I just started building extractors (which I found were really hard to find good locations for), and went to manage them. I deposited money, and tried to turn one on and nothing happened. I saw a tab that said "Deposit Power" (of which the instructions don't tell you about), so I did. Turns out I had some radioactives that could get it going for a while. But they're starting to run out of juice, and ever since they shifted the resources, there are no radioactives where I'm at anymore.

Then I saw something on a thread that mentioned using wind power generators. Is this true? If so, do you have to place them right next to it, or somewhere near it, or what? Please let me know, because the help guides given to us never mentioned anything about needing power, nor how to supply them with power.

Also, for those extractors that I don't have enough buildings to throw another generator onto, what other materials can you use to power extractors? The only one I've found so far is radioactive ore.

ack, the forum keeps eating my posts....

anyhow, you need to survey and find the spot with the most wind for your generator...it's a bonus if it's near your harvester
