Generator

Generators are used to either supply direct power to machines or charge RE Batteries. The basic Generators operate on conventional fuel, which includes most wooden items, Charcoal, Coal, Coalfuel Cells, Biofuel Cells, certain plants, and Scrap. While costly in terms of fuel, basic generators are also one of the most mobile power sources, and don't suffer the drawbacks of requiring sunlight, water, lava, or proper wind as the case is with the other types of generators. When wired up to an electric machine the generator will power it and any others until it runs out of power. However if you have Philosopher's Stone, you can craft 1 coal into 4 charcoal which is a lot more effective.

Generators can be converted to more automated generators such as:


 * Wind Mill
 * Water Mill
 * Solar Panel
 * Geothermal Generator
 * Nuclear Reactor

Recipe
Note: the battery does not have to be charged to craft the Generator.

A generator can be crafted from one RE Battery, one Machine Block, and one normal stone Furnace

Or from one RE Battery, three Refined Iron, and one Iron Furnace. This recipe calls for the same amount of iron (when the iron furnace is crafted with furnace + 5 iron) but requires that less of it be refined.

Usage
Place one of the compatible fuels (listed below) in the lower slot. The generator will output power at a rate of 10 EU/t. You can also charge RE Batteries by placing them in the top slot.

Crafting
Geothermal Generator

Nuclear Reactor

Water Mill

Wind Mill

Energy
Storage: 4000 EU

Output: A varying amount of EU (depending on fuel source, see below) at a rate of 10 EU/t.
