Composition

Generators are one of the most important parts of a spaceship, as they convert fuel into electrical energy in an efficient process. They are extremely modular, and can be configured into complexes of many different shapes and sizes - however, for each adjacent generator, the heat output is also increased.

Basic Usage

  • Receives Processed Fuel from the fuel chamber and converts it to Power.
    • This process also generates Heat.
    • NOTE! The generators will constantly consume Processed fuel, wasting excess Power unless their ConversionRateLimit is modified via YOLOL
  • There are six connectors, one on each side.
  • Other modules can be attached to the connectors.
    • For every adjacent generator unit, extra heat will be generated.
  • Produces 1000 units of electricity per second, if enough fuel is available.
  • One fuel rod can support three tier one (T1) or tier two (T2) generator units, or 3000 units of electricity per second. (Verification requested from CA tester for tier 2)
  • Five fuel rods can (theoretically) support twelve tier three (T3) generator units at 15,000 units of electricity, while it would take 15 tier one (T1) or tier 2 (T2) generators to sustain such generation.
    • With an enhanced fuel chamber, a fuel rod can support more generator units.

Device fields

YOLOL field Description Range
GeneratorUnitRateLimit Upper limit for conversion rate for this generator block 0 - 100
GeneratorUnitRate Current conversion rate for this generator block. Conversion is being performed at 1 conversion * this percentage per second. 0 - 100
