Frostpunk Heat Generator Tower
Version: 0.0.3
This mod adds the Heat Generator Tower from Frostpunk, originally created by wws_kyon. The original mod was taken down around June 2025, but this version has been updated, rebalanced, and expanded by me. Without other mods, the Generator works as a powerful heater, pushing 750 heat per second (35x that of a vanilla heater) to an enclosed space until it reaches 60 degrees, while emitting light in a 20-tile radius. The Generator burns 150 fuel per day (15x that of a campfire), must be refuelled by hand with chemfuel or wood, and can hold up to 500 units of fuel.
This mod also adds a larger Generator, costing significantly more to build and burning twice as much fuel, but producing more than twice as much heat (2500 per second) without the maximum temperature restrictions of the standard Generator, as well as lighting a 40 tile radius. These upgraded Generators are designed to withstand even the coldest whiteouts the Frostlands can throw at them, but they can also be used to superheat small spaces. Both types of Generator are vulnerable to breakdowns, and can suffer catastrophic explosions when severely damaged.
Alternative version that produces electricity instead of heat:

Optional Mod Compatibility:
[OA]Ratkin Scenario: Snowstorm Orphan = Hypothermia is reduced during snowstorms in a 26-tile radius around the Generator or a 60-tile radius around the upgraded Generator, which also reduces Hypothermia at twice the speed.
Dubs Central Heating / Dubs Bad Hygiene = Generators act as 25000-unit and 60000-unit boilers, and can be connected to pipes and radiators. As a result, significantly less heat is released around the Generator.
Rimefeller = Can be connected to chemfuel pipes and refuelled automatically.
[WD] Simple Coal (Continued) / Simple Chains: Steel = Coal is added as a fuel source.
Vanilla Temperature Expanded / Cybranian - Terraforming Asteroids = Proxy Heat implementation, raising the temperature by 80 degrees in a 26 tile radius, up to a maximum of 30 degrees. Also melts snow within 26 tiles, providing the temperature is above zero. Upgraded Generators heat a 60 tile radius by 200 degrees, up to a maximum of 50 degrees, and melt snow in the same radius. [People reported lag when using this with the original mod, nothing seems particularly laggy about the code in the mod, so I imagine it's just a limitation of having so many tiles proxy heated.]
