# Combustion Generators

Combustion Generators are powerful devices designed to generate energy by burning fuel, such as coal. These generators are ideal for environments where solar panels may not perform optimally, such as underground or in biomes with low sunlight exposure.

**Fuel-Based Energy Production**

The energy output of Combustion Generators is determined by the amount of fuel burned. By default, they produce a fixed amount of energy per unit of fuel:

* **Energy Output**:
  * Per Coal: 5.0 energy/second

**Configuration**

The settings for Combustion Generators can be adjusted in the `features/generators.yml` file. Below is an example configuration:

```yaml
