A current-driven turbine that generates a constant 12 energy/sec when placed in natural underwater currents. The best long-term passive power source in EA 1.0 — no fuel, no daylight dependency. Must be installed outside the base in a current-bearing location and connected via Power Transmitters. Once sited correctly, it will outperform Solar Panels at night and match the Bioreactor without needing consumable fuel.

Notes
Output: 12 energy/sec (requires natural current; 0 if placed in still water).
Tips:
- Placement is critical — check for visible water particle flow before installing. The Shallows near the Lifepod has several current channels.
- Connect to base via [power-transmitter] chain. The final Transmitter must attach directly to the base exterior.
- Best early endgame choice for stable overnight power once Solar Panels prove insufficient.
