Crank Generator
The Crank Generator is the first generator that is acquired through the story. The Crank Generator converts kinetic energy into electricity through hand crank or connected external sources of energy, according to its description. The Crank Generator can be paired with a Water Wheel to automatically crank the generator instead of having to crank it manually. When cranked, it will produce 150 kW of power. When hand-cranked, it will last for up to five minutes, unless attached to a Water-Wheel, which will then crank it indefinitely. In the latest update, the runtime of the crank generator can be increased to 30 minutes. This update can be found in Energy (CrankSpan / 25 PurpleCore). The Crank Generator can be upgraded to work in parallel with other crank generators, with this you can wined it up with one interaction.
