A [[Miner]] adjacent to one or more ''Geothermal Generator''s (up to 8), and using Extractor pipes will automatically supply the Geothermal Generator(s) with lava.
 
Extracted lava per operation is converted to 5000 [[EU]]. A single lava source block may be operated on multiple times before disappearing, and on average returns more than a bucket of lava would generate.
 
Each ''Geothermal Generator'' can hold ~4 buckets worth (4x20000 [[EU]]) before more is wasted, hence ''16'' operations of the miner are required to fill one completely.
 
This is the most efficient way of using lava as a power source.

A Geothermal Generator works on the same basic principle as normal Generators do.

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

Usage[edit]

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 10 EU/s.

A single Geothermal Generator can store 12 units of lava - thus, inserting a full stack of Lava Cells will instantly use up 12 of them and fill out the lava gauge.
