However, it is limited in its placement and must be placed directly on top of a lava pool or a borehole left by a [[Core Driller]]. The power production of the Geothermal Power Station varies, depending on where exactly it is placed; the optimal placement is in the center of a magma pool, where efficiency is highest. If placed on a borehole, the Level of the destroyed Dark Fog base determines its efficiency. | ||
Geothermal Power Stations are fully renewable, and they require no refueling or maintenance once placed. This is highly advantageous, especially for small or medium-sized remote outposts on [[Stars_and_planets#Lava|Lava]] planets. | Geothermal Power Stations are fully renewable, and they require no refueling or maintenance once placed.
