Geothermal generators are excellent as a sustainable power source, providing a relatively large amount of permanent, free energy. This comes at the cost of being locked into set positions on map generation. It is often worth choosing a base location that is reasonably close to a steam geyser. Having access to a single geyser can significantly offset a colony's power needs, while having several can potentially fully supply a modest late-game base. If geysers are available in reasonable locations, [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] should be researched relatively early, to provide eternal power for your growing base. | Geothermal generators are excellent as a sustainable power source, providing a relatively large amount of permanent, free energy.
