Add RPM selector to the generator#7114

Add the ability to change the RPM of the generator, example, set it to 25% only outputs 10 power but uses 75% less fuel, perfect for a single turret.

Please add diesel crafting and make it useful for more things

You have seen the video then :-)

That would be nice I think. It would help cave dwellers that only want a few ceiling lights save a lot of fuel. Use a pressure pad to automatically start the generator when you enter your base and turn it off when you leave.

As for the video you linked. A no to batteries keeping their charge when being picked up. If you want to go raiding with auto turrets, bring a generator and some low grade fuel. You can power 3 auto turrets with that thing for hours at “full RPM”. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for given how much protection these damn things offer. This kind of speaks against your suggestion though, but at least it requires a bit more effort than just having a charging station and a row of batteries in a chest ready go to.

Watched the video today before reading the post thought it may have been linked.
I support this RPM control.
