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. | |||

Summary
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.
