Modular Power

Design Concept:

Ficsit pioneers can have a deconstructed version of any in-game power generator. We have taken each deconstructed element and created a new building for each:

Placement:

Modular Power buildings attach to platforms that connect associated devices together, and use pipes to move resources between buildings on separate platforms.

  • A Heater sits on a Boiler Platform with a Boiler attached. The amount of steam a Boiler produces is determined by the type of Boiler and the amount of heat in the Heater.

  • A Turbine sits on a Converter Platform with a Generator attached. The amount of power the Generator produces is determined by the type of Generator and the number of RPMs supplied by the Turbine

  • A Cooler sits on a Cooling Platform and simply vents its associated gas into the atmosphere, removing it from the system.
