Batteries: best and worst

[Effluo]

so... has anyone looked at the sats yet?

can someone post them here?

what battery holds what amount?

im sure everyone would love to have a stat page for blocks

dmg, armor, energy per - gained or lost depending on the block type lol, there are now 2 solar panels, what numbers do they pull?

[Gugnarr the Mighty Thewed]

GSO batteries are the best in terms of power per cube. and have more AP's.
HE batteries are tougher.
Venture batteries are the lightest.
GC Batteries are the largest.

Hawkeye 1 block = 1 875x2(for full battery capacity)=3750
GSO 1 block = 1 500
GeoCorp 1 block = 1 500x8(for full battery capacity)=12000
Venture 1 block = 750
Power units per block for each battery
the most space efficient is Hawkeye

So Hawkeye is most efficient for space? I'll have to be doing some redesigning then as I thought GeoCorp had the best batteries!

Also how did you get 12,000?

[Gugnarr the Mighty Thewed]

Interesting. Aslo, 8 x500 = 4000.
Not 12000.

How does the HE battery stack up to 2x GSO batteries for weight?

Edit: did a quick test. HE is slightly heavier that two GSO batts.

1 - Its 1500 not 500 (1500*8=12000­|12000/8=1500)
2 - From the wiki : The GeoCorp Battery Pack is a heavy, strong battery. It can be used to power shields and repair bubbles.

This battery has the highest capacity of all the batteries, and is also more durable. However, it is also much heavier. It holds as much energy as 8 GSO Small Battery Cells, Or roughly 12,000 Energy units.

As an active forum and discord member with access to spreadsheets with the stats of all blocks, I want to say that the information posted in this thread so far is mostly incorrect.

Quite a lot of items in the wiki are outdated and that includes the stats of the batteries.

The real stats of each battery at this moment are:

Geocorp:
Health: 1296
Weight: 24
Power storage: 14000

GSO:
Health: 250
Weight: 3
Power storage: 1500

Venture:
Health: 200
Weight: 1
Power storage: 1500

Hawkeye:
Health: 800
Weight: 8
Power storage: 3500

[Lyons]

So 4 HEs are the equivalent of 1 geocorp? That is very interesting.

[Fiona]

Hm hm, I thought Hawkeye has some armor value that reduces damage taken or something, but clearly mistaken. Venture still seem to be the viable option over the GSO variant, keeping the weight down. 50hp loss isn't that big of a deal.

[Gugnarr the Mighty Thewed]

Nah. Just more hitpoints.

Do venture and gso rly have the same amount of storage? I thought that venture was less. That makes venture an amazing option for fast vehicles thank you.

Anyone know the capacity of the Better Future battery?

[Effluo]

better future has a solar panel and a shield at the moment... unless they added one in the last few days....

Edit: LOOK! new batteries! lol

and they did something with the other batteries... 2 of my techs have no batteries at all in them now... a strange thing as i now have to rebuild the whole ships now lol - i build tech with the batteries and fuel in the core and build around them

thas exactly why i take snapshots of my fav techs after finishing a play session. it can save stuff like the ships ya mentioned. maybe you could just send all blocks to inventory and the snapshot would put the batteries back in when deployed? idk, tho it might work.

[Effluo]

nah, i posted it a week ago, and other ppl have had the same issue with my tech. its ok. the new batteries make me want to replace a bit anyway.

i am trying to get the ship to be as light weight as it can be, while still having enough battery to get through a day/night cycle with the anti grav on or get through the whole gauntlet in the r&d without needing to recharge

its just annoying that the core had to be rebuilt after the patch. makes me wonder what was done to the other batteries lol

[Logical Insanity]

so venture has the best power to weight ratio and hawkeye seems to have the best power to size ratio? that is good to know when building a large vehicle for harvesting resources and such
