Advanced Power Plus

Description
An advanced power for your colonies!

This mod is a merged update of [sd] advanced powergeneration and Fueled Nuclear Power Generators.

It adds new power generation buildings with technologies to research them:

- Advanced wind turbine (Spacer tech, 6000 Wd output at max);
- Advanced solar generator (Spacer tech, 3400 Wd output at max);
- Advanced watermill generator (Spacer tech, 2300 Wd output);
- Advanced geothermal generator (Spacer tech, 7500 Wd output);

- Advanced stirling radioisotope generator (Industrial tech, 2500 Wd output for 0.125 Uranium per day);
- Large advanced stirling radioisotope generator (Industrial tech, 9000 Wd output for 0.40 Uranium per day);
- Advanced nuclear generator (Spacer tech, 26000 Wd output for 1.0 Uranium per day).

Radioisotope and nuclear generators are compeletely safe, however they all require advanced components to be constructed.

Original authors: sulusdacor, james76543.
Special thanks to Yamabuki for providing recompiled assemblies for 1.1.
______________________________________________________
The code for buildings has been seriously reworked so there are numerous changes and balance tweaks for both mods to be closer to Vanilla. The most notable changes are:
  • all buildings are breakdownable (require repair/maintenance);
  • all buildings have their miniaturisation mechanics removed;
  • the cost and hit point of all buildings are rebalanced;
  • fuel requirements for radioisotope and nuclear generators are smoothed (low tier consumes less, high tier consumes more). The goal is for them to have an edge against other energy resources in all tech eras but not be a universal "go-to" end-game option;
  • research projects are rebalanced with low tier cost decrased (wind turbine, solar generator) and significant cost increase for high tier;
  • added a patch for descriptions of all vanilla generators to have a line with how much energy they produce.

Thank you very much

Preliminary update for Rimworld 1.5 is out!

Everything should work BUT there is no proper interference between advanced watermill generators (when their water-flow zones overlap either with each other or with vanilla watermill generators). Gonna wait for updated assemblies to fix that :LIS_poker_face:

Yeah, I am poking my coauthor about assemblies. Gonna take another week or two. But the update is the works!

Thanks for thinking about updating it, I really like your mods making power management easier

@Six
May take some time. I suspect that assemblies will need to be recompiled :LIS_poker_face:

Very much looking forward to 1.5 update! Thank you for your effort, your mod is appreciated!

Yeah this mod is also a favorite of mine as well. The advance geothermal is showing up as a question mark for me. Still going to use it. Thanks to the mod authors.

Awesome! I'm just going down the list of all my mods and finding out if the ones that haven't been updated for months are still active. :ojigi:
