Early Game Growth Vat

Description
This mod allows the growth vat to be built early (smithing research). The Growth vat research now halves power consumption.
Suspend your younglings in a sarcophagus filled with ambrosia jam and insect jelly.

Also adds a basic generator, the concept of which is fermenting ambrosia in a salvaged wheel, somehow making power.

Made for those colonies where growth vats are thematic, but high tech may not suit.

Growth vat new cost:
Gold - 10
Ambrosia - 20
Insect Jelly - 10
Stuff (metal, wood, stone) - 30
Uses 400 power, 200 with growth vat research

Generator cost:
Steel - 100
Component - 2
Makes 800 power
Uses ambrosia for fuel

[Uses patch operations to modify the base growth vat, could not get a new vat to function as intended]

Kinda hope you can do a simmilar mod but for biotech genetic too

@Vardath This mod is simply a patch that modifies the existing behaviour of the vanilla growth vat, including replacing the png file. I don't see how that would effect FPS as it is a fairly simple mod but I will do some experimenting to check and possibly alter the mod if it is an issue.

Hi, there is an intense fps drop when my growth room is visible on screen, not sure if it's this mod or the other 2 growth vat mods I'm using so I'll share this with each.

@Emperor Lowa, I looked into that, originally I planned to replace the recipe with the old one when the tech is researched, but it may not be possible, might look into it again.

Hey do you know if its possible to change the vat's construction materials with more advanced technology? not saying you should do that, just a thought I had. At least until tynan releases his autocratic control over growth vats. because I love the idea of an early vat, but it could feel awkward for that same tribe to continue building vats that way as they mass-produce even advanced components.

I dunno, maybe its a religious thing by then?

Ah, you too make insect people live in houses made entirely of insect jelly. I see you are a man of taste.

I would LOVE this as an add-on instead of replacer. Tribal growth vats sound awesome.

Aww man, keep making those crazy tribal/scav makeshift buildings, it's hella crazy pairing it with something like Tribal Genetics, I love it!
