Re-Volt is an electrical overhaul mod for Stationeers, which mildly overhauls how power is distributed, what happens when things go wrong, and gives you more tools to control your power!


Load Centers! With the new Load Center structure, you can control entire sets of devices without needing a separate power network. Turn your lights, atmospherics, doors, equipment, or logic devices on and off en masse - and also supports data networking, with a secondary data port.

Electrical load is now proportionally shared among all sources on a cable network! No longer will you have to deal with one battery draining while the others are completely full! And even better, this goes the same for charging them. One battery won't hog all the power!

Wires no longer burn out instantly! Instead, wires will burn out with a random chance, based on how much you're overloading them. It never made sense that a cable which could carry 5,000 watts continuously would violently rupture in half a second when carrying 5,001 watts. And now it doesn't.

Stationary batteries are now charge- and discharge-rate limited. A single battery isn't going to take 100kW anymore, and these babies can discharge a fair bit quicker than they charge. You might need to re-design your power distribution, or use a few more batteries in parallel!

Circuit Breakers! Like fuses, with a greater degree of control over the specific trip point - and which, after tripping, can be reset without having to build a new fuse. These can also protect your wires if you get sudden surges of power...

Smart Breakers! If you wanted more information about what your breakers are doing, or need the instant trip? Smart Breakers are your solution.

Fuses still work. As long as there is a fuse rated low enough to protect the cable, that fuse will ALWAYS blow instead of a cable. And fuses blow instantly, no time delay.

Complex/recursive electrical networks are allowed. With the revised power simulation, the limit on transformers or batteries in recursive networks has been lifted. Over-engineer your bases to your heart's delight! Also, transformers are less exploitable now - but take note, they (and APCs) also properly apply their own power requirements to the upstream!


There's still more content on the way:

• Heavy Breakers, capable of interrupting much larger amounts of power
  
• Bug fixes, maintenance, and possibly more components in future!
  

Nothing is ever born in a vacuum, and neither was this mod. HUGE thanks to a number of folks in the Stationeers Modding Discord, and of course to Rocketwerkz for just being as awesome as they are.
