Changes: F.U.E.L. Generator

Revision as of 07:46, 7 February 2019

The F.U.E.L. Generator is a production structure featured in The Last Stand: Dead Zone.

Description

Fabricated Universal Element Liquid Generator converts resources to Fuel. Needs restocking after collection.

Details

The F.U.E.L. Generator produces Fuel over a period of 46 hours, which is stored in the Generator until it reaches full capacity. Once it reaches full capacity, production is stopped and will not resume until the Fuel is collected. Once collected, it will be added to the compound's stock of Fuel. Upgrades to this structure improve its temporary storage capacity and production speed.

Even if the Generator was not at full capacity when the Fuel was collected, it must be restocked with Wood, Metal and Cloth before it can produce more. It will also need to be restocked if the Fuel was stolen during a raid. Upgrading the generator does not restock it; moreover, the raised cost applies, so it's best to restock the generator before upgrading it. Books that affect repair costs also affect the restock costs. If restocked and then upgraded, the generator continues its production. Researching generator capacity will increase its production time.

If a F.U.E.L. Generator is attacked after being scavenged, it will stop working. Otherwise, it will continue working normally, as if it had just been restocked.^{[confirmation needed]}

Specifications

Indoor and outdoor placement.
Can be scavenged from during raids.
Occupies area of 5x5 squares bordered by walking area.
Provides Low Cover.
Collecting from this structure while fuel is being generated has a chance of providing extra resources Unlike the other production structures, it does not need to be at full capacity to give bonus fuel when collected.^{[n 1]}

Trivia

Initially, the F.U.E.L. Generator could not be moved unless it was restocked. This was corrected in a later update.

Notes

↑ The amount of bonus fuel provided depends on how much fuel the generator had already generated when the player collects from it. The bonus is capped at 5 .
