Fuel-Powered Generator

Fuel-Powered Generator
Consumes Fuel to generate electricity for the power grid. Has a Pipeline input port that allows the Fuel supply to be automated. Caution: Always generates power at the set clock speed. Shuts down if fuel requirements are not met.

The Fuel-Powered Generator is a power generator building that generates power by burning liquid fuel ( Fuel,  Liquid Biofuel,  Turbofuel,  Rocket Fuel, or  Ionized Fuel).

At 100% clock speed, one Fuel-Powered Generator produces 250 MW. The type of fuel does not affect power production, only burning time.

Fuel Consumption

Fuel	Energy	Burn duration	Burn rate
Fuel	750 MJ	3 sec	20 m3/min
Liquid Biofuel	750 MJ	3 sec	20 m3/min
Turbofuel	2,000 MJ	8 sec	7.5 m3/min
Rocket Fuel	3,600 MJ	14.4 sec	4.16667 m3/min
Ionized Fuel	5,000 MJ	20 sec	3 m3/min

Overclocking

Main article: Clock speed

The Fuel-Powered Generator can be overclocked using Power Shards. Overclocking increases the fuel consumption rate and produced power linearly. The same amount of power is always produced from the same input resources.

Setting up Fuel power

Main article: Setting up Fuel Power

This article is outdated. You can help Satisfactory Wiki by updating it.

See the main article linked above for a full tutorial in multiple stages, from Fuel to Turbofuel. Note: Always keep in mind the Pipeline throughput limit, 300 m³/min for Mk.1 and 600 m³/min for Mk.2

1. Acquire 300 m³/min of Crude Oil (which is two impure Oil Extractors at 250%, one normal at 250% or one pure at 125%).
2. Split the output of the Extractor and feed it to 5 Refineries.
3. Merge the fluid output of all the Refineries into a single Pipe, then split it to feed 10 Fuel Generators; which can be done with ten at 100% clock speed. See Clock Speed For Power Generators for more details.
4. A manifold arrangement (aka. in-line splitting and merging) is advised for the above setup.
5. To deal with the Polymer Resin (this setup will produce 150/min), either sink it or refine it into Residual Rubber/Plastic. Ensure these byproducts never back up, or Fuel production will stop, which will eventually result in the generators running out of it and stopping.

This setup provides 2,500 MW of sustained power.
