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
- NOTE! tier 1 generator parts are not compatable with Tier 2 or 3.
- Tier 2 and tier 3 parts are compatable.
- 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.
- Generators produce heat proportinal to their unit rate.
- For every adjacent generator unit, extra heat will be generated.
- Adjacency heat, for all tiers, and from 1 unit to 6, is as follows: 25, 55, 95, 145, 205, 280.
- See heat and cooling for more info.
- T1 and T2 units produce 1000 units of electricity per second, if enough fuel is available, T3 units can produce 1250 units of electricity per second.
- One fuel rod can support three generator units, or 3000 units of electricity per second, without enhancement.
- With an enhanced fuel chamber, a fuel rod can support more generator units. See enhancers for more info.
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 |
