A Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (RTG) is a passive power source that generates power from the decay of radioactive isotopes.
|
|
|
|
They require no maintenance and are a reliable source of power, making them ideal for powering essential systems that need to be online at all times, like Telecoms, the AI, or the Crew Monitoring Server.
|
|
|
|
RTGs always generate [color=orange][protodata="GeneratorRTG" comp="PowerSupplier" member="MaxSupply" format="N0"/] W[/color] of power and must be connected to an [color=orange]HV power[/color] [textlink="network" link="VoltageNetworks"] to function.

However, they're only accessible through salvage finding one on an expedition. Should they bring some in, make sure to thank them!

## RTG Damage

If RTGs take enough damage, they can become damaged RTGs.
|
|
Damaged RTGs behave just like regular ones, but they're [color=yellow]radioactive[/color].
|
|
|
|
That means they're more dangerous, but on the bright side, you can put radiation collectors next to them to turn that radiation into more power.
|
|
This is usually more worthwhile, considering the power is still free, so long as you can find a safe spot to put the RTG(s) in.
