Skiidzman Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 So I am trying to figure out two things basically, as the wiki is apparently wrong for official rates. A) Does the Tek Generator allow you to set the radius to 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc? Or is it only 1x, 2x, and higher? B) How long will 1 element last on a 1x setting? From my calculation or what I have been told it should be 20+ hours. Anybody experienced want to chime in? Please do not post whats in the ark wiki, because it can't be accurate.

B) On 1x radius, it consumes 1 element every 18 hours. I’ve confirmed this using shards as it’s a more accurate reading. On 10x radius, it only consumes element at around double the rate of 1x but I’m not sure how long it lasts. Further in-depth testing required. I have 4x fuel consumption interval multiplier on my server, so all I need to do is devide my results by 4 for you (1 element last 72 hours on a 1x radius for example, so that’s 18 hours on official).

Isnt 10x radius 10x the burn rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my server, 10x burnt through around 50 shards in 24 hours, which would be 200 shards or 2 element on official rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying it's closer to 2 element an hour or 2 element per 24 hrs? Just clarifying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just clarifying I don’t think the wiki was ever correct as the fuel consumption interval multiplier was halved on officials and the data still doesn’t match up. So from my findings, 10x = 2 element per 24 hours. Don’t take this as gospel though as I need more testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Tek gen built but have yet to FIRE UP THE REACTOR! I'm set at 2, gas lasts a while I just haven't paid attention or done le maths.

If you’re going to do real testing, use element shards instead of element as they will give a better picture, as 100 shards = 1 element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demerus Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 1 element lasts around 18 hours on lowest setting afaik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KessGenre Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 At this rate, the element/shard consumption has been tweaked too many times to say for sure, but I believe that it's somewhere between 1 element lasting 18-20 hrs, depending on server settings regarding fuel consumption. And as others have stated, I wouldn't trust the wiki's calculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
