'''Type''': [[Types/EnergySource]]
 
Must be an electric energy source.
 
=== horizontal_animation ===
'''Type''': [[Types/Animation]]
 
=== vertical_animation ===
'''Type''': [[Types/Animation]]
 
=== effectivity ===
'''Type''': [[Types/double]]
 
The effectivity of the generator with 0.5 being half as effective as a regular steam-engine generator.
 
== Optional properties ==
 
=== smoke ===
'''Type''': [[Types/table]] of [[Types/SmokeSource]]
 
Array of 1 or more smoke sources.
