Ships Need Fuel

Description
Makes all non-ai-owned ships or stations need fuel (Energy Cells or Containers) to produce power.

If it cannot find suitable cells or cargo bay, it will use money instead.

If you cannot afford the fuel (no money) then all fuel-less ships get -100% power generation modifier.

Also solar-only ships are excluded from needing fuel.

Currently power costs
1c per 25MWh of power generated

or if you have cargo bay and compatible items:

1 energy cell per 1.20GWh or
1 energy container per 25GWh

Does this still work?

Interesting mod, definitely interesting enough to start a new galaxy with it and see how it pans out.

And I agree, hydrogen would make sense IMO. Maybe not so much as a chemical fuel, but definitely if used in fusion reactors. That would have pretty high energy density, and might explain its price too...

i think alongside makes more sense, but since i left this comment i realized that energy cells are basically free, since they require no inputs to create. and they are cheaper ingame than hydrogen

I think it makes sense to use raw hydrogen after cells, but before containers, since it falls inbetween money-wise, that would be up to you though, since its price / MW would be whatever you assign it.
i realized that hydrogen is actually pretty expensive ingame compared to other space games, which treat hydrogen more realistically. IE: cheap and abundant

i am not super concerned with the size of the generator since I am imagining that fusion energy is easy and cheap in this universe. and that is what the generator blocks are.

@armaggeddon321 instead of containers/cells or alongside?

If alongside, it is necessary to think over in which "slot" because for now it is Energy Containers, then cells and finally money.

TBH i am unsure if hydrogen would have energy density large enough to warrant its use as it would require "burn chambers" and turbines or thermoelectric cells large enough to provide electricity at quite large rates (somehow my brain attaches real physics here)

would it be possible to get an update that allows for the use of raw hydrogen as fuel?

@Caellion Thanks thanks thanks o.o

@🍓 Daytona 🍓

Try this, it is quick-and-dirty all notifications removed version.

Everything is fine, mod is working, I remembered that I used the version without no fuel notifications, how can I remove these annoying notifications without using the outdated version?

@ Caellion Okay, I'll check again, the last time I checked it, no one could connect to my server

@🍓 Daytona 🍓 with which version u had problems, I just ran my mod with 2.1m1942c50dc5c2 (beta) and it works

Unless there is some incompat with either your save or another mod or DLC (I don't own any so can't test this and thus won't support it), then it should work fine
