I checked myself. The first layer of Silva does contain some medium generators. However, they are a bit rare. If you find one by coincidence, it is great but it would be faster to get amonium and Alumium to make a thruster to go to Desolo in order to get walfremite/Tungsten in order to craft a medium generator in Sylva.
I use one of the medium generators on a platform(has to be, no power outlet) to open the exo research pods, and as emergency backup power. On Sylva wind and solar are good, with a some small batteries set up to even it all out. a couple medium wind turbines you can find on broke down bases around the starting area. Zinc for small batteries and you have infinite power that needs no hand holding or feeding.
I need to throw this out there the medium generator lasts long enough to make power a furnace to make fuel for 6 or maybe even 9 other medium generators each making enough energy to power two furnaces you see where this is going :)
If you assume you can build medium resource canister a set up of small batteries, and small solar panels and small wind turbines are enough for early game power. With just a tractor and trailer you can even find all year need pretty easy. A setup which require no input from the player to operate is infinitely better than one which does.
For me I did: Small generator > S wind turbine > M wind turbine > S and M batteries > Medium generator > RTGs I did not use large solar panels or Large wind turbines because it's not worth the ressources.
I've owned this for a long time but haven't played in forever. Is there not power storage in the game? Seems the other power sources would be fine if you have power storage you can use.
There is but you need a lot of power storage to get good stuff running fast late game. There are medium and small batteries. A viewer pointed out that batteries do work well for them so maybe I should look into it with more detail.
In the late game, I normally spam RTGs, but if you're tactical enough, the other clean energies are certainly viable. I just like the simplicity and consistency of the RTG.
@@willkenboocat Perhaps I'll do that. Or a video on how to make a solid late game base or something. Probably will do so next week, though, since I already have stuff planned this week.

Mass production!
@@worldclassjerk-epicgamer plus you could load some soil centerfeuges
a better way to get renewable bio are sappers because they only need a tree or hazard to work indefinitely

Yeah they need to balance stuff out a lot.
I didn't use the medium generator but now i will.... Only thing i need is 3 of them... And automatic soil to carbon line with 3 m canisters
Might make a video on soil to carbon.
@@worldclassjerk-epicgamer thank you. I really enjoy these videos
Also I've heard that you can have infinite solar energy if you go to the poles because the sun never sets there. It'll be a good video if it works
Yeah infinite solar would be op.
Thank you that was really useful
thanks man so ueful :)

ok what about mid game or late game,
In the late game, I normally spam RTGs, but if you're tactical enough, the other clean energies are certainly viable.

Do you have a late game base?
Yes. Also most of my videos are made on a creative version of my late game survival save.
@@worldclassjerk-epicgamer you should give us a tour
@@willkenboocat Perhaps I'll do that. Or a video on how to make a solid late game base or something. Probably will do so next week, though, since I already have stuff planned this week.
I wish i knew the best power sourse elarier
Very satisfying to use it.
