@Skyler Redbird Do you happen to have any game log(s) of the crash (a player.log file, and/or output from the message log console)? Without them, I can't really determine how or why the game crashed for you (especially since like I mentioned before, I cannot seem to trigger the same crash by following the steps outlined in your first comment).

one mod per run.

@Skyler Redbird okay, just to clarify, do you mean that you were adding mods one at a time during the course of your save? or specifically when testing whether More Batteries is causing a crash for you? Have you tried to re-trigger the crash after it happened once to make sure it wasn't a regular game crash?

If possible, sharing the log(s) of the crash would be very helpful to determine what exactly could've have caused the crash.
Skyler Redbird Apr 28 @ 10:10am 
i only add one mod at a time to make sure its not caused by anything else. just finsihed playing a 10 years something colony without any issues.

@Sklyer Redbird I'm sorry to hear that, however, this mod does not introduce any code or DLLs at all, which essentially means that it can't really (directly) cause a crash like the one you're describing (errors in mods like this one generally only cause the dreaded debug log menu to pop up). I also can't seem to reproduce the problem you're describing by building the glitterworld battery in a new file after unlocking the relevant technologies using debug actions.

Are you sure this crash isn't caused by some other mod you're using?

this makes my game crash half way through after researching all battery items and before building anything more than one glitterworld battery. just fyi. im gonna try and find a different battery mod

@MasonNasty That does sound like a good addition to the description, especially since I did already include the alternative costs in the cost reduction patch. Thanks for the suggestion :)
MasonNasty Feb 20 @ 12:38pm 
You should include the resource cost of each battery in the description or photos. Especially after you specifically reference a balance patch which reduces these unknown costs.
Stolij  [author] Aug 21, 2024 @ 2:09pm 
@pit-s The price for the Archotech battery is mostly based around a very resource extraction heavy playstyle (with mods that allow for extracting lots of resources relatively easily in mid/late game), which is why I separated the cheaper Archotech Battery version into a new patch mod for those who don't enjoy/want that playstyle.

The 5w discharge per day is a hardcoded value/mechanic that is applied by Rimworld to all batteries that have any charge at all, and is something that I unfortunately cannot change currently.

Based on the context you provided, I agree that it would be better to make the patch mod only require a single power cell to construct instead of massively changing the crafting recipe (for players who add the balance patch mid-game, and who may already have a few of battery cells laying around like in your case). If you're still interested, I've updated the balance mod to reflect this change.
