The (simplified) conversion chain is. The generator is an exact analog to the wood-fired generator, only the type of fuel is different. I'm not sure a new opinion warrants yet another necro to this already old thread (it's two years old after all), but your differing opinion also doesn't take into account extra refueling jobs (needs to be done 100% more frequently with wood-fired generators) and woodcutting jobs. It also produces a slight amount of heat as secondary effect but not enough to classify as temperature control element. For comparison, the wood-fired generator uses 22 wood per day.

Theoretically, a single hydroponics basin lit by a sun lamp (in a group of 24 basins) uses 130W of power on average, including the sun lamp (190W if you assume day-time power draw). A Wood-fired generator produces power by consuming wood. Chemfuel powered generators can be constructed after you have completed research into Electricity.

I have two generators, and over 1k wood. Press J to jump to the feed. Early on (Before you get chemfuel obviously) and if the map has plenty of wood (Forest or swamp) then wood-burning generators are a good source of quick, stable power. A single hydroponics basin can produce ~0.7 raw nutrition per day (growing rice, and assuming a perfect grow operation). Jump to navigation Jump to search. 4.6 generators are needed to power a full hydroponics setup, which will require ~21 chemfuel per day, or about 3 hydroponics basins. IMO Chemfuel generators are much better than wood ones. In practice this is not entirely attainable, because milking the animals and refueling the generators will not be a seamless process. Espically since you can just tame and "milk" boomalopes for chemfuel. On most maps there's no reason not to use solar and/or wind. r/RimWorld.

Holds up to 75 wood max, and will provide power for roughly 3 days and 9 hours before running out, for a fuel consumption of 22 per day. Exanthos. They still break down like other power sources.

This will yield ~2.1 nutrition per day, per hydroponics basin, enough to feed 2 animals, producing 12 chemfuel per day, fueling ~2.6 generators. A wood-fired generator is a power source that runs by burning wood as fuel. A boomalope produces at most 6 chemfuel per day. if you got boomalope roaming around, tame a few of em and you can keep 2 generators running non stop. A chemfuel powered generator holds 30 chemfuel, consuming 4.5 chemfuel per day. However, the power draw of the refinery is not taken into account (it can be micro-managed if chemfuel is produced in batches, and will not play a big role in the overall economy). I have hardly ever needed to use any kind of generator that I had to provide fuel for. At least in my experience. Generators are a low-level light source, and also produce heat. This is not attainable in practice, but will serve as a guideline. From RimWorld Wiki. log in sign up. A lot of excess power is generated at the end of the chain. Wood generator uses 22 wood per day meaning 1 wood = 45.4545454545455 watts.. A Chemfuel generator uses 4.5 fuel per day so 1 fuel = 222.222222222222 watts. Must be placed on a geyser. Using batteries to catch the night-time excess power, the setup described will cover the food and energy needs of a medium-sized colony entirely (without having to resort to any other power sources). A completely fueled-up generator will run for 6 days and 16 hours without refueling. All that work gets in the way of other work just to have power. The generator is an exact analog to the wood-fired generator, only the type of fuel is different. I suppose that if you are refining chemfule from wood.. that would take a while too. Chemfuel generators are reallllly nice. Archived. Jul 23, 2016 @ 3:59pm Why won't my guys refuel the generators? It requires a colonist to refuel it. It has ample wood, and is switched on, but it says "0 Watts," and there is a flashing lightning bolt on the generator. A refinery makes 70 wood into 35 chemfuel which is 2 wood per fuel. From RimWorld Wiki. It is feasible to run 4 generators indefinitely from a herd of 3 boomalopes (one boomalope can fuel ~1.3 generators). This happened after a short a few tiles away. Now this generator does not work. Fuel has to be delivered to the generator by a colonist. The fire was put out and the conduit repaired. Geothermal generator. Admiral Obvious. Chemfuel generators together with hydroponics greenhouses and biofuel refineries produce a significant net energy profit, if the colonist workforce is available to run the setup. © Valve Corporation. The chemfuel powered generator produces power from chemfuel. The generator is an exact analog to the wood-fired generator, only the typ… If you are playing on a map with ample trees and wish to avoid dealing with weather's impact on your power supply, wood-fired generators are a reasonable solution.

and if they breed, hooo boy. certainly you don't want to use it on ice maps or desert maps.

Beta 18 - name changed from fueled generators to wood-fired generators but otherwise identical. 19. https://rimworldwiki.com/index.php?title=Wood-fired_generator&oldid=75185. what is the best? Produces electricity from burning wood. By mid game, one lucky chemfuel deep reserve and you can run those things eternally. you can not only keep the lights on, you can build many mortar shells out of em and make your enemies flee in terror. The vanilla wood generator is useful if there is enough wood. This results in a theoretical net gain in energy of about 870W (810W during the day). However, chemfuel eventually becomes more abundant if you grow recipe items that can be used to make chemfuel, and those plants usually grow faster than trees.

but if you mine it or get it from boomalops its much faster to get in large quantaties. A herd of 4 animals will therefore comfortably fuel the entire setup, indefinitely, and a biofuel refinery will not be required. This is only efficient if the food is fed to the animals as nutrient paste meals. Therefore, the produce from a single basin fuels about 1.5 chemfuel generators.

r/RimWorld: Discussion, screenshots, and links, get all your RimWorld content here! Fuel duration 5 days -> 3 days 9 hours. It can be constructed after researching Electricity. < > Showing 1-9 of 9 comments . Generators are a low-level light source, and also produce heat.

The generator outputs a constant 1000 W, burning 4.5 chemfuel per day (no matter how much power is actually drawn). Fuel has to be delivered to the generator by a colonist. With or without zzzts, I have always used wind, solar and geothermal. Puzzling. A chemfuel powered generator holds 30 chemfuel, consuming 4.5 chemfuel per day.

Since the internet has demanded i not be lazy I share this for anyone who follows: You can consider chemfuel to be a renewable resource, since the colony has the means to produce it (unlike eg, neutroamine or luciferium, without mods). User account menu. However, it will be necessary to micro-manage the food-production at the nutrient paste dispenser; purists will consider this an exploit of game mechanics. Posted by 2 years ago. Wood-fired generator. Type Buildings – Power Placeable Yes Size 6 ˣ 6 HP 500 Power + 3600W Resources to make 400 + 8 Deconstruct yield 255 + 6. This converts into ~7 chemfuel per day at a biofuel refinery. 19. It is also possible to use boomalopes to convert the food into chemfuel, instead of refineries. All rights reserved. Fueled generators are more for situations where you can't get either of those, like a deep mountain base, but even then I find it better having a double/tripple walled off external section with some free power gen in it instead of trying to maintain a bunch of fueled generators. Sorry to necro this but it's the first google hit and the question does have a mathematical answer which is what I was looking for (because lazy). The chemgen isn't worth it to me if it didn't function the way it does now unless I happen to have a infinite chemreactor. Fuel and energy economy. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. wood gfenerator is cheaper but need reloa dmore often, Chemfuel seems very worth it, you can produce it with many more different ingredients than just wood and then there's your underground deposits and crashed cargo pods to consider. This page was last edited on 22 September 2020, at 04:59. This page was last edited on 5 June 2020, at 09:35. Since we know each fuel gives us ~222w then 1 wood is half of it and so = 111.111111111111 watts. The reason I dont like wood, even in heavly wooded maps, is that they dont stay fueled long, and that you have to cut down alot of trees. RimWorld > General Discussions > Topic Details. Power production is constant so long as they do not run out of fuel which greatly reduces your base's need for batteries, but will eat into your wood reserves over time, and will add additional workload for your haulers to take care of. Jump to navigation Jump to search. The geothermal generator is a power generator that once researched, can be built on top of a steam …

The chemfuel powered generator produces power from chemfuel. The issue isn't so much the fuel cost as it is the work required to constantly refuel them. A full 22 hydroponics basins will be available to grow plants for free in the colony with such a setup. Hello- I have a wood-fired generator which is not working, but it does not say why.

This was changed to prevent ambiguity with the Chemfuel powered generator, which was added in the same update. Close. Chemfuel powered generators were added in Beta 18. https://rimworldwiki.com/index.php?title=Chemfuel_powered_generator&oldid=72029. Both are a lot more niche in the current version since the short circuit event is no longer related to energy storage. Backup Generators v1.0 (Wood and Chemfuel) Mod Release.

Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something? They are not being fueled, and neither is my smithy. This means that with 5 generators you can grow plants in ~20 hydroponics basins for free, with about 400W of power to spare during the day (3,300W during the night). Español - Latinoamérica (Spanish - Latin America). Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts . A15 - Fueled generator will consume fuel faster. Type Buildings – Power Placeable Yes Size 2 ˣ 2 HP 300 Power + 1000W Resources to make 100 2 Deconstruct yield 75 1. A wood-fired generator is a power source that runs by burning wood as fuel. Produces electricity from geothermal steam geysers.

The generator outputs a constant 1000 W, burning 4.5 chemfuel per day (no matter how much power is actually drawn). Pawns cut trees to get wood, hauls wood to stock, grabs wood from stock to refine, do the bill, haul chemfuel to stock, then refuel the generator with chemfuel. Not sure on the efficiency per unit or anything like that but for convenience alone, I'm for chem.
