Description

Adds batteries made of different metals with different stats

Seven batteries are added, each requiring different materials and providing different benefits. Some of them are locked behind additional research. The uranium battery even comes with special mechanics, watch out!

Steel battery
The vanilla battery, costs more steel but also has higher capacity.

Silver battery
Improved in all areas, costs silver in addition to base materials. Very cost-efficient.

Golden battery
High efficiency, normal capacity. Allows you to have less energy production overall due to high efficiency.

Plasteel battery
Normal efficiency, high capacity. Very light, does not short-circuit in rain and can not break down. Perfect to power deep drills or to have energy on caravan expeditions.

Uranium battery
High efficiency, very high capacity. Unlike the previous ones this one has incredibly high stats for it's cost. It can however short-circuit in rain, explodes violently when damaged and generates a lot of heat. Temperatures above 20°C (68°F) will cause the efficiency to drop.

Advanced battery
High efficiency, high capacity. Ultimate constructable battery, does not short-circuit in rain and does never break down.

Vanometric battery
Like the vanometric power cell, this one can only be found, not constructed. It has supreme stats, but also high market value, making it expensive to buy and attractive to raiders.
Capacity: 2500
Efficiency: 100%

@Balthazad
Turns out Silver IS the most conductive, both Electrically and Thermally.

"Silver's electrical conductivity is so high that it is used as the standard against which other metals are compared. This standard is known as the International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS), where copper is given a value of 100%. Silver, by this measure, has a conductivity of over 100% IACS, typically around 106% for fine silver. Copper is the next best at 97%, followed by gold at 76%. Due to its excellent conductivity, silver is used in various electronics, including electrical contacts, switches, and circuit boards."

@valveworshipper because silver isn't the best conductive metal

silver is the most conductive metal why isn't it the best for batteries?

Hope it helps anyone!

One of my favorite mods, hope we get an update. I'm using this mod on a RimWorld Together, Dedicated 24/7, Multiplayer Public Server I host. Working as intended, as stated, color coordinated power bar is always default yellow but still goes up and down. Server info. if interested: https://discord.gg/F99QkYhxFK
