StK Overclocked Rechargers

Allows mech rechargers to be overclocked for faster charging. Rechargers also stop consuming power when not actively charging.

Changes:

• Every recharger (including modded ones) will stop consuming power during downtime.
• If you have any universal light/heavy rechargers from mods, they will consume different amounts of power depending on the mech class.
• You can overclock any recharger (configurable via XML) for a much faster charging process. By default, I set the value to x5, meaning mechs will charge 5 times faster. Energy consumption will also drastically increase. Mechanoids will still produce the same amount of waste per full recharge.
• By researching more advanced mech technologies, it will be possible to overclock your rechargers even further, but at a cost. If enabled, you can charge your mechs up to a whopping 20 times faster, but with a risk of short-circuit explosions.

There are a few ways you can protect yourself against explosions.

• You can simply stay at safe overclock levels. By default, charging up to 5 times faster has no negative effects.
• Recharger explosions use the vanilla "Zzztt.." event, so if your scenario has it disabled, you can safely use any level of overclocking.
• A recharger can only explode while a mech is actively charging on it. With faster charging speeds, the risk window is fairly small.
• And in the end, you can always place a firefoam popper nearby. Mechs are immune to fire and, in the worst-case scenario, can be easily resurrected.
