@Shaquille Oatmeal The small consumes the same amount of power cells as manually placing and grinding 1 battery. I agree that battery power is strong, I'd always use it over solar or hydro in a space start, since you already need production around and there is infinite stone. I think since the devs "balanced" for it, they should just add this mod to vanilla so everyone can easily use it, instead of just those in the know.

i mean small one, not small grid btw

what is the consumption like? because power cells are so cheap it sounds a bit OP if the small grid one outputs 12MW. that's more than 2 hydrogen engines but with a fraction of the hassle

@Swadius Thanks for checking it out. I'll keep that in mind for sure.

Thought the power cell was a custom made item when reading the description heh ;)

If you need to tweak balance further, one way to balance it more is to make it really heavy. No special parts needed, just a lot of base metal parts. Trading the convenience of it with portability limited heavily to static grids.

I adjusted the amount of Power Cells it pulls in to more closely match how much a Vanilla PCD might use. currently 88 and 611 or so? Vanilla would be 80 and 560. This should keep it from stealing all your power cells.

I ground down my vanilla versions and used the exact comps for the mod version.
