** Enhancers increase the efficiency of [[Fuel_chamber|fuel chambers]] and [[Cooling_rack|cooling racks]].
* There are three tiers on the enhancement modules.
** Tier 1 casts a ray that can reach 96 cm (only the module it is attached to).
** Tier 2 that casts a ray that can reach 192 cm (possibly two modules).
** Tier 3 that casts a ray that can reach 288 cm (possibly three modules).
* If several rays are hitting the same module, there will be extra benefit, but with diminishing returns.
** There is no benefit past 3 enhancers.

Basic Information

Enhancers are used to quickly boost the rate of production of electricity in a generator unit by increasing the efficiency with which they utilize fuel, and can be easily turned on and off with YOLOL. However, while a generator unit with an attached and activated enhancer unit will produce significantly more electricity, it will also suffer an exponential increase in heat output. While an enhancer can be used to maximize power output (for as long as the cooling performance can keep up), it can also be used to boost efficiency at lower generation states, allowing the production of power at a comparatively lower fuel cost -- though, this will still generate extra heat. Enhancers affect the generation of heat by adding to the quantity of heat tokens held by the device to which they are attached.

It should be noted that, though enhancers increase the heat potential of a generator system, enhancers themselves are unaffected by heat.

Tier 1 +3 +1
Tier 2 +4 +2
Tier 3 +5 +3


The number of electricity production tokens a generator unit has directly affects the boost applied to its output, as shown below:
