Antimatter Power Boost [A17]

Description
All this does is increase the power output of the Ship reactor from 1 kW to 15 kW.

The Ship reactor is end-game and requires considerable research, yet it only generates 1 kW? That's not enough to power a microwave oven, let alone a starship. That's only thirteen 75-watt lamps worth of electricity... yet it runs on antimatter?!

What's more, building a Ship reactor requires a significant investment: 300 Steel, 500 Plasteel, 150 Uranium and 25 Components, for a total market value of 9025 silver. In contrast, a Geothermal generator produces 3.6 kW and requires just 400 Steel and 8 Components to build, with a market value of only 968 silver.

For the cost of a single Ship reactor, one could almost build 10 Geothermal generators for a total output of 36 kW. With those facts in mind, I think having the Ship reactor generate 15 kW is more than fair.

I have released an updated version for 1.0 here:

This uses xpath patches, so it should be compatible with all mods with no dependencies.

Will you be updating this to B18?

B18 please.
Enlonwhite Nov 22, 2017 @ 7:36pm 
since this mod makes sense and worked in a17, is there going to be a compatible version for B18?

Thankyouthankyouthankyou... loving this mod.

Thanks. I may consider to create a personalised mod combining all these excellent mod.

At least it can have a badass wall around it

Other mods which do allow building the ship reactor inside (at much less power):

@VoidVoice
The only thing this mod does is change the power output from 1 kW to 15 kW, so the rest is default.

So, it is still prohibited to build a Ship Reactor under a roof. But why should it be allowed? This thing is huge ! It's probably more than 1 story tall. Also, ship parts are all modular. You're looking at the exterior of the reactor section of a starship.

That said, I may considering increasing the hitpoints so it can take more punishment. Sometime soon I plant tol convert this mod over to the new xpath patch system. I'll revisit the idea then.

Can it be built under roof?
