Coal Generator
The first fully automatable power source and the milestone that frees you from biomass.
- Output
- 75 MW each
- Fuel
- Coal + Water
The Coal Generator is the breakthrough moment in every Satisfactory playthrough: the first power source you can fully automate with mined coal and piped water, ending the tedium of hand-feeding biomass. At 75 MW each, a row of coal generators powers a serious factory.
The Automation Milestone
Reaching coal power is the single biggest early quality-of-life jump. It eventually gives way to fuel and nuclear, landing it solidly mid-tier on the power tier list.
