The Tek Generator can provide devices with electricity without the need of cables. It is able to power all normal electrical devices and is the only Generator able to power Tek devices. It is also needed for maintaining underwater bases.

Notes

  • The Tek Generator uses 1 Element Element or 100 Element Shard Element Shard in 18 hours for the radius 1.0 plus 0.33 for each additional unit of radius. That is:
    • on 2.0× radius 1.33 Element every 18 hours or 1 every ≈13 1⁄2 hours.
    • on 5.0× radius 2.32 Element every 18 hours or 1 every ≈7 3⁄4 hours.
    • on 10.0× radius 3.97 Element every 18 hours or 1 every ≈4 1⁄2 hours.
  • To unlock the Tekgram for the Tek Generator you have to defeat the Megapithecus Megapithecus on medium / beta, the Manticore Manticore on easy / gamma difficulty, Rockwell Rockwell on easy / gamma difficulty, the Desert Titan Desert Titan, or the Crystal Wyvern Queen Crystal Wyvern Queen on easy / gamma difficulty.
  • Although other Tek structures such as Tek Turrets can be placed on rafts or other mobile bases, the Tek Generator can not, as doing so renders it useless.
  • Prior to 281.107 Tek Generators were affected by electrical storms on Scorched Earth, but are not subject to durability decay.

Coverage

  • 3 foundations radius on 1.0×.
  • 19 foundations diameter on 5.0×.
  • 37 foundations diameter on the 10.0×.

Painting and Color Regions

Hitting the Tek Generator with a dyed Paintbrush will colorize the glow while activated.

 
X mark

The Tek Generator is not currently paint-able, however this object may be re-mapped to include paint regions in a future update.
