Whilst the singularity 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 bare minimum whilst you inevitably sort out an issue with the singularity, but they need setting up first! Luckily this is even easier than setting up the singulo and you can just designate one of your minions to go out and complete the task, better yet if they volunteer. Remember though, engineering only has two hardsuits. No yellowsuit chump's getting his hands on YOUR pristine white hardsuit. 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. | Whilst the singularity outputs a metric shit-ton of power, a hardened engineer like yourself knows that it's incredibly unreliable at the best of times.

=== Fossil Fuel === | |||
Depending on the model of your space station, there might also be a [[Combustion Engine|combustion engine]] installed. This is probably the easiest way to generate power with plasma, but you're going to burn through the contents of canisters quite rapidly so if you want to power the station this way it might be a good idea to connect the combustion engine directly to Atmospherics. | |||
=== Matters Of Super Matter === | |||
You can order a [[Super Matter|super matter shard]] through [[Cargo|cargo]] and use it to pulse radiation to radiation collectors instead of a singularity. Super matter is extremely dangerous and you'll have to build an engine that's even more complicated than the Singularity Engine (most likely from scratch), but that's no reason not to try it, right? | |||
