Description

This mod adds new electric parts. They're intended to fit in with the base game and to fill in some gaps. They can be useful for smaller vehicles such as drones, or simply for aesthetic reasons. I try to keep these parts as close to the base game as possible regarding art style and balance.

It should be safe to use these parts in your own (workshop) creations. Feel free to use them however you like. No credit is necessary, but a link to this mod's page is probably helpful for others to be able to use these parts in their own creations.

I plan to update this mod with more parts in the future. Suggestions are welcome!

This uses the new .bin mod format, so this should be compatible with multiplayer and workshop vehicles.

The source files for the mod can be found here: https://github.com/sprrk/sw-electric-parts-expanded
Everything is released to the public domain, so you can do whatever you'd like with it!

Name

Description

Battery Pack

Half the size of a medium battery, holds the same charge, and it's lighter. However, it's a lot more expensive.

Capacitor

Cheaper, smaller and lighter than a battery, but holds only a small amount of charge.

Power Socket

A power socket which works like a cable anchor. Can be attached to flat surfaces, including paintable blocks. Useful for electric vehicles.

Compact Relay

Works exactly like the vanilla relay, but it's smaller.

Electric Sensor Relay

Sends an on signal when powered by electricity.

Battery Cell

Half the size of a small battery, but holds the same charge. However, it is a lot more expensive.

Flat solar panel

Performs about 10 times better than the stock solar panel. It's cheaper and lighter too.

Note: This needs a 9 block clearance above the solar panel, because the game calculates the charge rate using the voxel count of the part.

Power Regulator

A better version of the stock power charger. It is a lot more powerful. The charge rate and maximum charge level can be configured via number inputs.

Diode

A one-way valve for electricity.

@GACHI
Yeah, when the devs fix the multibody component bug, I'll definitely add it again.

Dude, are you going to bring back that small robotic hinge and servo? Those were really useful parts.

@XEDDO25
Yeah, I should've done that differently, and I understand this is frustrating. There were a few other ways to handle the update and I've given them some careful consideration, but picked this way because I thought it would be the least problematic in the future.

This is the first mod I've ever made for a game, so I don't have a lot of experience with things like this yet. There isn't a lot of documentation, so I have to figure out a lot of this stuff on my own. This means I will make mistakes that will negatively affect people. I don't intend to make the same mistake twice though.

If you enable both this version of the mod, and the legacy version, nothing will show up in the parts list (from either mod), and all of the old parts will still have the red x texture over them.

XEDDO25 2 Sep @ 5:32pm

If you update a mod, at least leave the old textures for the blocks you decided not to support anymore, or create a separate mod instead of killing a mod with which people have played thousands of hours and their builds are based on the functional blocks of THIS mod, even returning the old mod but with a different workshop number will not restore all the work
