[FSF] Efficient Utilities

As of 1.5 this mod is discontinued, although it will likely work fine for future versions without changes. From now on I will be supporting the mod [FSF] Power Generation Multiplier. It's a very simple and highly compatible alternative.


This is a small all in one fix for the most obnoxious power drainers when it comes to colony building. Instead of building how people want they are forced to use them sparingly or exploit them in silly ways like hooking 8 beds to a single vitals monitor. The power usage has been cut to about 1/3 for all of these devices allowing you to build more of them without constructing massive power networks or using silly work arounds.

It’s very easy to modify the mod if you aren’t fond of the default numbers or want to remove one of the utilities modified. You will however have to redo your changes if the mod is updated. You can find the mod located under

Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\951619111

The file you need to edit is located under the Patches folder. Simply open the file in notepad and you’ll be able to modify it. Inside you’ll find 4 paragraphs of text, each one is for a different item. If you want to remove Vitals Monitors for example delete the entire paragraph relating to it. If you want to change the power consumption look for the utility you want and change the number inside <basePowerConsumption> to whatever number you want.
