Fuel chamber
Revision as of 16:07, 20 June 2024 by Askannon (talk | contribs) (→added runtime for Fuelrods/Fuelchambers)
Fuel chambers are an integral part of generators, as they convert raw fuel from fuel rods and deliver processed fuel to generator units.
Basic Usage
- NOTE! tier 1 generator parts are not compatible with Tier 2 or 3.
- Tier 2 and tier 3 parts are compatible.
- Receives Raw Fuel from the fuel rod and converts it to Processed Fuel.
- This process also generates Heat.
- Distributes Processed Fuel to generator units.
- There are nine connectors, two on each long side and one on the "back" side of the chamber.
- Other modules can be attached to the connectors.
- Fuel chambers produce heat proportional to their unit rate.
- For every adjacent generator unit or fuel chamber, extra heat will be generated.
- See heat mechanics for more info.
- T1 fuel chambers require a nhurgite fuel rod, T2 and T3 fuel chambers require an exorium fuel rod.
- One fuel rod can support three generator units, or 3000 (3750 for T3) units of electricity per second.
- Enhancers have no effect on the fuel chamber.

Runtime
| Generator amount | Fuel usage | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30/s | 10050 |
| 2 | 60/s | 5050 |
| 3 | 90/s | 3383.33s |
| Generator amount | Fuel usage | Runtime |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20/s | 15050s |
| 2 | 40/s | 7550s |
| 3 | 60/s | 5050s |
The formula used for the above tables is
Fuel_usage = Fuel_Input_(raw) / 3 * Generator_amount
Runtime = FuelChamberMaxFuel / Fuel_usage + GeneratorUnitRateLimit/2
GeneratorUnitRateLimit/2 is due to the spool up of the generator, which at 1/s takes 100 seconds to reach the max of 100, during which the fuel usage is (in sum) halved.
