![]() ![]() The output of watermills will be reduced to 30% (330W) if you overlap their exclusion zones. They are 13x7 rectangles, extending 4 squares above, below and outside the mill. with neither its housing nor wheel overlapping any other buildings or walls.with its water wheel entirely in moving water.on solid ground, not on a bridge or marsh) with its 3x3 base on tiles that can support Heavy (i.e.Only the 3x3 base must be on firm ground. Then, a 1x5 waterwheel is attached to one side of the housing, making the total footprint 5圆. The base is a 3x3 square in the middle of the housing (in white) the housing extends another 1 square beyond that, making a 5x5 square. This includes rivers and creeks, but not ocean. solid ground, not mud or gravel) and moving water. The watermill generator is unique in that it requires two different types of terrain: heavy terrain (i.e. Watermill generators produce a constant 1100 W of power after being constructed. ![]() They require 280 Wood, 80 Steel, 3 Components, 4,000 ticks ( 1.11 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 6. Depending on the outside temperature, if closed under roof a geothermal generator can heat up to 8 rooms of 6圆 placed symmetrically around it with a 1 tile corridor in between.Ī geothermal generator and 2 batteries can power a sun lamp and full set of hydroponics basins.Watermill generators can be constructed once the Watermill generator research project has been completed. It cannot be controlled normally, though you can open/close doors, vents, or tear down roof or walls. The amount of heat it provides is only a little more than a normal heater. In cold biomes, the heat from the geyser itself can be beneficial. And, because power conduits under a wall are similarly protected from raiders, you may want to have the power line covered by walls. As the generator's components can break down, leave a door so you can access it. Leave the generator room's unroofed to prevent overheating. Multiple layers of walls can be used for extra protection, if so desired.Ī small, 7x7 interior is enough to extinguish fires that happen to start on the generator. Breachers and sappers will only target walls if they'd be in the way. Raiders which are not breachers or sappers will never target anything behind a layer of walls, so long as they have another valid target (colonist, roaming animal, furniture) without breaking a wall or door. A single layer of nonflammable, stone walls is usually enough. If geysers are available in reasonable locations, Geothermal power should be researched relatively early, to provide eternal power for your growing base.Īs they usually make up a significant portion of a colony's power generation, are relatively expensive to construct, and geysers can spawn in vulnerable locations, you should protect your generators. Having access to a single geyser can significantly offset a colony's power needs, while having several can potentially fully supply a modest late-game base. It is often worth choosing a base location that is reasonably close to a steam geyser. This comes at the cost of being locked into set positions on map generation. Geothermal generators are excellent as a sustainable power source, providing a relatively large amount of permanent, free energy. ![]()
