How to Connect Power in Beyond These Stars
Set up a Burner Generator and connect early industrial buildings.
Power is a flow used by buildings such as mines, ore smelters and toolsmiths. Early transmission is adjacency-based: a consumer must touch the Home Spaceship or a powered generator. Power is not stored in a Warehouse according to the supplied community-wiki material.
Burner Generator checklist
- Build a mine and produce five iron ore, then unlock the Burner Generator and Ore Smelter in the technology tree.
- Place the generator beside a road and away from housing where possible.
- Enable wood, wood waste or both in the generator controls.
- Put consumers inside the yellow power outline, preferably directly adjacent.
- Activate the recipe and assign workers.
A generator with fuel can still sit idle when construction is unfinished or staffing is missing. Buildings do not automatically pass power through one another in the early layout.
Extending the grid
The power-chaining perk lets a powered building supply another building. Power Lines later remove the need for every building to touch the source. Fuel Generators, Battery Generators and Solar Panels appear in the power branch, but exact costs and unlock timing are 待确认.
Pollution
The supplied source describes a Burner Generator with four nearby empty tiles as producing less pollution per cycle at slower production. Treat that figure as source-specific until confirmed in the current build. Keep industry away from homes, preserve forest space and use Cleaners or Purifiers as the colony grows.
