== Description == 
A machine that converts solid fuel to energy. It generates up to 20 kW per [[tick|game-tick]] (40 kJ/s).

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Fuel !! Time to burn !! Total energy (per Unit burnt)
|-
| [[Coal]] || 5 s || 200 kJ (55.5 Wh)
|-
| [[Charcoal]] || 1 s ''¹''|| 40 kJ (11.1 Wh) ''¹''
|-
| [[SolidFuel]] || 10 s || 400 kJ (111 Wh)
|}
''¹ The machine has a minimum runtime of 3 seconds. Burning one unit of charcoal (stack size = 1) generates a total of 120 kJ (33.3 Wh).''

== Generation == 

This generator outputs energy dependent on the demand, up to 20kW. In particular, it can be connected to a [[Cable Coil|cable coil]] if the demand is up to 5kW. Higher demand requires a [[Cable_Coil_(Heavy)|heavy cable coil]]. Demands lower than 20kW result in an energy loss, as this generator burns fuel at a constant rate independent of the demand.

== Energy storage == 

This generator fully charges a [[Station Battery|station battery]] (with a [[Cable_Coil_(Heavy)|heavy cable coil]]) with the following:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Fuel !! Amount
|-
| [[Coal]] || 18 units
|-
| [[Charcoal]] || 90 units ''¹''
|-
| [[SolidFuel]] || 9 units
|}
''¹ Burning charcoal efficiently (stack size = 1) reduces this value to 30 units.''

== Waste == 
This generator exhaust gases to its surroundings as follows:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Fuel !! [[Carbon Dioxide]] !! [[Pollutant]]
|-
| [[Coal]] || 10 mol || 3 mol
|-
| [[Charcoal]] || 3 mol || 3 mol
|-
| [[SolidFuel]] || 5 mol || 20 mol
|}
