Overview

Advanced Generators is a modular multiblock mod created by bdew that focuses on free-form power generation. Unlike traditional single-block generators, this mod allows players to assemble various components—such as turbines, capacitors, and fuel tanks—into a single functional unit of any shape.

The mod features four primary multiblock machines: * Gas Turbine Generator: Converts liquid fuels (like Syngas, Ethylene, or Biofuel) into power. * Steam Turbine Generator: Converts Steam into power. * Syngas Producer: Converts solid carbon sources (like Coal or Charcoal) and Water/Steam into Syngas fluid. * Heat Exchanger: Transfers heat between fluids, such as cooling Lava into Obsidian to produce Steam.

These machines are highly compatible with other major tech mods, supporting power systems like Forge Energy (FE), Redstone Flux (RF), and IndustrialCraft 2's Energy Units (EU).

Frequently asked questions

How do I build a basic steam turbine setup?
Place a Steam Turbine Controller and attach Basic Turbine blocks to it, then supply Steam from a source such as a Heat Exchanger. The controller converts the steam into power using the attached turbine blocks.
How do I make a Gas Turbine work?
Place a Gas Turbine controller and connect it to a Fuel/Air Mixer, which combines fuel with air from a Gas Intake Valve. The resulting mix is burned in the controller to produce power.
What does the Syngas Producer Controller do?
It converts input materials into Syngas, which can be stored in a Fuel Tank or piped to a Gas Turbine controller. Syngas is also available as a Syngas Bucket for manual transport.
How do I upgrade my turbine to a better tier?
Craft the appropriate Upgrade Kit (Basic, Reinforced, Composite, Enhanced, or Advanced Turbine Upgrade Kit) and apply it to the turbine. Each tier requires the corresponding rotor, such as a Basic Turbine Rotor or Reinforced Turbine Rotor.
What is the Sensor Module used for?
The Sensor Module is a block that detects conditions in the generator setup and outputs a redstone signal. It is used alongside the Redstone Control Module to automate generator behavior.
How do I store power from my generators?
Place a Power Capacitor block (Basic, Advanced, or High Density) and connect it to your generator's power output. Capacitors buffer energy and can be upgraded with the matching Capacitor Upgrade Kit.
What do the Voltage Emitters do?
Low, Medium, High, Extreme, and Insane Voltage Emitters output power at different voltage tiers. Use the emitter tier that matches the machine or cable you are connecting to.
How do I move items in and out of the generator?
Use the Item Input Port to feed items in and the Item Output Port to extract items. Both attach to the generator multiblock and connect to your item transport system.
What is the Heat Exchanger for?
The Heat Exchanger, controlled by the Heat Exchanger Controller, transfers heat between fluids. It is used to produce Steam from a Heating Chamber for steam turbine setups.
How do I get Steam for my steam turbine?
Steam is produced by the Heat Exchanger and can be piped directly to a Steam Turbine Controller. It can also be stored or moved as a Steam Bucket.
What is the Power IO Module used for?
The Power IO Module handles power input and output for the generator multiblock. It lets you connect capacitors and emitters to the generator's internal energy buffer.
What does the Redstone Control Module do?
The Redstone Control Module lets the generator respond to redstone signals, enabling or disabling operation. Combine it with a Sensor Module to automate startup and shutdown based on tank levels or other conditions.
