[i]Ready to harness the heat of the earth even further than just geothermal vents? want a power solution with some hair on its chest? Lava power introduces a reinforced complex capable of using the heat of lava to generate power.[/i]
Once you research geothermal power you can use that knowledge and build a generator on a plasteel-reinforced column that acts like an advanced geothermal plant, pumping out a whopping 4,000 Watts while lava is underneath it.
Note that it needs deeper occurrences of lava to operate, and cant be used with shallower/flowing lava, primarily limiting it to use around lava lakes.
I am not responsible for any worker injuries related to contact with lava.
Current building costs for the lava generator:
-Construction 9
-220 Steel
-100 Plasteel
-7 Components
