Steam geysers are randomly generated per map, sometimes close to each other, others scattered towards the edges or center. Colonies are often seen built in their proximity from early days for future benefit.}} |

− | [[ | + | It can be built indoors, but this causes [[Temperature|heat]] buildup and eventually [[fire]]. A prevention method is to leave an open path towards [[Environment#Openness|outside]] or intentionally [[Remove roof area|unroof]] the setup. [[Vent]]s can be used to pipe the heat into other rooms. An open door will also release some of the heat from its room. However, in cold [[biomes]], the increased temperature becomes beneficial as heat is needed instead. The amount of heat it provides is only a little more than a normal [[heater]]. |

− | + | Geothermal generators are excellent as a sustainable power source, providing permanent, free energy. These should be researched after fabrication to provide free power for your growing base. As they usually make up a significant portion of a colony's power generation and geysers can spawn inopportune locations, care should be taken to defend them from destruction. | |
