Powercell charger concern...... Devs please read.
While I am stoked to see battery and Power cell charging now in the final stages (I have not yet played with them) I am a little concerned with what i have seen in a youtube video showing that you can recharge a powercell for less then the amount of power said cell contains.

Basically from what the video shows you can outfit your cyplops with 3 P.cell chargers and fully recharge them with only a little drain to the subs power. This in effect gives you a way to get unlimited run time/power.

Now I want this to be useful but charging a powercell should at least take the same amount of energy as it holds if not around 10-20% more to allow for the charger, drain ect. I see the powercell charger as a base comfort that drawers off its larger power reserves to let you be mobile.

Sure the battery charger (normal tools seaglide ect) I can see the cyplops being able to run this and it makes sence but for balance only at a rate of say 10 battery charges per powercell capicity.

This is just my 2c worth I am sure many will have diffrent opionions.

Really? Well im not going to charge powercells on the cyclops anyways. Currently playing experimental and has only found battery chargers for now. But this doesn't sound good.

Lol, what a predictable bug, do they even test a bit the thing they are coding?

Sorry forgot the link to the video in question (some minor bad language is included)

but here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LLtTXzWE30&t=923s

As you watch you can see the little power drained and how much the first P.Cell he charges goes up.

That is why they are only in experimental dude

The idea would be to have the charging stations inside a base run on nuclear power, Charging spare cells/batteries while your out exploring
I really want these

I can see it now.. endless fields of solar panels to recharge P.cells!

They aren't even finished yet. Wonder why you don't find fragments for them? Wonder why you can only build them in experimental?
Cause they are not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ finished.

you can find the fragments in experimental. Both chargers has there own fragments scattered on map now. Currently playing survival in experimental because of this :)
