Revision as of 13:00, 2 August 2016
The Pyrothermic Generator (AKA the PTG) is the first craftable power generator available to the player. The power per second (PPS) it generates is determined by the fuel it's burning. Place the fuel in an adjacent hopper and the Pyrothermic Generator will supply power to any adjacent machine that consumes power. It will only start burning once its internal buffer drops below half, and takes several seconds to ramp up. The generator is less efficient the further below the surface it is placed*.
| Fuel Name | PPS |
|---|---|
| Leaves | 1 |
| Glowpods | 7 |
| Tree Trunk | 7 |
| Coal Ore | 10 |
| Enriched Coal | 20 |
| Infused Coal | 40 |
Machine Statistics:
- Capacity: 1000 power
- Burn Time: 30 seconds
- Maximum Power Transfer Rate**: 32 per second
*Note to editors: Please add the depth that generators stop working if you know it.
**The in-game help was out of date when this page was last updated. I'm not sure if 32 pps is the max transfer rate given that we now have infused coal.
