Power Storage

Description
Are you tired of unpredictable green energy giving your city rolling brownouts? This mod adds a new building type that can store the excess electricity produced in times of plenty, to use in times of need.

Two new buildings
  • Flow Battery Facility
  • Compressed Air Storage - reused industrial game assets for now


Configurable
  • Energy loss during storage.
  • Margin before energy is taken from the gird for charging.
  • Margin for energy provided to the gird during discharge.
  • Chirper notification when the city is running on backup power.

I made this mod because I'm better at C# than I am at placing hydro power plants, but it helps with fluctuating wind and solar too. The new buildings can also buy you some time if your city has some unexpected growth.

If you can help me with better assets, have any ideas for improvement or would like to report a bug, let me know.

@Cherrie_The_Shifter ΘΔ Sorry, I've not played in a while and I don't have all the DLC. I just tested it with no other mods except harmony and it was working. If you could get me some more information about your issue I might be able to sort it for you.

I don't have any errors, but my buildings never output any of the power that they store. Like @Donavan, I am using the Total Autobudget (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2803558200) mod, so that may be a factor. I don't know which of this years updates this problem started with, as my play has been spotty and it's honestly hard to notice.

Any chance of getting this mod to work with the "Total Autobudget" mod? Even with the buffer on that mod, the power storage buildings stay stuck at 0MW unless I manually adjust the mudget.

its fully working, perfect but could you add some bigger saving buildings?

seems to not work with the financial districts update.

The mod works without problems.

Another FYI and confirmation: just recieved word that other mods indeed also face this issue and the solution works with them.
For example Bulldoze It! https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1627986403

So I'd say, spread the word! :steamhappy: (at other mods/modders which seem to have an issue in their mod with Notification.Problem)
