PreMeltdown. Azic's Shipyard Core

Due to a large number of people who will be staying on 0.29.0 due to legacy mods no longer getting updates, I will be creating a separate version of the shipyard properly updated for Meltdown. This will be rolled into the Meltdown Edition of the Shipyard. For clarity, the Meltdown Edition of the Shipyard will have:
Sundiving Equipment
Field Drives
Shipyard Core, which was formerly known as crewed power.

That said, thank you all for the support and journey to this point. Once the Meltdown version of the Shipyard is ready, please uncheck the two above as well as this one before you enable the Meltdown Edition of the Shipyard. I'll post a link here once its ready! Until then, this works mostly fine with Meltdown!

Everything will keep the same IDs, but some changes will happen to even unlocking conditions of a few items, so game breaking might happen if you don't have all of the current blueprints unlocked. But ship breaking shouldn't happen.


The problem with starships is power. While batteries solves an issue of not overloading cables and causing burning rooms, the alternative is to use crewed rooms to manage the distribution to prevent overloading.

Crewed power distribution comes in small range requiring less crew, or whole ship requiring more crew per reactor.

Each Reactor size comes in two variants: radius and whole ship power.

Small Crewed Reactors are 2x5 and hold 56 power. The area ones provide power in a 10m radius.
Medium Crewed Reactors are 3x6 and hold 152 power. The area ones provide power in a 20m radius.
Large Crewed Reactors are 8x8 and hold 324 power. The area ones provide power in a 30m radius.

Equivalent single vanilla reactor with capacitors to the same floor space (including half values for fairness) for power storage are:
Small +1.5 capacitors = 35
Medium + 2.5 capacitors = 61
Large + 12 capacitors = 240

This mod should in theory work even with future updates like nebulas.

Sprites used for power levels of the substations were created by JadeOfMar,

Please note the animated gif in the mod images that shows how to have the reactor extensions work. The storage ones will not allow retreival of goods unless they are inline with a reactor like the example image and example gif
