===[[File:SMES Charging.gif]] With Your Powers Combined ===
--------
There are multiple ways to power the station. Unless you know what you're doing, stick with the default one at first, and get it working as soon as possible. It's hard to set up a second power source if the crew is trying to lynch you for not finishing the first one.

====[[File:Supermatter shard.png]] Matters of Super Matter ====
The [[Supermatter]] is the most likely candidate for your default power source. Its primary features are emitting tons of radiation, making everyone who could theoretically see it hallucinate, releasing hot oxygen and plasma, heating the air around, and either exploding or creating a Tesla/Singularity when you screw up. It begins inert but being hit by an object or projectile will activate it.

====[[File:Gravitational Singularity Generator.png]] Power Your Station With A Black Hole ====
The Singularity Generator has been removed from the game. A singularity can still be formed by delaminating the engine.

The [[Singularity Engine]] is the standard power source of [[PubbyStation]] and can otherwise be built with parts ordered from Cargo. It should go without saying that, since the singularity is essentially a black hole, it should stay inside of its containment field and not grow too big. Also, keep in mind that it pulses large amounts of radiation and EMPs, so always wear an engineering hardsuit or a radsuit when you're near it, and keep flashers and other sensitive electronics away from it (including cyborgs). Don't come near it in the atmospherics hardsuit, which had its radiation shielding stripped to make a place for thermal shielding.

====[[File:Tesla gen.gif]] New Tesla Energy ====
The Tesla Generator has been removed from the game. A tesla can still be formed by delaminating the engine.

Make Tesla proud and <strike>run alternating current</strike> power the station with giant balls of electricity! Lately, the [[Tesla Engine]] has been sneaking its way into more and more Nanotrasen space stations. Operating it is somewhat similar to the singularity engine, but instead of radiation, it will generate lightning bolts that must be captured with coils. Also, it won't deal any structural damage to the station if it escapes. Minus the exploding machines. And the blood and dust of former crewmembers all over the place. Keep it contained.

====[[File:Solar tracker.png]] The Forgotten Power Source ====
Whilst the supermatter outputs a metric shit-ton of power, a hardened engineer like yourself knows that it's incredibly unreliable at the best of times. This is where the [[solars]] come in. Solars output a decent amount of energy and can keep the station running at a bare minimum whilst you inevitably sort out an issue with the supermatter, but they need setting up first! Luckily this is even easier than setting up the supermatter, and you can just designate one of your minions to go out and complete the task, better yet if they volunteer. Remember though, engineering has only two hardsuits (radiation protection but no fire protection), and atmospherics only one (fire protection but no radiation protection). No yellow-suit chump's getting his hands on YOUR pristine white hardsuit (which protects against both radiation AND fire). So get the AI's attention and tell it that the man is allowed in EVA to pick up some equipment. Or just do solars yourself, you lazy fuck.

====[[File:Turbine computer.gif]] Fossil Fuel ====
Depending on the model of your space station, there might also be a [[Turbine|turbine]] <s>or [[Thermo-Electric Generator|thermo-electric generator]]</s> installed. Both of these burn through plasma to generate energy, but they work differently so make sure you refer to the right guide when setting one up.
