Did you know that...
- The Geothermal Generator (GG) occupies just 33% of the area/clearance needed for a Wind Turbine?
- GG reliably produces 3600W of power compared to the Wind Turbine's MAXIMUM output of 3450W (average output of 1725W assuming a linear probability of wind)?
- GG costs just 90 Steel more than a Wind Turbine + 3 vanilla Batteries, despite having a component maintenance cost over time of only 25% compared with the Wind Turbine + Battery setup?
- GG doesn't require batteries because its power output is pretty much constant, so there are no risks of random catastrophic explosions or charge losses?
- 100% power generated by the GG (3600W) is used in contrast to a Wind Turbine + Batteries setup's 862.5W (1725W Wind turbine output on average * 50% due to battery efficiency).
- All maps except for Sea Ice spawn with about 4-6 geothermal vents in vanilla?
Given the above facts, do you see yourself often rushing to the Geothermal Generator technology directly as soon as you built a High-Tech Research Bench?
If your answer is yes, there is a possibility that the Geothermal Generator is a bit OP. This mod aims to address this possible issue.
Description
Nerfs the Geothermal Generator's power output to 2000W compared to vanilla's 3600W output. That's still 100% more output than a Vanometric Power Cell (reward-only) or a Ship Reactor (extremely expensive, bulky and late-game).

ANY HARD INCOMPATABILITIES??
This just patches a value in the Geothermal Generator.
And yes, it should work with Combat Extended.
