@DasBaconfist
Thanks for the reply.

I uploaded my mod, U1 Battery Recycle Updated , to the workshop.

@UlraOne
Go for it.

I have updated this mod to be compatible with version 1.189 of the game. DasBaconfist, do you have any objection to me uploading the new mod to the workshop? I will credit you, of course.

Oh, that's actually pretty clever. I always considered that (like in IRL non-rechargeable batteries) the power cells were assembled in a state in which they could generate power (as batteries do) straight off the bat. Never considered that aspect. Thanks for the explanation.

i'll try to explain: In vanilla you have 30% startup energy and you will get metascrap when grinding the battery down.
Here you will still have the initial charge, but you will get powercellscrap instead of metal scrap. To dissemble this scrap and make powercells out of it again your assembler will need a certain ammount of energy which means you won't get the 30% charge for free instead your assembler will consume it. (i know. the assembler is not using the axact ammout of energy for tihs but i think it's ok)

hope i could help u with this.

What does "no cheaty energy" mean? Is there something I'm not getting? I'd normally assume you were talking about the 30% starting energy, but you clearly say that that is still there, so...?

i think they will add more scrappy things like the metal-scrap to put in refineries.

figured you did something like that, I was mainly saying that something like this should be suggested to Keen

I set construction to 8 (2x PowerCell time) so it takes 24 Minutes to "transform" PowerCell-Scrap to PowerCell. I think this is ok with the power needed.

wow..., just by reading the description, this needs to be a suggestion or something, maybe it requires the same energy (accounting for all power efficiency upgrades) to produce the charged cell.

Beware the Icons.... The PowerCell-Scrap disguises itself as PowerCell... check it twice before going to your building place.

Omg... thank you dude! :D
