The Electrical Generator is a placeable structure that converts fuel into electrical power. Place it on a foundation or platform and connect it to devices via power lines and cables to run equipment like refrigerators, fabricators, and automated machinery.
Generators consume fuel over time as they operate. You can spawn one with its GFI code or item ID 186. Since it has no blueprint variant, the quality and blueprint flags in the spawn command will be ignored.
