Fuel Generator

The Fuel Generator is a power generator building that generates power by burning, or.

At 100% clock speed, one Fuel Generator produces 150 MW. This will use 12 m3/min of or, or 4.5 m3/min of.

(750 MJ/m)

Generators per node
A single Crude Oil node, using only the original Crude Oil to Fuel recipe, can support the following number of Fuel Generators operating at peak capacity (fractional amounts of machines mean that the clock speed of the last machine needs to be adjusted for maximum efficiency):


 * * Net power capacity is less due to the Oil Extractor and Refineries consuming power
 * ** This is either an impure node at 250% or normal at 125%
 * *** This is either a normal node at 250% or pure at 125%, the limit of Mk.1 Pipelines
 * **** This is a pure node at 250%, the limit of Mk.2 Pipelines

Fuel production can be greatly expanded by making use of Diluted (Packaged) Fuel, even more when combined with. Using both of these recipes together exactly quadruples Fuel production, at the cost of adding 2.667 Blenders and 1 Water Extractor per 10 Fuel Generators.


 * *Requires multiple Mk2 pipelines

Overview
The following equations apply: If Fuel or Liquid Biofuel or is being used, number of Fuel Generators required is: $$Fuel\,Generators = {Fuel\,or\,Liquid\,Biofuel\,production\,rate\over 12}$$

If Turbofuel is being used, number of Fuel Generators required is: $$Fuel\,Generators = {Turbofuel\,production\,rate\over 4.5}$$ The fluid has to be spread across multiple Pipelines as following: $$Pipelines\,required = {Total\,flow\,rate\over 300}$$ for Mk.1 Pipelines and $$Pipelines\,required = {Total\,flow\,rate\over 600}$$ for Mk.2 Pipelines.

Setting up Fuel power
See the main article linked above for a full tutorial in multiple stages, from Fuel to Turbofuel.

History
