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]].

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 (per Unit burnt)
Coal 5 s 200 kJ (55.5 Wh)
Charcoal 1 s ¹ 40 kJ (11.1 Wh) ¹
SolidFuel 10 s 400 kJ (111 Wh)

¹ The machine has a minimum runtime of 3 seconds. Burning one unit of charcoal (stack size = 1) generates a total of 120 kJ (33.3 Wh).

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 90 units ¹
SolidFuel 9 units

¹ Burning charcoal efficiently (stack size = 1) reduces this value to 30 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
