Generator (Assembly)
Generators are one of the most essential parts of any constructs that need generated power. Most spaceships for example need to have a properly assembled generator in order for the ships to function. Every machine or device that requires power must be connected to the generator's socket board via a cable, or otherwise to another source of power such as a battery. A generator is constructed from many modules, and these modules may be assembled in many different variations. The most basic form of a generator consists of a single generator unit, a fuel chamber, a socket board, and a cooling board with cooling cells.
Basic information
Modules can be combined to build a generator for different needs and purposes, with varying shapes, sizes, and efficiency.
A generator can be built from the following modules:
- The fuel rod (This is the container for the the raw fuel that the fuel chamber will process to create energy)
- The fuel chamber (The fuel rod is placed inside the fuel chamber. The raw fuel is then processed into processed fuel in the fuel chamber)
- The generator unit (Within the generator unit processed fuel is processed into power)
- The cooling board (Cooling cells are placed here and coolant is processed to reduce heat)
- The socket board (For attaching cables)
- Enhancers (For improving efficiency, in three different tiers)
A generator creates its own resource network within it, which distributes and processes five different resources:
- Raw Fuel - Stored in the fuel rod.
- Processed Fuel - Processed in the fuel chamber from Raw Fuel.
- Power - Processed in the generator unit from Processed Fuel.
- Heat - Produced from the two latter processes, the processing of raw fuel and the processing of power.
- Coolant - Stored in the cooling cells. Processed in the cooling board to reduce Heat.
