But don't let this fool you into thinking you can build more generators. If you are producing 10 KW of power, but only use 5 KW, you'll only use 50% of the fuel. The reason being is power generators consume fuel based on power consumption. Now some of you may have already started building generators, feeding in coal, and noticing that they don't actually consume 15/min coal. With 120/min coal, you can fuel 8 coal generators. Alternatively a pure coal node will produce the same. Hopefully by this point you have a few slugs, so you could look at a normal coal node, with a mk 1 miner, and 2 slugs, which will produce 120/min coal. I would point out some good locations, but I don't have my map on me, so I'm just going to name Coal Hole, a bit north of the forest starting region and be done with it. When looking for coal, also keep in mind the need for water. A single coal generator using coal needs 15/min coal, and 45/min water. So why bring that up? Well the first thing you need to know about coal generators is how much coal they need to run at full capacity. As long as the input equals the output, and the conveyers are up to speed, things should run just fine. This should also help you for other factories you build as well. But once it gets running, it should keep running. Now sure, you might have some coal build up if you are using the over-flow system. If you have a miner digging up 120/min coal, using 120/min conveyer belts, feeding machines that need 120/min coal total, you have a nice balanced throughput. But before you run off to build a nice shiny new power planet, I want to give you some advice so that you avoid hearing the dreaded sound of your power tripping, and having to re-feed those biomass burners just to start up your power plant again.īefore we being, I want to direct your attention to this site: I'll be referring to things mentioned here, and is a good source of data.įirst off, I want you to understand the concept of throughput. So you've finally unlocked how to build a coal power plant, and the end to feeding those biomass burners is in sight.
