Burns standard furnace fuels (coal, wood, charcoal, etc.) to generate power. This is your starting generator for early-game power needs.

Usage

Insert any combustible fuel into the inventory. The generator burns it and stores energy in its internal buffer, which gets sent to connected machines or cables.

The basic generator does not support addons. By default it generates 32 RF/t.

It is a good machine for your first workshop because it is cheap, fuel-flexible, and does not require multiblock setup. One generator is enough for a starter line, but building a second or third is often the easiest way to support an Assembler, Pulverizer, and Powered Furnace at the same time.
