The **Geothermal Power Station** is a power plant which generates [[energy]] from the heat within lava. It must be placed on top of a pool of lava in order to function. Its power production varies depending on where exactly it is placed; the optimal placement is in the center of a lava lake, where efficiency is highest.


Geothermal Power Stations are fully renewable-- they require no refueling or maintenance once placed. This is highly advantageous, especially for small or medium-sized remote outposts. Of course, the power station requires lava to operate, and is thus only useful on planets with lava on them.

Geothermal Power Station
Power Facility
A power generation facility using magma as an energy source. Combine multiple consecutive low-energy photons into one high-energy photon, and input energy to the grid stably. The power generation is directly related to the concentration of magma.
