Machine Maintenance: Generator Cores

"Why isn't this in vanilla?" edition

A very simple mod that gives generator cores an actual use for your base. As well as a small money-sink / challenge for a player base. They can be found in mechanical shops in most major towns or in ruins.

They are obviously the magnetic coil that generates the electric current in any generator and yet they're distinctly lacking from the buildings that should actually require them. Other mods aim to remedy this by adding them to the construction recipe.

This mod makes it so generator cores are a fuel item that are needed in order for your generators (both wind and fuel based) to function and produce power.

If they are working at 100% capacity non-stop each generator core should last around 15 days. Though this is most likely going to be longer due to you not needing power at all times and gives you a reason to turn them off if they're not needed.

A unique quirk of this mod is that wind turbines don't consume any of the durability of their generator cores so long as no power is being consumed at home so don't worry about not building one without anything to power yet. More power means more frequent maintenance.

Let me know what you think. Maybe check out my other mods.
