burn Total energy
Coal 5 s 200 kJ (55.5 kWh)
Charcoal 3 s 60 kJ (16.6 kWh)
SolidFuel 6 s 400 kJ (111 kWh)

Generation[edit]

This generator outputs energy dependent on the demand, up to 20kW. In particular, it can be connected to a cable coil if the demand is up to 5kW. Higher demand requires a heavy cable coil. Demands lower than 20kW result in an energy loss, as this generator burns fuel at a constant rate independent of the demand.

Energy storage[edit]

This generator fully charges a station battery (with a heavy cable coil) with the following:

Fuel Amount
Coal 18 units
Charcoal 60 units
SolidFuel 9 units

Waste[edit]

This generator exhaust gases to its surroundings as follows:

Fuel Carbon Dioxide Pollutant
Coal 10 mol 3 mol
Charcoal 3 mol 3 mol
SolidFuel 5 mol 20 mol
