Medium Generator

The Medium Generator is one of the Generators in Astroneer and consumes to produce Power.

Uses
Once plugged into a socket on a platform or storage, the generator will convert over time into Power. It will continue to generate power whether anything can consume it, so if no batteries exist to absorb extra charge, a Medium Generator can easily waste power.
 * One will fuel the Medium Generator for 100 seconds and produce 300 Units.


 * The Medium Generator will not slow down consumption if nothing is available to use the power it makes, so caution should be taken to avoid wasting fuel.
 * fuels a for 100 seconds at 1U/s, which produces 100 Units (approx. three Small Batteries.)
 * fuels a Medium Generator for 100 seconds at 3U/s and makes 300 Units.
 * Smelting into  only takes 60 Units in a, and consequently raises its effective power output by 140 Units, or more than 4 Small Batteries.


 * When planning for long trips, has the highest consumable power yield per single T1 slot of any item in the entire game, with a few exceptions;
 * The T2 slot that a Medium Generator necessarily takes up is effectively 8 T1 slots that could be used by a medium storage to hold Organic and Small Generators.
 * Consequently, it's possible to carry more energy per storage space used by placing Organic instead of Carbon if space is limited.
 * The ratio flips above 12 spaces used; 12 T1 spaces worth of Organic or Carbon produce almost exactly the same amount of power, including the overhead of the space the generator takes up. An easy way to remember is that if you must carry more than 12 Organic for portable power, you will be able to store more total energy by using a Medium Generator instead.
 * For longer one-way trips, it might be viable to simply package a Medium Generator back into its original T1 box, or fabricate a new one by bringing materials along.
