This electrical generator very slowly pollutes the terrain in a radius around it while producing energy. If all terrain in the radius is polluted, the generator will shut down.

Power

1400 W

The toxifier generator is a power generator added by the Biotech DLC.

Acquisition

Toxifier generators can be constructed once the Toxifier generator research project has been completed. They require  125 Steel,  3 Components, 8,000 ticks (2.22 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 4.

Once constructed, a toxifier generator cannot be moved, it can only be deconstructed.

Summary

Each generator produces 1400W and pollutes 6 tiles every 3 days, for an average of 2 tiles a day.

Analysis

Clean energy

The toxifier generator's key drawback is its pollution, however, with sufficient infrastructure it can provide net positive power without polluting the map.

Each generator produces an average of 2 tiles of pollution per day. A pollution pump cleans 4 tiles of pollution per day, where 6 tiles = 1 toxic wastepack. The wastepack atomizer destroys 2 wastepacks a day, or 12 pollution tiles. Pumps consume -200W of power, and atomizers consume -400W. A ratio of 6 toxifier generators : 3 pollution pumps : 1 atomizer is fully clean and has a net power of 7400 W.
