Fluid-Based Generators

Fluid generators utilize liquid fuels stored in an internal tank. These machines typically consume 1 mB of fluid per tick to generate energy.

Fluid Combustion Generator: Burns combustible fluids such as Oil or Fuel from other mods. It consumes 1 mB/t and provides a steady energy output.
Geothermal Generator: Consumes Lava to produce energy. It is a staple for early-to-mid game power, especially when paired with automated lava production.
Turbine Generator: Uses Water or Steam (depending on version and installed mods) to generate power through mechanical rotation.
XP Generator: Consumes Liquid XP (Experience) to generate energy, making it ideal for players with high-yield mob farms.

Upgradable Generators feature a dedicated GUI with slots for modifiers. These modifiers are often found under the ValkyrieLib namespace in JEI.

Function: Increases the energy production rate (FE/t).
Cost: Each speed modifier increases the fuel consumption rate proportionally. For example, a 100% speed increase will consume fuel twice as fast.
Stacking: Up to 4 stacks of speed modifiers can be placed in a single Upgradable Generator in some versions, allowing for massive power throughput at the cost of high fuel demand.

Function: Increases the total amount of energy extracted from a single unit of fuel.
Benefit: Ideal for rare fuels like Nether Stars or Dragon's Breath to ensure maximum energy return.
