Smaller Tier 3 Generator

Since lights start at Tier 3, it be nice to be able to build a smaller Biofuel Generator that's only strong enough to power a couple lights.

Yeah, problem with that is electricity tool in buried in T4 anyway... now if they moved that to T3 also, then it would work. Make it a 1000 watt so it won't power a exotics drill, but let it be small enough to take up a quarter of a 1x1 floor square.

The generator should only be a tier 3 item. Look at the technology required to make it. It should be craftable on a machining bench, and not require a fabricator. Generators were available almost as soon as they invented the internal combustion engine. It should be available at the same tier as the Bio-fuel deep mining drill. I think that a smaller one (1m square) should be available at the same time, but take less materials. Both should be available with the same technology blueprint.
