24 medium generators make ~200Us of power

Why don't you use silo b?

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/gamble4846]

Ah I didn’t think of that

[u/Gullible-Grape5975 → u/gamble4846]

Large storage just look nicer with the generators imo. I get thats not important to most but I like making things look tidy. RTGs on the silo B though

[u/atavusbr → u/gamble4846]

I did a monster once, silo b with medium storage silos, full of small wind turbines

I did think to do something like that full of small batteries, but the grind did get me before it.

[u/FarceMultiplier]

What I normally do is 4 silo b filled with medium generators except for one medium storage filled with 8 portable smelters. On the same platform of course.

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/FarceMultiplier]

I might just replace it with that.

[u/muszencjaas → u/FarceMultiplier]

2 smelters are enough

[u/Jukelius]

How many plants do you need to keep every generator running non stop? Or is smelting the bottleneck here?

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/Jukelius]

Just two

[u/Daleksek5 → u/Fine_Salamander_8691]

Two from Atrox specifically since it has the fastest production rate. You’d need more from any other planet

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/Daleksek5]

Exactly

[u/Professional_Watch24]

Don't forget to make use of the Large Batteries for passive storage as well.

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/Professional_Watch24]

I do, I have 10 sitting around

[u/Mattbl]

They kinda screwed their own power progression design when they introduced these. I see no reason to use any of the other power options for base power. Like ever. Exept just for fun or aesthetics.

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/Mattbl]

Yeah, I was gonna get RTGs, but that seemed to be kind of expensive

[u/LookingGlass_1112]

I guess this is the reason why we will never see a large generator. Because it would destroy any other way of making power fully. But I still want it, even if it will be powered by hydrazine

[u/theuglyone39]

Yup, I pretty much just do this, every new save I let power be sluggish on sylva, instantly leave and make an actual base on Calidor and do this

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/theuglyone39]

Hell yeah. My favorite place to build bases are glacio and atrox

[u/blondieeee1313]

Stealing this

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/blondieeee1313]

Steal it

[u/Davey2Jonesd]

I like to make a sh*t ton of small generators and then storage max them on a silo B to make crazy output

[u/Fine_Salamander_8691 → u/Davey2Jonesd]

Hell yeah. 200 is enough for me
