Generator

The Generator.

Generators are used to either supply direct power to machines or charge EU Storage devices. Generators are a must-have to get off to a good start in a new world by supplying power to lower-tier and basic machines.

The EMC of a Generator is 3274.5

Fuel Source

The basic Generators operate on conventional fuel, which includes most wooden items, Charcoal, Coal, Coalfuel Cells, Biofuel Cells, certain plants, and Scrap. While costly in terms of fuel, basic generators are also one of the most mobile power sources, and don't suffer the drawbacks of requiring sunlight, water, lava, or proper wind as the case is with the other types of generators.

When wired up to a machine, the generator will power it until it runs out of power. It is more effective to use Charcoal instead of Coal, as its EMC value is 32 as opposed to Coal's 128. Its block ID is 246.

Block Usage

A Generator supplying EU to a BatBox that is subsequently powering a Macerator.

A huge array of over 500 generators can provide over 5000 eu/t with a relatively simple charcoal supply system.

To use, place one of the compatible fuels in the lower slot. The generator will output power at a rate of 10 EU/t. You can also charge RE Batteries by placing them in the top slot. For a fuel to automatically be supplied through a transport pipe into the bottom slot, the pipe must be connected to the bottom side of the Generator.
