Essentially a '''Heat Generator''' is a geothermic generator that requires heat from the earth's lava in order to generate its electricity. Generally each generator can hold about 160.0 kJ worth of energy on its own. The best way to get the energy is to make several generators in a row, with a lava pool directly under it for an infinite slow source of power. Also watch out as sometimes random fires might start near the generators. We all know you wouldn't want to be caught on fire, it really burns when you lose your items after death. | Essentially a '''Heat Generator''' is a geothermic generator that requires heat from the earth's lava in order to generate its electricity.

Essentially a Heat Generator is a geothermic generator that requires heat from the earth's lava in order to generate its electricity. Generally each generator can hold about 160.0 kJ worth of energy on its own. The best way to get the energy is to make several generators in a row, with a lava pool directly under it for an infinite slow source of power. Also watch out as sometimes random fires might start near the generators. We all know you wouldn't want to be caught on fire, it really burns when you lose your items after death.
There seems to be a link between the amount of lava source blocks around the heat generator and the amount of energy it produces every second. For every lava source block placed next to or on the Heat Generator, the power output will raise 5 more joules of energy(or 100 watts) every second. Buckets of lava may also be placed in the generator to provide a temporary boost to energy output. However, it is not currently possible to pump lava into the generators automatically using Fluid Mechanics pipes.
