Water Generators
by Xiaoxianben
Water Generators adds a Forge generator that turns water into FE power, alongside other fuel-driven generators in the Technology category.
What it does
Water Generators is a Technology mod for Forge 1.12.2 that adds a set of simple FE generators. Its water generator is one of several, joined by a liquid generator and a steam generator, so a base can draw power from more than one source. The author notes that under basic circumstances only a few machine series are involved, and the generators are built to produce electricity at a high power output.
The mod works alongside the Thermal Dynamics and Thermal Foundation mods, whose synthetic materials and generators the author recommends adding. Installing both the Water Generators module and those two mods at the same time is not advised by the author, so players are asked to choose one module at a time. No required dependency is listed for Forge.
Files are published for Forge 1.12.2 only. The client and server both need the mod, so the server and every player must run it. The code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes the mod open source. The source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.
