| | | |
| | | The hydro generator is an LV power generator that generates a small amount |
| | | of power from the natural motion of water. To operate, the generator must |
| | | be horizontally adjacent to water. It doesn't matter whether the water |
| | | consists of source blocks or flowing blocks. Having water adjacent on |
| | | more than one side, up to the full four, increases the generator's output. |
| | | The water itself is unaffected by the generator. |
| | | The hydro generator is an LV power generator that generates a respectable |
| | | amount of power from the natural motion of water. To operate, the |
| | | generator must be horizontally adjacent to flowing water. The power |
| | | produced is dependent on how much flow there is across any or all four |
| | | sides, the most flow of course coming from water that's flowing straight |
| | | down. |
