I can't find this, is there fuel for combustion engines with settlements?

[LordTonyZ]

Is it me or what? I swear they were going to add fuel counters for combustion engines in this game for settlements.

 

For example water purifiers and turrets need electricity which you can make with a combustion generator or a windmill.

 

The windmill provides less power but obviously would be free energy.

 

The generator has more power, needs less supplies and also provides free energy.

 

 

Is there a mod that balances this out or what?

I'm thinking about such a mod but it is more in a draft state right now. I'd need help to make it all work.
