Been battling with the orbital transfer math (with the math not mathing) all day, so I made the generator building for fun :P It's meant as a backup power source for Earth—when in the future the power grid might not be as reliable as it is now, for reasons(?!).
You could use it on Mars as well, but you'll have to supply both Fuel AND Oxygen there... nasty surprise if it ends up eating through the whole supply. I might make it viable as a backup in a pinch there as well because it doesn't break physics and could be a fun mechanic.
Fun facts: the Mars atmosphere only contains 0.13% oxygen and it's like 1% of the density of the atmosphere here on Earth. This is why propulsive landing is used there; if you try to glide through the atmosphere, you'll fall like a rock. It's kinda cool that NASA was able to get a helicopter drone (Ingenuity) working despite this; they used super high RPM. Anyways :)
