About this converter
Satisfactory generators each give a fixed MW output at 100 percent clock. Biomass gives 30, coal gives 75, fuel gives 250 and nuclear gives 2500. Geothermal varies by geyser purity with averages of 100, 200 and 400. The Alien Power Augmenter gives 500 plus a grid boost. Overclock scales linearly to 250 percent, so max clock multiplies output by 2.5. This page pins those fixed outputs for grid math. That makes one nuclear plant equal over thirty three coal generators.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first generator, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total MW. Try Nuclear against Coal to see how many coal units match one reactor, then Pure geothermal against Fuel.
Biomass scales with demand and cannot charge storage. Other fuel generators run at full set clock and shut down if fuel fails. Geothermal output swings between 0.5 and 1.5 times average on a one minute cycle, so use storage to smooth it. Map total average is 7100 from 31 geysers. Alien boost is 10 percent unfueled and 30 percent fueled with 5 matrices per min.
FAQ
What does each base generator make?
Biomass 30 MW, coal 75 MW, fuel 250 MW, nuclear 2500 MW and Alien Augmenter 500 MW.
What do geothermal units average?
Impure 100 MW, normal 200 MW, pure 400 MW. Each swings from half to 1.5 times average.
Does fuel type change fuel generator output?
No. Fuel, turbofuel, rocket fuel and ionized fuel all give 250 MW. Only burn time changes.
What is the map total for geothermal?
7100 MW average from 31 geysers. Range is 3550 to 10650 MW.
