− | == | + | {{info|A '''chemfuel powered generator''' provides power by burning [[chemfuel]]. Unlike the variable power output of [[solar generator]]s and [[wind turbine]]s which depend on the night-day cycle and wind, respectively, chemfuel powered generators produce a constant supply of power for as long as they are fueled. A constant supply of power may reduce your base's need for [[battery|batteries]] at the cost of having chemfuel and [[hauling|haulers]] to keep it running. Chemfuel is obtained by milking tamed [[boomalope]]s or creating it via [[refinery]]. Similar to the [[Wood-fired generator]]s, chemfuel powered generators avoid issues with wind, weather, and eclipses as long as they have fuel.}} |
− | + | ===Running=== | |
+ | A chemfuel powered generator can hold 30 chemfuel, consuming '''4.5 chemfuel per day''', lasting 6 days 16 hours total. (The [[wood-fired generator]] uses 22 wood per day, for comparison.) | ||
+ | *A single boomalope, milked every two days, can easily provide enough fuel to keep a generator running. | ||
+ | *A single [[hydroponics basin]] produces enough Rice to keep a generator running indefinitely if converted into fuel at a refinery. | ||
+ | **This requires ''significantly'' less fuel/energy to grow than it yields in chemfuel production, not counting other needs such as sun lamps or heaters. Net power is easily attainable. | ||
+ | Chemfuel powered generators produce heat as a by-product, although not as much as a [[campfire]] or [[heater]]. They are also very [[beauty|unattractive]], making them a poor choice for your bedroom-heating needs. | ||
− | + | ===Obtaining=== | |
+ | Chemfuel powered generators can be constructed after you have completed [[research]] into Electricity. | ||
− | == | + | ==History== |
− | + | Chemfuel powered generators were added in Beta 18. | |
