Fuel chamber
Revision as of 16:10, 20 June 2024 by Askannon (talk | contribs) (→added the material of the fuelrods to tie it in to the previous term)
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.
