Vanometric Improvement Technology

Vanometric Improvement Technology mod preview for RimWorld

Increase the power output of vanometric power cells with two new technologies.

Increase the power output of vanometric power cells with two new technologies.

Features


This mod seeks to make vanometric power cells more valuable to a player after other advanced power options are available by adding two technologies that improve their power output. Since the vanometric power cells are still incredibly rare, you will still need other power sources unless you find 2+ cells.

Technologies Added:


  • Vano-Adapters (Spacer)
    - Requires Advanced Fabrication to research.
    - 4000 research point technology
    - Increases power output to 2,500W.
  • Vano-Connectors (Ultra)
    - Requires Vanometric Adapters
    - 6000 research point technology
    - Increases power output to 5,000W.


Compatibilies


  • Royalty
    - Technologies will require techprints to research if Royalty is present.
    - Unstable Power Cells power output increases to 800, 1,200W respectively.
  • VFE Power
    - Large Vanometric Power Cell output increases to 6,000W and 12,000W.
    - Small Vanometric Power Cell output increases to 1,125W and 2,250W.
  • Archonexus Buildings Provide Power
    - Archonexus Core output increases to 15000W and 30000W. Wow.
    - Grand Archotech Structure output increases to 11250W and 22500W.
    - Major Archotech Structure output increases to 10000W and 20000W.
    - Archotech Tower output increases to 8750W and 17500W


This should be compatible with almost everything since it just patches the power factors into the existing defs rather than replacing anything. Since it uses multiplying factors, using it with anything that modifies the base power output(1000W) of the vanometric power cell will result in a final power upping of roughly 5x the new base value. I.e. if a mod makes the power cell generate 2000 power, then this will have it produce 5000W and then 10000W after research.

Known Issues


When an improvement technologies is researched, some Archonexus structures might not immediately update. To immediately correct this issue, save and reload, otherwise it will eventually get updated by the game.
