Backup generators provide a stopgap to prevent black/brownouts when battery reserves are depleted.
Features
--------------------------------
* Generators start producing power when connected reserves are critically low (<= 200 Wd) and stop when reserves exceed 1000 Wd or their power is flicked off/on
* Brand new art! Uranium version! Thanks, Xsile!
Specifics
--------------------------------
* Each generator type should appear in the Power category when the research requirements are fulfilled (see: Change Log)
* Generators consume some fuel even when idling, although less than power-producing Vanilla fueled generators
