	== 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. The generator should therefore be one of the first things to automate, either with [[logic]] chips or [[IC10]] code. A simple guide for [[Automated_Coal_Generator\|automating the generator]] with logic is available.		== Generation ==
