potatoe power

[jzero]

so basically, you know how when you were younger you made that potatoe battery and were all like "Woah!! that's amazing!!!!!1!"

Well, my suggestion is that we have the option of turning a couple thousand potatoes into a power source. Possibly an insanely late game option of powering yourself, geothermal power combined with some advanced potatoe power to make enough power to continue endlessly growing more potatoes to continue power production and so on. Maybe the potatoes of the future give more power than the ones we have now?

Ah well, just a thought

You'll get more juice out of a vodka powered generator.

(Though the colonists may swipe the vodka when you're not looking and PARTY!!!)

[mumblemumble]

Neat idea, but probably not a very applicable one for large scale power.

Batteries were made way back out of fruit juices and such, But not on the industrial level that rimworld needs.

Not to mention the food needs to be grown, picked, and hauled first, so its productivity would be marginal at best.

[hoho]

Might be useful as a temporary power source for some low-powered light. A handful of potatoes should be enough to keep a bulb on for a while.

Alternatively ferment them and run your colony on blackjack and hookers ethanol-powered engines vodka.

[Listen1]

Normally you would say that a cassino, hookers, alcohol and abuse of violence would not work in a game.

In rimworld, that's what we call a mod. "More visitors interaction".

And once they get the jackpot you can just mur... arrest them.
