Description



VFE - Power is HIGHLY recommended but not required. The infographics and mod page text assume you have it.

I try not to meta-game too hard, but when it comes to something kinda boring like power, I just default to spamming geothermals and forgetting about the rest.

So, I’ve made a few changes to make this not the case:
  • Normal and Advanced Geothermals have been nerfed to encourage more variety in power setups.

  • Tidal Generators got a small buff since they’re more expensive than geothermals and fill a similar niche.

I also made a few other changes such as Industrial Chemfuel/Wood Fired Generators also getting nerfed a small bit as they were too efficient for what they cost.

Advanced Batteries were given 50% more capacity, a bit more health while doubling the advanced component cost, along with adding a Small Advanced Battery (which VE Power somehow didn’t have).

The Nuclear Reactor also felt underwhelming if it got destroyed nothing happened. Now, if it takes heavy damage or gets destroyed, it’ll explode in a massive radius, leaving behind a crater. (I wanted it to make it create fallout too, but that’s not possible in XML maybe i'll revisit if I ever learn C#.)

Advanced Power and Batteries now require Multi-Analyzer research.

Finally, I buffed the Ship Reactor’s power output by 5x. It’s still inefficient cost-wise, but 1000W for an endgame structure felt pretty lame. Now it gives a nice power boost while you’re surviving those final raids.

As always, if you run into a bug, please leave a comment containing a hugslib log + what you were doing when it happened. (If you don't give me a hugslib log and I chop off your limbs)

Full list of changes:
Vanilla changes: * Geothermal gen power 3600w -> 3200w * Ship reactor power 1000w -> 5000w Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Power changes: * Added Small advanced battery * Advanced geothermal generator power 5200w -> 4800w * Industrial chemfuel/wood fired generator power 2400w -> 2200w * Tidal generator power 2200w -> 2500w * Advanced batteries nuclear power and advanced power sources now need the Multi analyzer research. * Advanced power sources research cost 2500 -> 3000 * Nuclear power research cost 3500 -> 4000 * Nuclear reactor now causes a big explosion leaving a crater behind if significantly damaged or destroyed * Nuclear reactor now glows a slight green when active * Advanced battery stored energy 800w -> 1200w * Large advanced battery stored energy 2000w -> 3000w * Advanced battery spacer component cost 1 -> 2 * Large advanced battery spacer component cost 2 -> 4 * Large advanced battery glow range 6 -> 7 * Large advanced battery health 240 -> 270 * Advanced battery health 120 -> 150




Q: CE Compatible?
A: Its just power so I sure hope so.
Q: This sounds op! muh balance!
A: I tried my best to keep things balanced while also keeping things fun. If you think something is off, let me know!
Q: Save game compatible?
A: Should be safe to add and remove (delete all small advanced batteries first).




Oskar Potocki: Letting me use the advanced battery texture to make the new small advanced battery.
Smxrez: All the XML.

it's still a fine mod :D
I'm probably just not the target audience, but it's still real cool of you to share your work

heres an idead, with biotech (i think thats the one) have it do a month long toxic fallout along with a massive pollution spread. or you can try and make your own version

@sethkwright

Thank you very much! Now I can no longer enjoy playing Fallout! Right when I decide to buy the classic games to give them a go!
I hope you're proud of yourself

nuclear reactors may glow blue, but green is better because green is my favorite color and thus is the best color. checkmate science.

1.0.2
- Tidal generator power 2400w -> 2500w
- Advanced power sources research cost 3500 -> 3000
- Nuclear power research cost 4500 -> 4000

I accidentally published the previous update without these changes

@sethkwright i was debating going blue tbh but i felt green was more widely known so I was unsure what to do lol
Smxrez  [author] 20 Oct @ 1:02pm 
1.0.1

- Reverted advanced battery efficiency nerfs (85% -> 90%)

GRRR... GRRRRR!!! please chgange the nuclear reactor to be blue or atleast add an option to make it blue cause if you look at an image of the nuclear reactor they glow BLUE NOT GREEN! THE HOLLYWOOD HAS FOOLED THE MASSES! THIS IS

Finally, the nuclear reactor works.
