Description
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
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. The generator should therefore be one of the first things to automate, either with logic chips or IC10 code.
Energy storage
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
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 |
