Power Generator
Tech Level 26 for three points. This is the first real grid for your base, and almost every midgame machine waits on it.
Craft with Ingot ×50 and Electric Organ ×20. Workload is light, commonly around 500, so the build itself is quick once you've farmed organs. Assign Generating Electricity pals to fill the tank; storage is often cited near 250,000, which covers early lines if you don't idle every station at once.
Without this structure, Sphere Assembly Line, Weapon Assembly Line, Production Assembly Line, Refrigerator, Electric Kitchen, and Electric Furnace never spin up. Place the generator where pathing is clean, keep a dedicated Generating worker parked, and add an Accumulator when overflow starts dumping unused charge.
Graduate to a Large Power Generator once Oil Extractor farms and multi-furnace bases outgrow the basic tank. Until then, one solid Power Generator plus Accumulator buffering is enough to learn the powered factory loop.
