A ''Geothermal Generator'' works on the same basic principle as normal [[Generator]]s do.

Geothermal generators use the heat of Lava to generate electricity. With the release of IC², the generators accept both [[Non-IC Items|Lava Buckets]] and [[Lava Cell|Lava Cells]]. The latter are stackable and thus require less maintenance, but cost Tin to produce.

''Buildcraft Note:'' It is possible to supply Lava to the Geothermal Generator using Buildcraft Waterproof pipes. It will also accept lava directly from an adjacent Buildcraft Pump.

|A2=Glass|B2=Empty_Cell|C2=Glass
|A3=Refined Iron|B3=Generator|C3=Refined Iron
|Output=Geothermal Generator
}}

== Usage ==

As with all Generators, the lava-based fuel of choice is inserted into the lower slot, and optionally an [[RE Battery]] in the upper slot. The Geothermal Generator will charge the battery or output power at a rate of 20 [[EU]]/t.

A single Geothermal Generator can store 24 units of lava - thus, inserting a full stack of Lava Cells will instantly use up 24 of them and fill out the lava gauge. Unlike the [[Furnace|furnace]], the Geothermal Generator does not consume the [[Non-IC Items|bucket]] when a [[Non-IC Items|lava bucket]] is used as fuel. It is returned to your inventory.

== Energy ==

'''Storage:''' 480,000 [[EU]]

'''Input:''' Lava Buckets, Lava Cells, or placed next to a [[Pump]]

'''Output:''' 20,000 EU per Lava Bucket or Lava Cell at a rate of 20 [[EU]]/t

== Additional Usages ==

If you have the BuildCraft mod installed, you can generate near infinite of power. Simply connect one (or more) of these magical machines to a [http://minecraftbuildcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Pump BuildCraft Pump] pumping from a lava lake in [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/The_Nether the Nether].

INFINITE* POWER!

If you have [http://eloraam.com Eloraam's RedPower] installed, lava can also be pumped from a RedPower volcano** into the generator.

* Not responsible for limitations due to laws of physics.
** Not quite as "infinite" as the Nether.

== Tip ==

Using the [[Geothermal Generator]] with a connection to a [[Pump]] will provide an output of 30,000 [[EU]] instead of 20,000. For it to work properly, the Pump has to be above a lava source tile, and the Geothermal Generator needs to touching the Pump.

Additionally, an [[Empty Cell]] needs to be placed into the top of the pump (for unknown reason), and the initial powering of the pump can be done by placing 1 [[Redstone]] in the bottom slot of the [[Pump]].

Note: Though it gives an increased EU (30,000), there is still a 200 EU per operation cost for the pump. The Geothermal Generator will charge the adjacent pump, for a total output of 29,800 [[EU]] per lava source tile.

=== Powerconverters-Mod ===

With the Powerconverters-Mod, steam engines can burn lava buckets and transfer the power through an engine generator. The engine generators are expensive, and buckets of lava are complicated to deal with, but it would produce 50,000 EU per lava bucket as opposed to 20,000 EU.

== HAYO ==

Ge-o-ther-mal, doesn't that sound really good? Yeah, it does. And why? Because '''it's freakin awesome'''!

A ''Geothermal Generator'' works on the same basic principle as normal [[Generator]]s do.
But instead of wastefully burning stuff, these machines use the heat of '''pure Magma to provide a clean, yet powerful energy source'''. Just put a bucket of freshly gathered lava in,
and watch your [[RE Battery|RE Batteries]] charge up! HAYO!

'''Attention:''' We take '''no responsibility''' for any physical damage customers may take in the process of filling ''Geothermal Generators'' with lava. 

You may not sue us for payment of any fire damage done to your housing.

MechaCrash:

We should get 2 or 4 of these chips, i mean really, a bar of iron, 4 copper wires to make 1 microchip?[[User:Discipol|Discipol]] 19:23, 17 December 2011 (CET)

it shoud use circuit plate as component, and circuit plate crafted from 3tin 3iron, all machines shoud cost much more in order to keep "balance", currently you allowed to craft massfab in 1-2 hours of gameplay.

You can make a mass fabricator in one to two hours, but how long will it take for you to get together the energy infrastructure needed to actually run it at a decent speed?

So I need special permissions to make a new page, then? I would appreciate getting them so I can add that silver ore (and thus silver ingots) only happen if you have RedPower 2's World module installed, and the only use they have in IC2 is in glass fiber cables as a substitute for redstone.

Detector Cable

MechaCrash: Adding at least what it does. Can someone provide numbers? Or other actual content?

The Detector Cable is a special cable which outputs a redstone current when EU is flowing through it. [[File:picture_na.png|right|link=]]

Lava Cell

2011-12-07T06:08:35Z

MechaCrash: Updated values to 1.33 numbers, fixing spelling and terminology, and other minor changes.

{{IC²}}

Lava Cells can be used as a stackable alternative to [[Non-IC Items|Lava Buckets]] (that can't accidentally be spilled and burn your house) or used in [[Geothermal Generator]]s to output 20,000 [[EU]] at a rate of 20 [[EU]]/t. You can also use them together with [[Water Cell]]s to create [[Non-IC Items|Obsidian]].

== Recipe ==

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Empty Cell|B1=Lava Bucket|C1=
|A2=|B2=|C2=
|A3=|B3=|C3=
|Output=Lava Cell
}}

== Usage ==

[[Water Cell]]s and Lava Cells can be crafted together to form [[Obsidian]], without requiring a [[Diamond Drill]] to later break the [[Obsidian]].

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Water Cell |B1=Water Cell |C1=Lava Cell

Lava Cells can also be used in a [[Geothermal Generator]] to output 20,000 [[EU]] at a rate of 20 EU/t.

The Compressed Plants are the product of [[Compressor|compressing]] a [[Plantball]]. One unit of Compressed Plants can be combined with an [[Empty Cell]] to create a [[Bio Cell]].

Solar Panel

2011-12-05T10:20:40Z

MechaCrash: The recipe was changed in 1.337 to use circuits instead of cables.

{{Block

}}

Solar Panels are generators that utilize the energy of the Sun to generate [[EU]]. This fact means that they cannot work underground (unless there is an unobstructed view of the sky) or in the Nether. They also don't work at night.

The addition of the electronic circuits in their latest design has done some strange things. Now that they have awareness they have all decided (union rules, nothing we can do) that they will not be working as hard if the weather goes bad.

== Recipe ==

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Coal Dust|B1=Glass|C1=Coal Dust
|A2=Glass|B2=Coal Dust|C2=Glass
|A3=Electronic Circuit|B3=Generator|C3=Electronic Circuit
|Output=Solar Panel
}}

== Usage ==

Optionally place an [[RE Battery]] in the upper slot. The collector will charge the battery or output power at a rate of 1 [[EU|EU/t]] during daytime(from 6:20 to 17:45). Inclement weather affects energy production.

== Solar Flowers ==
[[file:solarflower.png|right|300px|link=http://www.minecraftforum.net/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=270214|A Solar Flower (IC1). Screenshot by Kingy24 ]]

Due to the relative weakness of power generation, the Solar Panels are often assembled into so-called Solar Flowers. These constructions provide the benefit of compact and relatively cheap Solar Panel arrangement without energy losses. This is a design that existed in IC and is all but nullified by the [[Tin Cable]] in IC2, which allows micro currents to be carried 40 blocks.
