Does the game have a large generator?
If not, it could be a good idea to have one, I have so many generators right now, it's insane. :(

If a larger generator also includes additional output ports, I can get behind that.

Are you using splitters and couplers to reduce how generators you need to use?

[Astro]

I am lots of them, I have 4 large mines and tons of traps, lights etc so basically I have around 12 generators, it's just pretty annoying. We do have the large water container, large mines and, it would make sense to have a large generator.

how are they on fuel consumption? im currently powering everything with wind. for example: does the oil digging station get enough back to cover its fuel cost via generator?

[Astro]

you need 2 generators to run 2 large mines, insane.
Now I have a question for you how many wind thingy and batteries do you need to run a large mine?

[jens]

wind is 52 power per turbine. dont know how much a mine needs.
how much gasoline are you burning per hour to run 2 generators?

[Astro]

generator is 240 so wind is bad, worse then solar which last time I checked was 80, I guess we dont' use batteries with wind, like when we use solar? If it does how many batteries u need attached to it so it can run non-stop all day?

wind turbines for me gen 61 power, but need no other obstructions withing range besides the one pillar / floor or on terrain, any other obstructions including pillars or several floors / walls around them reduce power by 6 for each obstruction, they NEED to remove the hindrance of things BELOW a wind turbine.....

interesting I was thinking to place them inside my base even on the roof but there are walls around so maybe better to put a pillar and have them stick up, but my questions are...
1) do they work all day, solar panels shuts off at night
2) do they need a battery attached to them and if yes how many each?

Thanks

Yes they work 24 hours a day and no they don't need batteries attached you can plug them straight into the items you need to power, you can use a coupler to combine multiple generators or turbines together to power larger items.

Learn to use renewable energy. Not solar panels but use Wind energy.

[Astro]

Yep just spend thousands of shards on them pack the entire roof with them u will be good to go. :) nah I prefer generators, we have tons of gas, so no biggy.
