{{Building page
|overview=[[Burner Generator]]s are the first [[Building]] settlements get access to that generates [[Power]]. At first, the buildings requiring power must be touching the Burner Generator, until [[Power Lines]] can transport it over roads and empty tiles.
|unlock=The Burner Generator is unlocked after a [[Mine]] produces the first 5 [[Iron Ore]].
|production=The Burner Generator produces [[Power]] by consuming [[Wood]] or [[Wood Waste]] into [[Soot]].

There may need to be available [[Storage]] nearby for the [[Soot]], since as soon as the generate fills with Soot, it can no longer produce power. If there are no [[Tools]] available to build a [[Storage Shed]], and no power because the generator is full of Soot, the generator or another [[Building]] may need to be demolished.
|purpose=
|adjacency_effects=4x empty tiles, including roads
* -20% speed
* -25% [[Pollution]]
|strategy=A single Burner Generator can power multiple other early-settlement buildings like the [[Ore Smelter]], [[Metal Smelter]], and [[Toolsmith]]. However, be sure not to crowd them around the generator and lose its [[Adjacency Effect]], because [[Pollution]] is a big risk around the generator and the buildings that use its [[Power]].

Situating a Burner Generator amid several [[Forests]] can offset its pollution, even if it is running continuously.

Despite early settlements having extra [[Wood Waste]], it may be prudent to never enable the generator to burn Wood Waste for power, because the by-product is essential and in significant quantities for producing [[Compost]] necessary for [[terraforming]].
