Battery Degradation Mechanics

Version 0.3.1

This is beta, I haven't tested the mod balance enough yet, so I'm waiting for suggestions on what to change.

---

- Battery degradation
The mod adds the mechanics of battery degradation, when charging, the battery wears out, which reduces its capacity and maximum output.

To remove battery wear, it is necessary to remove all energy cells, and then weld in new ones.

- Loss of battery power from cold
Depending on the ambient temperature, the battery charge may decrease over time. The lower the temperature, the faster the battery discharge speed.
In outer space, if the battery is in a pressurized room, it will not discharge.

Vanilla survival in SE is extremely casual, and this mod aims to make it more difficult. Now just putting batteries no your grid is not a good idea, so there is a need to use a hydrogen engine (in vanilla, a completely dead and unused block), etc.

The file appears in "%AppData%/SpaceEngineers/Saves/<SteamId>/<World Name>/Storage/2875482854.sbm_BatteryDegradationMechanics" after saving the world with the mod.

In the config file, you can edit parameters such as:
batteryWearMax: maximum battery wear in %,
batteryWearMult: battery wear speed (set "0" to disable),
environmentTemperatureCold: the temperature at which the battery begins to lose charge,
coldDrainMult: charge loss speed at low temperature (set "0" to disable).
