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.
Note for those using Buildcraft: Currently the Geothermal Generator will not accept connections from Buildcraft's Waterproof Pipes, nor will it accept Lava if placed directly adjacent to a Buildcraft Pump.
Recipe[edit]
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 20 EU/t.
A single Geothermal Generator can store 22 units of lava - thus, inserting a full stack of Lava Cells will instantly use up 22 of them and fill out the lava gauge.
Energy[edit]
Storage: 440,000 EU
Input: Lava Buckets or Lava Cells
Output: 20000 EU per Lava Bucket or Lava Cell at a rate of 20 EU/t
