RimWorld: How to generate electricity - all info on supply

With the help of electricity, countless new possibilities open up in RimWorld. Our guide explains the means by which you can generate electricity and why this step is so important.

Always using electricity: all renewable energy sources are represented in RimWorld.

The adventure in RimWorld begins quite originally. But progress is not long in coming and electricity plays a central role.

RimWorld: Generate electricity - with these devices it is possible

The prerequisite for an electricity-powered base on a grand scale is research. There you namely unlock the appropriate modules, for example:

• If there is a river on the map, you can build a hydroelectric power plant on the bank. This generates 1,100 watts.
• If there are geysers on the map, these are an even better source of energy, because you can use the geothermal energy by power plant. This provides 3,600 watts, but must first be explored for 3,200 points.
• You can also explore solar panels. In conjunction with this, batteries are highly advisable to supply the base with power at night or in bad weather.

The wind turbine as well as the incinerator are available from the beginning. Thus, there are many ways to get electricity. This is important for quite a few purposes: with electricity you can provide lighting in your base, use electric workbenches (such as for cooking or sewing) and increase security with defense towers.Power sources and terminals you must connect by cable. This costs 1x steel per unit - so it's worth looking for steel scraps early on.
