Water Generator is an upgraded form of a Well. It's a non-powered generator that generates Water.

It holds 1200 units of water. While dispensing water, it has a chance to release Algae and Methanol.

Note: Water Generator doesn't work on ships or player stations.

Optimizing Water Production

Its speed is 1 unit of water per second when no other Well/Water Generator is in a 16 tile radius. You can check if another Well/Water Generator is in the decrease range with the Scanning Mode ([N]), by inspecting the Water Generator. If 1 other Well/Water Generator is in this radius, it produces 1/sqrt(2) = 0.7 water/s. If 2 other ones are in range, it produces 1/sqrt(3) = 0.58 water/s, etc.

Ideally, they are used while no other one is in range.

Trivia

• With the default stack size of 1000, the Water Generator may appear to be full at 1000 when it actually has up to 200 more units in reserve. Removing the stack will immediately fill up the first slot with any remaining water the Generator was holding.
