The Generator is an event arc describing events around the Generator. Most events trigger independently from each other.
Dangerous stress level[ | ]
This event will trigger when you have activated Overdrive and the Generator's stress levels are rising.
| “ | The Generator stress has reached a dangerous level. Be careful - when the stress reaches 100%, the Generator will explode.
The stress increases when the overdrive is on and when the Generator is heating up. |

It's going to blow![ | ]
This event triggers when the Generator's stress levels have reached 100% for the first time.
| “ | The Generator has been damaged and is going to blow. We can fix it, but only a child is small enough to fit into its mechanisms.
Alternatively, a Steam Core could be used to shunt some pressure from the damaged assembly. |

You have the following options:
- We can't do it!: The Generator will blow up. Our city will die.
- Send a child to fix it: This child will probably die. Discontent will rise greatly. Hope will fall greatly. This is only available when there are children in your city.
- Use a steam core to fix it: We will use 1 Steam Core. Discontent will rise. This is only available when you have steam cores.
People froze to death[ | ]
This event triggers after you have had deaths due to the Generator being turned off at night while having homeless people.
| “ | Some of our people didn't wake up today. They simply froze to death while sleeping outside in the bitter cold with the Generator turned off. | „ |

- We mustn't let this happen again: Hope will fall.
The heating is off[ | ]
This event triggers when the Generator is off at night.
| “ | The Generator's off! People are afraid they'll freeze to death in their sleep if you don't at least turn it on for the night. | „ |
You have the following options:
- We must gather some coal first: Consider signing the Emergency Shift law.

Using the overdrive[ | ]
This event triggers when you don't have enough heat inside your heat zones to keep people warm.
| “ | Since the temperature drop, it's too cold even inside the heat zone. We can put the Generator into overdrive, but with an eye on its stress gauge to keep it from exploding. | „ |
