Power Generation

Generators

Generators supply power to all farms, regardless of where on the farm they are placed.

Power refers to the rate of generation. Energy refers to the total amount a fuel item provides. All values listed below are before the Power Control Compartment bonus.

Wind and solar output

Wind works day and night. Solar works from 06:00 until 19:00 and produces no power at night.

Fuel energy

The Simple, Fuel and Upgraded Fuel Generators accept all 14 items below. Values are energy per item; quality stars don't change them. Higher-energy fuel lasts longer without changing the generator's power output.

Refuelling can take reserves above the displayed capacity; the extra energy is kept.

Fishy Generator

The Fishy Generator holds up to three adult fish and uses them to generate power. The fish stay in the tank and don't need feeding or replacing as fuel.

Getting one

Research Fish Power.

Craft the Fishy Generator at an Equipment Workbench.

Fish power tables

These tables cover all 45 obtainable species. Add the fishes' individual outputs together to determine the total power output for a single generator. A Carp, an Eel and a Tuna produce 1.5 power, for example.

1 power per fish

0.75 power per fish

0.5 power per fish

0.25 power per fish

Power Control Compartment

A Power Control Compartment increases generator output by 40% without using extra fuel. Three maximum-output fish produce 4.2 power, for example.

Place the generator inside the compartment, or outdoors where it overlaps or sits directly beside the building.
