There will be no 1.6 update before the official release. Like always, "1.6 when" comments will be deleted and blocked.

Thanks for this mod, it's one of my favorites

Any chance we could get a patch that would allow us to the the mechanoid power cells from your mod with the craftable spartan armory mod? I was wondering since this is kind of a successor mod to the old mechanoid power mod and that mod was needed for the armor mod.

Quick response, thanks.

@StockSounds: It does do the same thing, but it has more settings in the mod options. Thats it.

I have two questions.
- What does this do that Reinforced Mechanoids doesn't? (Besides yellow)
- Does it add a new obtainment method?

UNLIMITED PAUWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Psyckosama: No clue then, something must be broken on your end. I tried it and it works instantly. Given how many mods you use I am not surprised something breaks tho.

several times.

@Psyckosama: Have you restarted the game after you made changes?

Yeah, no matter what I tweak or try and change, I still get 5000w output. I even changed the defaults. Still get 5000w output.

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/01d725519d864b3a8c25f44165031143

two things. One, I can't change the power output in the mod settings. I mean, I can, but the generator is still producing 5000w. Second, a more precision way to change the power output would be appreciated. Tight now the closest I can get to 10000w is 10007. May I suggest putting it in the form of a multiplayer instead?

No, it means it produces 5000Wh.

What I am getting at is it makes "-"5000Wh meaning it takes 5000 Wh just to have this building build?

That’s how power works in rimworld.

Its a generator but it produces -5000w?

oh that's a RJW dong in the fridge

I love that dog image at the bottom xD Thanks for a morning chuckle!

@Sentence: Death: Tested it, works fine. Seeing how you didn't bother with even a basic log and decided to go with a passive aggressive comment instead, I can not help you. If you are referring to the mod options saying -5000, that is how Rimworld works. Any building producing power has a negative power consumption value.

Mine is doing the -5000 issue as well. Lame.

@Chris_ Try turning on dev mode and checking the log. Would wager it's unlikely this mod alone is the problem. Might also want to try disabling other mods to see if there's some mod interaction causing it.

This mod causes extreme lag for me, i don't know why. As soon as i place the generator down it starts lagging, going from 2700 tps to 300

I'm playing on Ice Sheet mountain tile, deep in the mountain. I cranked up the heat value for the generator, but it barely makes a dent, raising temp from -80 celsius to -70 in it's room (9x9). Is this supposed to be the case? I figured that I would actually have to still cool down the thing going by the description, but it doesn't seem to generate much heat. Is this intended? It's not a big deal, mind you, I was just surprised. I thought that it might cook the mountain. I played too much oxygen not included I guess and was worried about temperature :D

For anyone frustrated over not being able to fine tune the power output value with the slider in the mod options:

Open mod folder: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\3041187151\1.5\Patches

Open Slider-Patches.xml file with wordpad, or some other program.

You need to change the <defaultValue> in ===Power Output === section from -5000 to whatever you want to

After that, when you enter the game and hit reset button in mod option, it will set the power output to that value.

I assume there are other ways of doing that, but that's what i managed to figure out and it worked for me...

you got some genitals in your fridge buddy

1.5 will come, all in good time!

@raz334: They are balanced fine, but of course depending on the DLCs you own they might be rarer. Given they are basically free energy I consider that to be good. As for the second point, they are balanced for the vanilla game, you compare them to another mod. So that is invalid. Also you can tweak their output in their mod settings.

-Vanometric Mechanoid Cells too rare, even with traders who charge the price of half your base for one....

- Power output isn't worth it, if you have other mods that allow the creation of regular vanometrics, and slap on the generator upgrades to those you can create one 3x more powerful than this mod's max settings (25k) within a slightly larger space (70k+). The regular vanometrics are significantly easier to make as well.

+Great Idea though, it gave me the idea to try combining the upgrades with the vanometrics,
-Sadly they don't work with your Generator :(.

Hey are you planning on updating to 1.5?

@Blackthorn A geo gen is 3600W and an adv. is 5200W

5k is only a smidge more than a geo gen, and less than an adv geo gen. or is it more?

I just started using this mod, but it is awesome. Thank you for your time and hard work to bring us free content. I left a thumbs up and gave an award, I figured that is the least I could do considering I cannot afford to donate. Cheers mate.
@S3RG1E SH\/3TS The term; 'jury-rigged' is an old sailing term and in common parlance it means to have a temporary improvised or makeshift rigging. It is pronounced (at least where I am); "jerry-rigged", but 'jury-rigged' is the correct spelling. The more you know, have a good day.

generates heat? a downside? *starts new colony in the arctic* perfect :D

jury-rigged?

@dedog0445 Im scared to ask what the body parts are......... Thats not what I think it is right?

i come looking for new mods to break the game with, i leave searching for the construction worker cat image he has in his bug reporting section.

Damn another mod author taken by the labs....

guys look at the items in the freezer in the first image... he has the mod... the forbidden one...

I am also having the same issue as Farron. After editing the mod settings to set to -25000, the actual in-game value hasn't changed even after a restart and unsubbing/resubbing and after starting a new game.

However I'm running the game heavily modded and haven't tested it without other mods. So I'll have to do some playing around with that some time in the future. Just thought I'd call out that he isn't the only person with this problem.

@Schniedel69
@Helixien
Yeah, I'll just build more in my very space-restricted spaceship/base :/

If I could, I would lol

Yeah, built more. The cells arent exactly rare.

just build more then

Can you increase the max amount of power you can give the vanometric generators? It's a bit of a strange question, I know but 25k per generator is honestly not enough to power even a quarter of my base

@Helixien: Yes. VES Framework was installed before installing this mod.

out of curiosity, (I checked the changelogs, and can't see what it is), what is the main difference between this and the one from RM2?

@Helixien sorry extremely late reply, but yeah I was loading it after RM2

I'm getting a few red entries on startup, refering to this mod (Duplicate XML node ...).
Is this something that can be sorted out or safe to ignore?

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/9515c2aa1c5d6db6aaedf66e41330f74

@Mododel: Do you have the VES Framework installed?

After the last update: 1.1-sheev-rev2.
In the game settings, disappeared "Vanometric Generator" settings tab.
I had to uninstall and then install mod again, it helped to get the settings tab back.
If after each update will have to do this, it is very inconvenient.

+ and - buttons would also help like +1 and +10 as trying to set it to 7500 atm is a nightmare
