Small Generator

The Small Generator is a Tier-1 power generator in Astroneer that produces power by consuming. It can be used from the widget slots on a player's backpack, on any regular attachment slot, or on the ground. In the last case, a Small Platform appears underneath the generator, allowing for two power cables to be connected. 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.
 * Small Generator will fill one bar of battery in 4 seconds.
 * One will fuel the Small Generator for 100 seconds and produces 100 Units.

It is possible to shut down the generator (stopping both power production and fuel consumption) by pushing the "Use" key (default: ) while hovering your cursor over it. The same way, the player can also restart the generator.

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 Excavation Update, the Small Generator swapped places with the Small Solar Panel, specifically as a power management tutorial.

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.
