2. You can place them anywhere
3. They don't discharge while in item mode
4. They use far less resource than vanilla generators
5. They do produce the heat, but they don't make too much heat, just like campfire. so, you can use them as heater alternative.
6. Although it produces less power than normal generators, but it still strong enough to power two mini turrets or one large turret.

@katanainfinate00 It works exact same as regular charger. Only difference is large charger can only hold 5 waste packs(original ver. can hold 15)

Thank you for the fix! I will test it as soon as possible.
Bon_Sombrero  [author] Apr 10, 2024 @ 2:34pm 
Alright now fixed!

@Menos Oh i found the source of the trouble. It wasn't outdated API(that error shows up regardless of portable generator mod is exist or not.), I made mod used both 1.5 and 1.4 same xml, and it caused portable cooking table unusable(portable generators were working fine.) on V1.4 rimworld. I fixed the mod but applying it will take few more hours from now since I was middle of adding more contents for portable generators. Please allow me some time for fix it!

Using Rimworld 1.4 with Vanilla Expanded mods and Multiplayer mod. If your mod is in the list we get an error during start saying that an incompatible Multiplayer API is used (1.3 instead of 1.5). As soon as your mod is removed everything works fine.

@Menos VE? you mean Vanilla Expanded frameworks? I don't see any errors with VE...? Mind if I ask you which version of Rimworld you are using right now? 1.4? 1.5? little bit more detailed information may helpful for me to pin point what causing it.
Menos Apr 3, 2024 @ 6:13am 
Causes an issue if used in multiplayer as an outdated API is used.
The API was recently changed, so maybe just recompiling the mod with updated VE-framework might solve it.

Thanks! Now I get it, great food for thought. I'll consider about it while testing. Thanks for the feedback. :winter2019happyyul:

My apologies, it does appear that they are already fuel inefficient then. My other thought would be that they are designed to work in a pinch. They aren't supposed to be a long term objective; that goal is left for the normal generator (in other words, I don't think people would use multiple instead of the normal). I think that they are meant to be built and used on the move, since they are not needed while at base. Whatever you decide though, I don't think that they are crazy unbalanced in either regard, and I think that this mod is cool anyway. Good work!
