Steam Powered Generator

Tired of constantly having to fetch gasoline to keep your generator going?

Want something a little bit more "Steampunk" to keep your things running?

Well look no further!

Introducing the all-new Steam-powered Electricity generator! It burns logs, boils water, the steam pushes a dynamo, the dynamo generates current, the current goes into a transformer and you get that sweet, sweet mains voltage out of it.


It functions exactly like a regular generator (including needing to have read the Generators magazine or have the trait) with four caveats:

1. It can only be fuelled with logs & charcoal, nothing else will do. 20 Logs will fully fuel an empty generator. You don't need to stop the generator to throw in more logs. Longevity of the fuel is the same as whatever is configured for vanilla generators. Charcoal is twice as effective (assuming you make your charcoal in a metal drum, otherwise I guess it's just free)
2. It requires water to operate and will very slowly deplete, requiring a refresh. You do need to turn it off to add more water. Allowing the water level to get very low will drastically increase its rate of damage. Letting it get completely empty will wreck it within 10 in-game minutes. You can still repair it of course, if it doesn't burst into flames. 2.5 watering cans will completely fill it. Longevity of the water is hard-coded, for now, but it's good for many cycles of fuel, so it won't be an issue.
3. It requires repairs, instead of scrap electronics, you need scrap metal. Your repairs become more effective as you level up metalworking. The rate of damage is also identical to whatever the sandbox settings for vanilla generators is.
4. You cannot start the generator without a lighter or matches.

Everything else is identical. If you are asking yourself "does it do/not do X" and X isn't listed above, the answer is "It's the same as whatever happens with a regular generator"


You need Metalworking level 5, look at the Metalworking recipes tab in-game to see what you need. I advise picking up the generator last since the weight of everything else will push you close to the edge. Fortunately, the game always lets you pick one up.

The generator cannot be rotated, instead, it has LEDs that give an indication as to whether its water/fuel/condition need checking.
