A geothermal energy collector that harvests heat from hydrothermal vents and hot biomes, generating between 1 and 16 energy/sec depending on local temperature. At maximum output near a hot vent in the Graveyard or Zezuran Desert biome, it rivals the Bioreactor with zero fuel cost. Must be installed outside the base close to a heat source and connected via Power Transmitters.

Notes
Output: 1–16 energy/sec (heat-dependent). Peaks near active hydrothermal vents.
Tips:
- Best planted within 5m of a visible vent or lava seep — the heat gradient drops off sharply with distance.
- Recipe requires Gold (Graveyard biome) — you need Heat Tolerance Adaptation before farming the ingredients.
- Excellent choice for deep-zone forward outposts where Solar is useless and Biofuel supply logistics are difficult.
