The '''Combustion Generator''' burns a liquid fuel together with an oxidizer to generate large amounts of power.

''This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2, for 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2). All numbers are the default values from the startup config and can be changed there.''

== Usage ==
Fill one tank with a fuel and the other with an oxidizer. Each burn uses 250 mB of fuel plus the oxidizer amount below, and lasts 1,600 ticks ("Fixed Process Time"). If "Balanced Mode" is enabled in the config, the burn time comes from the oxidizer's recipe instead. While burning, the generator produces '''the fuel's FE/t × the oxidizer's multiplier''' and pushes it into adjacent blocks.

For example, Diesel with Oxygen makes 160 × 2 = 320 FE/t for 1,600 ticks (512,000 FE) from 250 mB of Diesel and 125 mB of Oxygen.

The "default face" is the side of the machine that automation (hoppers, pipes) uses for the slot by default, relative to the machine's front. It can be changed in the machine's IO settings.

Crafting a Combustion Generator on its own in a crafting grid returns a fresh Combustion Generator, clearing its stored data.
