Thermal Generator MK2
Thermal Generator MK2 raises the temperature cap, output, and storage. One unit can replace several MK1 machines in parallel.

How it works
Section titled “How it works”The heat system matches the Thermal Generator. The numbers are different:
- Closer to optimal temperature means higher efficiency
- Below 50 temperature it does not generate
- Fuel burns faster. Short-term output is higher
- Each 1 UE costs 0.5 temperature (MK1 is 0.08). Low burn-value fuel struggles to hold heat
The burn table is the same. See the Thermal Generator fuel table. Lava buckets, Hellstone Bars, and Coal work better as the main fuel.
