Hydrogenerator

Harness Geyser Power with the Hydrogenerator Mod

Tired of those powerful geyser eruptions going to waste? The Hydrogenerator mod introduces an innovative way to convert the raw output of water-producing geysers directly into usable electricity for your duplicant colonies. This mod offers a dynamic and engaging approach to renewable energy generation, allowing you to tap into the very forces shaping your asteroid.

Unlock a New Tier of Power Generation

The Hydrogenerator mod provides three distinct generator tiers, each tailored to different geyser outputs and colony needs. These generators attach directly to compatible geysers, transforming their active liquid flow into a steady stream of power.

• Micro Hydrogenerator: Ideal for lower-output geysers, this compact unit provides a modest power boost.
• Compact Hydrogenerator: A mid-tier solution offering increased wattage for more substantial geyser flows.
• Hydrogenerator: The flagship model, capable of harnessing significant power from the most vigorous geyser eruptions.

Each generator produces electricity based on the liquid flow rate, scaling up to its maximum output. This means the power you get is directly tied to the geyser’s current activity, creating a fascinating management challenge.

Intelligent Integration and Resource Management

Power generation is optimized to occur only when a geyser is actively erupting and not overpressurized, ensuring efficient use of resources. The mod supports various water-based outputs, including water, polluted water, salt water, and brine. Gas vents and non-water liquid geysers are not compatible, focusing the mod’s utility on specific geological features.

Each Hydrogenerator also features an automation input, allowing for remote control and integration into your colony’s complex logistical systems. Researching these advanced power solutions unlocks new technological pathways for your colony, requiring progression through existing research nodes and a new dedicated research topic: Hydrodynamic Power.

Strategic Construction and Material Costs

Building these generators requires careful consideration of your colony’s resources. The materials range from refined metals and glass to plastic, with higher-tier generators demanding greater quantities. Each tier also boasts unique visual designs, adding a touch of custom flair to your power infrastructure.
