Memetic Spec Hydraulic Generator: One with the Tides Question

[FirmlyyGraspIt]

I have a memory fragment for this memetic specialization and it says that it can increase power up to 7 watts depending on the water flow. I don't want to use it and waste a memetic slot unless I know for sure I can find a good place for a base where it can give me the maximum 7 watt increase. Anyone know how this works?

Bio, Solar, or Deviant Energy are the ones you want IMO. You should get that bonus wherever you place it in water though.

That one, and the generator specialization one that gives +2 power to all gens and +1 gen are two of the best memes. Both of these give +1 gen and allow you to build up to 8 gens which is amazing for your base as well as selling building 8 gens in other players bases. The 7 watt increase is irrelevant to the ability to get an extra gen. Just put 7 or 8 dev gens in a polluted zone and be happy. Or just sell it since its a fragment. DO NOT sell it for energy links though, trade it for a fragment you do want or level 5 skill deviants. The only fragment that is really equal to that one is the aforementioned generator specialization meme or the furnace meme that doubles aluminum and tungsten output.

Doesn't increase. Water doesn't flow. You can only put them at the very edge of the river, almost like they can't go in water. Like pumps can.. Don't get the meme or it'll make one out of you.
