ImmortalZeal Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 How long will a generator last for if i have 2-4 troughs around it on official, within a 1-2 foundation radius. How much element would it consume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNomad Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Quote : The Tek Generator uses 0.1 Element / 10 Element Shard per unit of radius per hour. That is on the 2.0× radius 1 Element every 5 hours. on the largest radius (10.0×) 1 Element per hour. The amount of devices connected does not change the amount of element needed.

DeerHunter666 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 This element usage depends on the "radius" option you use for the tec generator. It does not matter how many tec trough etc you place. I think we have 22 around one of our generators on a low setting and looking to expand. The Tek Generator uses 0.1 Element / 10 Element Shard per unit of radius per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balteraxe Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 These are old element usages. It's not 1 element per 5 hours anymore. It's more like 15-24 hours per element. On the lowest setting that is.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripborn Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Tek Gen runs for 18hrs on one element. this is on mini Settings with 6x tech troughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtallbloke Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 nice setup rip- You could place one either side left to right as you look at that pic also, to get another couple down if needed lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed on AB at 1.0x radius it's 18 hours. Confirmed on Rag at 1.0x radius is 18 hours. Wiki is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
