[suggestion] internal fueltank for generator

Quote from Alblaka

THAT won't pose an issue. Even vanilla furnaces can simply store "one value".
IC is already using that one value to supply whole cans of fuel... the number really doesn't care which value you assign to it. There won't be an issue with using one unit of BC-oil to provide X fuel points.

Adding the ability to pour multiple cans of fuel in would be possible... But I'm not sure whether it's within the range of what the Generator is intended to do.
How about we put this on the list for a special generator, which is meant to run off fuel, gas (if implemented) and BC oil, using said materials in a higher efficiency then the normal generator (if at all) with a higher EU output, probably about 30 EUt, too compensate for the incapability to burn simple stuff (wood, coal) as well as the fact you're using complex and limited fuel materials.

This I like that will finally make making fuel a viable option.

Perfekt then that Tin-saving suggestion is backed up here isn´t it you want us "coal and biofuel is useless"-people to shut up right!

Support Support Support. In German: Ich bin dafür, Jawohl!

It always was... Espectally with the Transformers Addon ... that thing is a god-send to the would-be power plant operator

Sorry I mix up German and English grammar.

I vote for gas turbine... With the added twist that it uses EU for a few seconds to spin up to speed before it can generate.

Or maybe that it sucks up any item you drop nearby, grinds it up and spits it out the back... Unless it's explosive, which might cause "problems"

Hmm, yeah it is German, might not be German grammar, just slang, but i can sure say that sentence with almost the same word order in German.

to back up (bedeutet etwas unterstützen ...)

I am an American and German, you think i do not know what to back up means?
Just google it you`ll find:
to back up (etwas unterstützten) a.k.a can be used in the same sense as to support.(vergleichbar mit hinter der Idee stehen)

Currently thinking in ways to add fuel support for the generator. Perhaps it could take the fuel directly into the burner.

I think, if Fuel can't be liquid as for BC fuel, it can't be move like that, but it could work with the Gen/newGen next to the pump/miner/other device, as for pump with miner.
Simply use the container for fuel (special machine or simply chest) next to your Gen, and it will work by itself, aren't you ?

Easiest way is Geogen-like behavior.

The main issue would be making it support both fuel and liquid

Let any fuel increase internal storage. Do not separate solid and liquid fuel. And a gas too in case it will be added.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking!
