Advanced Generators
Expand Your Power Capabilities with Advanced Generators
As your asteroid colony in Oxygen Not Included grows, so too does your demand for reliable and efficient power. The base game offers a solid foundation of power generation, but for those seeking to optimize their energy production and explore new resource management avenues, the Advanced Generators mod introduces a suite of innovative solutions. This modification seamlessly integrates into your existing power infrastructure, offering players new tools to tackle the ever-present challenge of keeping the lights on.
New Powerhouse Options
The Advanced Generators mod brings four distinct new buildings to your construction menu, each with unique mechanics and resource requirements. These additions provide fresh strategic considerations for managing your colony’s power grid and utilizing byproducts.
Thermoelectric Generator
One of the most intriguing additions is the Thermoelectric Generator. This ingenious device harnesses ambient heat to produce electricity. Simply connect its power output, and it will begin to passively absorb surrounding heat, converting it into a steady 250w of power while simultaneously reducing the heat in its vicinity by a remarkable 128kDTU. This makes it an excellent tool for managing thermal stress in hot environments or for utilizing waste heat from other industrial processes.
Naphtha Generator
For those who have access to Naphtha, the Naphtha Generator offers another avenue for power. This machine consumes Naphtha and Oxygen to generate power, producing Carbon Dioxide as a byproduct. A key consideration for this generator is its reliance on ambient Oxygen; it must be surrounded by breathable atmosphere to function, adding a layer of logistical planning to its deployment.
Eco-friendly Natural Gas Generator
The Eco-friendly Natural Gas Generator presents a more comprehensive approach to utilizing natural gas resources. It requires Natural Gas, Oxygen, and Filtration Media to operate. In return, it outputs power, Carbon Dioxide, and Water. The generated Carbon Dioxide is vented via gas pipes, allowing for easy integration into your gas management systems.
Key Features of Advanced Generators:
- Introduces the Thermoelectric Generator for passive power and heat reduction.
- Adds the Naphtha Generator, utilizing Naphtha and Oxygen for power.
- Includes the Eco-friendly Natural Gas Generator for versatile natural gas conversion.
- Expands strategic options for power management and resource utilization.
- Designed for seamless integration with existing Oxygen Not Included gameplay.
By incorporating these new generators, players can unlock advanced strategies for power generation, thermal regulation, and resource repurposing, further enriching the deep simulation of Oxygen Not Included.
