The solid generator requires [[Coal|coal]] or [[Charcoal|charcoal]], the latter is renewable. It will output 20kW of power per game-tick, each Coal burns for 10 ticks and each Charcoal burns for up to 6 ticks (but less if a stack is used).

The generator is not on-demand, meaning that it will burn the fuel even if nothing is using the power. Without a [[Stationary Battery|stationary battery]] most of the power generated by a Solid Generator will be lost. An [[Area Power Controller|area power controller]]([[Area Power Controller|APC]]) can charge its attached battery with 1 kW per tick, a [[Battery Charger Small|small battery charger]] can take 400W in each slot and a [[Battery Charger|battery charger]] can take 500W in each slot.

This generator outputs energy dependent on the demand, up to 20kW. In particular, it can be connected to a [[Cable Coil|cable coil]] if the demand is up to 5kW. Higher demand requires a [[Cable_Coil_(Heavy)|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.

It's possible to use the regular [[Cable Coil|cable coil]] as long as 5kW or less of the power produced is used. This is because a cable will only burn when the power usage exceeds its limit, it will never burn from a high power generation. A Stationary Battery will always take all the power that is available, which in this case means 20kW, only a [[Cable_Coil_(Heavy)|heavy cable coil]] can handle that much.

The Solid Generator have no connection for a waste pipe, all the hot exhaust gases are just released around it. This will kill plants and harm non-robotic player characters, so it's best used outdoors or in an airtight room. When Coal is burned, each one will release 10 mol of CO2 and 3 mol of X. When Charcoal is burned, each one will release 3 mol of CO2 and 3 mol of X.

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
