Uses[edit | edit source]
- Power Production Rate: 4 U/s
RTGs can be placed on platforms to provide a steady stream of power at all times.
Shelters and Field Shelters have low-power RTGs built-in, which cannot be removed. They provide 1U/s and 0.5U/s, respectively.
The material requirements for producing an RTG are somewhat extreme and require visiting no less than two planets simply to acquire the necessary gasses for manufacturing the required metals.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- If one purchases all materials for crafting exclusively from a Trade Platform and has already obtained all of the required gasses and processing machines beforehand, the actual Scrap cost of a single RTG is only 12 Scrap, with one Graphite and Hematite left over.
- The RTG is based on a real life power generator that has been used in space exploration.
