Generating Power from Food with the Simple Culinary Generator

What It Burns

The Simple Culinary Generator turns food items into energy. Any edible item you would normally eat can be dropped into its fuel slot to be consumed for power.

Setting It Up

Craft and place the Simple Culinary Generator, then open its interface. Put food into the input slot. The generator burns the food and produces energy for nearby machines or cables. Surplus crops, cooked meats, and other food you do not need are good candidates.

Scaling Up

Once the Simple Culinary Generator is running reliably, swap it for the Upgradable Culinary Gen. The upgradable block uses the same food-based fuel but supports further improvement, so you can keep feeding it the same farm output while getting more from each item.
