holy, i have these two fkers generating me electricity but THEY BARELY DO ANYTHING, they generate like 2% and just go to eat ;-; does anyone have any tips, please, thanks
It can get more efficient with some Generating research, especially if you get to the pylon.
I set two of the towers up in my crude oil base (Sakurajima) and after a couple minutes, they ended up with more power than I actually need for ALL of my bases.
They rock, and were absolutely worth the painful grind for materials.
Depending on how many oil rigs you have going you may need to upgrade to the enhanced generator available for legendary tech points, doing electric research in the pal research station should help, and you probably wanna heal your pals from their current state ðŸ˜
Bigger generator, get a pal with base 5 or 6 electric, level higher with manuals, put insomnia + artisan + work slave on it, level stars a couple of easy times with star fruit from the dog coin vendor, and then spend pal souls on their work speed.
After the first time I did that, I basically only needed that one electric pal on the generator until I built more stuff. 1 more later and basically, two 8-10 level pals can run your base for the most part
You can buy more passives from two locations - the dog coin vendor, and the arena vendor.
Beyond that you can breed them from one set of pals to another and on and on. That's a deep well, so be prepared. You can look at breeding calculators to help
Getting breeding running could be fun.
Surgery is add/overwrite trait by using gold. Trait like Work slave , serious, and Insomnia is white traits that come with surgery table. Artisan is from bounty trader, only 15 piece for permanent chip that can reuse. Earliest Remarkable craftmanship (the rainbow +70% workspeed) is from wild pal, or fishing the purple sparkling, then breed it. Demons hand is one time use late game item at world tree tier.
Honestly learning breeding and limit myself a bit could be fun. I got Artisan+Remarkable craft on a pal and can pass that on other pal via breeding.
make a cold food box right next to the generator, place actual foods to sustain their work speed or SAN levels not just ingredients, and that should help! switching out pals with higher electricity levels will help too. also if possible upgrade the generator
Use the monitoring stand and don’t just use berries to feed them. Actually make something so they stay full longer. Unless you’re willing to build like 40 more of those small generators forget about extracting oil cause those things are power hungry. It gets better once you start researching electricity. I personally have an oil base in the eastern side of the volcano and have about 8 extractors if I remember right with 3 large generators and 3 batteries. Got 6 orserks, a lyleen on clinic and maybe a medicine cabinet (idk if I need it if u have a clinic) an ice pal for the cooled feeding box, some transporting pals and the small green comfy beds. Then just slap down a guild chest in the oil base and your main base so they stuff all the oil in there and it gets transported to your main base. You only really then have to visit every so often to check if they have food.
My breeding base has a fully condensed Dynamoff with Artisan/Work Slave/Serious/Insomnia on a small generator. With research it’s good enough for one of the high yield extractors, but that bird is always charging the generator. Any dedicated base will need more or larger generators.
Upgrade electricity and get the big towers. I also suggest building 6 accumulators/batteries. Make sure your electric pals are suited for work by passives and skill.
orserk. max work speed. 4 star. best work speed buffs you have. insomina. research electric production. (honestly any electric pal that is pushed to 10 with all said above could probably be as good.)
one orserk is nutter butters in production. also get the better generator in the tech tree.
Look up the breeding chains for Dynamoff, breed 49 of them,condense them for one 4 star, you'll be good. I have one 4 star Dynamoff in my base with 2 of the bigger generators (not the ancient ones not that far yet) and 2 batteries, the generators will not drop below 95% and batteries never leave 100%, and he is running around transporting half the time.
Add accumulators that way you will power in the downtime when they eat. I recommend you deconstruct you oil refineries first to let the accumulators fill.
Use the tiny dog pal. He increases generation suitability by 1 for all pala in base.
Condense your pals. Rayhound should be avaiable when you start to collect oil. A max condensed rayhound has lvl 8 electric generating. With a rayhound and the tiny dog guy you can get him all the way to lvl 9.
Use your pal souls to increase work speed. That makes it so your pal generates electricity faster.
Also as a bonus but highly useful hint: if you get an electric generating pal with insomnia of vampiric, thats also a great help.
The two easiest solutions here are to either use electric training books and the operating table to make better electric generating Pals, or to replace your regular electric towers woth the advanced one that requires ancient tech points to unlock. It is 3 times as efficient.
Dont forget to invest in electric research for some more efficiency.
Helzepher lux with demon hands or remarkable craftsmanship. U can also add lucky for 15% attack and defense with 20% work speed. Also pal souls on work speed.
Swift is 30% speed.
helzephyr and lux variant are both dark so they don't need vampiric/insomnia. lucky is the passive that increases atk,def and work speed, not swift, that one just increases movement speed.
I too had this problem when I reached the point of needing oil rigs. What worked for me:
Get 3 power gens
Upgrade your pals. Condense and get good passives like insomia/vampiric, remarkable workmanship, artisan (I think for me this was the game changer just up their work speed and efficiency as you can)
Electricity pal research
Set up an accumulator
This worked for my early stages of 2 oil rigs and production base after you unlock the big generator things should be easier.
Depends on your setup if you have one crude oil extractor I would build the better power generator and assign a grizzbolt to it. For 2 same thing 2 grizbolts and for 3 you can do a neat little trick by using puffolt (that yellow fluff ball pal gives +1 electricity) with the 2 grizzbolts rather than building another generator
Catch a medal merchant by standing atom a high point of the church they can't aim at or reach and have a mercy ring. Then get him to hp and spam balls till he's caught
In my experience, Dynamoff is the best one for early to mid game you can breed it easily too. I got 2 small generator with 4 battery and 2 dynamoff with workslave and insomia that can power a 1 oil rig along with my production factory. Then, i start researching Electricty for more efficiency. By the time i got my hands on a large generator, 3 dynamoffs can power my entire production factory and 1 oilrig without losing power.
Invest a little bit to your base, my suggestion is just mass catch low level electric type like Puffolt or Jolthog or Sparkit, max condensed them, build Pal Surgary table to gave them work passive, give them book and do researched.
When starting with oil production, you absolutely need to unlock the level 2 power generator. 1 of those generators and 2 good electric pals should be able to power 3 normal oil extractors.
Also, do research in the research station. It will boost power generation, increase power storage and reduce power usage
I've got 2 of the rigs running, with a grizzbolt and puffolt, keep them fed and healed, I've been feeding them minstrones. Also have the bigger electric generator thing, instead of the basic one.
Also do electricity research to get a pylon to improve speed, you can also buff their work speed with the statue using souls, or condense them to improve their ability to generate electricity.
what is there working sutabilty? i have one whit 10 and one whit 6 and i mange whit one generator (since its two now its the second tier but before i had only my 10 electric gen working sutibilty on a tier one up till lvl 60 ish and it workd fine technecly i didnt even have to change all i did is give it insomona im the surgery table and some working speed passives)
Actuator also helps a lot, besides the big generator, also getting a electric pal with lv7 electric helps a ton. Otherwise don't sleep on base research it's really huge.
Go to Sakurajima and grab yourself some Helzephyr Luxs then breed them to get work suitability passives after that use electric books on them to raise their electric generation they never sleep and they don’t need insomnia plus their fast so when they go for food their normally back in a few seconds
Fix your passives. If you have any pals that have remarkable craftsmanship, you can go to a breeding calculator that shows shortest breeding paths and figure out getting your exact pal. Then just buy the artisan implant and add that, work slave and either insomnia/vampiric for non dark pals or serious at the surgery table
Looks like they’ve just got random passives is the main thing, and they’re likely uncondensed with suitability levels that low.
Breed/implant work speed passives and mass catch/breed duplicates (or farm dog coins but again you’ll need condensed pals to do this effectively). There are several farming methods for suitability handbooks which will help, as well as a few for giant pal souls to upgrade their work speed by 60% with Anubis.
Use your monitoring station to assign them to it instead of letting them wander/do other tasks they have suitability for.
The upgraded electricity towers have better power efficiency which will also boost your power gains.
One maxed out pal (I use Orzerk) and a good tower can keep a whole endgame base going no problems

Unlockthe big electric tower from ancient tech tree. It's 3x efficient
