Small Generator

It can be used from the widget slots on a player's backpack, on any regular attachment slot, or on the ground. Once a nugget of is placed in its input slot, the generator will convert the Organic to Power over time.

The Small Generator may be turned on and off to save the nugget for when power is needed.

Uses
This generator can be placed in either a Widget slot on a player's backpack, on a platform, or on the ground. Once a nugget of is placed on top of it, the generator will convert the Organic to Power over time.

The Small Generator can be turned on and off by hovering over it and pressing the Use key (default on PC). Organic won't be consumed when turned off.

Power output may be automated by placing the Small Generator on a platform with storages attached that contain. When one nugget has been used up, the next will be pulled until all nuggets have been used up, at which point the generator will stop producing power.

Trivia

In the Basebuilding Update, the generator can now be toggled on or off, saving fuel. It also creates a small platform under it when placed on the ground.
