I guess no update is coming?
How will I do my matrix playthrough now

didnt work froze the game

update ! please

pls update

This is literally the plot of the matrix

Updaaaaaate

Update this for 1.0, please!

feel like this should have a mood debuff or at least batteries expire after being used

Well since this is never gonna be updated I guess I'll unsuscribe from it and just hope it doesn't mess up my main save.

Sorry to be a bother, but is this going to be updated at all? 1.0 came out, and I really wanted to test this thing out.

+1 for an update, this is such a fun mod.

must have PLZ update

Update to 19 please :)

"Yuri is Master!"

Nice deep scenario

Is there anyway we (or someone) could get a copy of the source so we can update this?

This will go well with my all-droid game.

Not connected to power. No matter what I do.

my first few worked fine. now any additional batteries i make say they are not connected to power.

@Massive Damage The title does say living battery (ALPHA18) not Beta18 that may be why peoples say things. Either that or error from author in title.

Can you add ones that work like CryptoCaskets and have bones deteriorate over time?

can you make another mod just like this but instead pf producing power it would help speed up research.the way it would work is you link this to a research bench and once a person is inside it you would gain like a plus 10 on research speed. lets say you conect a few of them together you create a hive mind or matrix that could research extremly fast. lets say you connected 20 of them together you could then link them to a big screen t.v and increase the joy of all those that use the t.v for joy by like 1000%.

@tobe can you answer some of the concerns in the comments? People say it isn't working, others say it is dead, etc

A computer that raises there mood while inside would be interesting. hehe Though the computer would take power to run!!!! what a waiste just throw them in there while there unconcious! No one else need know there is a person inside!

Dead how?

this mod is fucking dead, whata shame

Eat the red pill!

what is this the matrix

No I think my prisoners would willinging go in to a generator, the alternative is much worse.

My friend pointed out your name is inaccurate since these generate power, rather than store power ;p

how the batterys work?

Idea... Add a super computer craftable which simulates life for people when they're in the battery, perhaps as a way to get prisoners to go in willingly. Do they want to be prisoners living in a shit hole or be a rich man in our matrix?

whenever i build a new battery pod the battery pod wont connect to the grid. it just repeats that the power usage and output is zero even though it has an occupant inside and is connected to the main grid

I just like the idea to create some living thing than translate food/ or any resource into energy.
The idea could be extended into a complex mod, offcourse depends if you want make efficient or some short of evil lab complex than capture / create living things for the sake of energy generation or any other amusing idea.

@Trugo that just an "balance" idea, but obviously could be optional maybe the author is just making it for sake of amusing fun thing and not something to make it balanced/complicated.

It's not a huge deal, but colonists avoid putting prisoners into this like the plague. I have to forbid the entrances to any other cryptosleep pod before they place them in the batteries.

What does it mean when it says not connected to power? The battery has a person inside and its next to the other batteries but it says not connected to power

@Etherdreamer A Food hopper is a good idea, and how about a trait that people get when they exit it (that is if they get to exit) saying "I was used as a battery..." etc (but with more detail like "I had food force fed to me..." "I couldn't breathe") But the idea of them dieing out is kinda boring if you have a thing were you punishing colonists by converting them for a battery for a day for eating the last lavish meal or something.

Abusing people as a power source, this is SICKENING!


Love it!

great mod

Matrix?

Imo the life force should end in some point, so the body will turn into a dry carcass.
Suggestion:
Add a switcheable energy generation till the body energy runs out.
Example
Low: Last a year
Medium: last 182 days
High: Last 91 days
When the time ends, the skeleton will not generate any energy anymore.
Unless you want turn into more like Matrix, you could add a food hopper to feed them and it will last till it die of old age?

@basileousmaximos
I think you can go to the mod files and change to generate what you like
<li Class="LivingBattery.CompProperties_LivingBatteryBuilding">
<powerOutput>300</powerOutput>

(\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\1162766114\Defs\ThingDefs_Buildings)

300 wats is nothing for sacrificing an able body.

Lol that mod is crazy ^^

So are the pawns destroyed when they are in the battery like dead? Or are just in there in pain and can be brought out?

finally a use for those useless colonists. I like it

@macdagi 오잉 애들 때려서 눕힌다음 클릭해봤음??

게이야.. a17에선 잘썼는데, a18에서 죄수들 못집어넣는다.. 아군 림들만 스스로 걸어들어가게 할수있네
