<----- Notes ----->

Specs:
LG Large Energy Storage Tank
Input – 240 MW | Output – 240 MW | Max Storage – 60 MWh | 30% Initial Stored Power

LG Energy Storage Unit
Input – 26 MW | Output – 26 MW | Max Storage – 8 MWh | 30% Initial Stored Power

SG Compact Energy Storage Unit
Input – 6 MW | Output – 6 MW | Max Storage – 3 MWh | 30% Initial Stored Power

SG Energy Storage Core
Input – 1 MW | Output – 1 MW | Max Storage – 300 KWh | 30% Initial Stored Power




- The Large Storage Tank takes up the same block space as 54 1x1 blocks. This tank will take up a bit more space than using 1x1 blocks, and it also doesn’t offer the same amount of output nor storage as 54 blocks but will get you close for a third of the cost, ultimately costing you less and eventually taking up less space than 1x1s.

- 1 Large Tank is equal to:

o 20 – 1x1 batteries of storage
o 20 – 1x1 batteries of input & output
o 12 – 1x1 batteries worth of build materials
o 54 – 1x1 batteries worth of space


NiteOwl Battery Pack has it’s own category in the menu, but incase you want to search for items,

@ BSG-22 Wiki: There's a few other posts here, too than mention some figures b4 balance patch. And While You might not be able to figure out all the *exact* numbers, I'm sure you could calculate most of them.
Mr_Mosey 1 May @ 2:47pm 
@ BSG-22 Wiki I might have the numbers *somewhere*. I like to copy & paste mod page info to Word when I get the chance, not sure if i managed to save the data on this one, though. What you could do is do that math on how much power your miner used & come up with the data that way.

Another thing is Kaedys posted a few figures back in 2023 about how much juice the largest one produced.

It's alright, I customized the code. I made it so that it costs 30% more than 45 batteries since it's a 3x5x3 and hold 30% more for a total of 200MWh. I wanted to make it a more compact/dense of storage while spending more resources in return.

@BladeWaltz - Ok, thanks for letting me know. I will take a look at the code, possible I typed in the wrong numbers or my math was bad lol.

Just downloaded the mod, there's an issue with the large energy tank, it only stores 20MWs instead of 60MWh. Other blocks work fine. Cool mod overall.

do these return power cells or scrap when ground down?
Wiki 11 Jun, 2024 @ 7:45am 
Does anyone have the old, pre-balance patch power figures for the batteries? I'm in need of them to compare to the more balanced figures as our miner used to run on 3 of the small grid energy storage cores and I'm curious as to how much power that was so I can upgrade it accordingly.

@MTGraves - no worries still looks cool

@A lovable noob - If you're talking about the green parts that light up, that is a preset color set by the code for the block type. Would take extra code to change the color which would still be just one color. And I'm not aware of any mods that allow changing reactor/ Battery lighting color

Love this mode i dont care if they are op I'm using them in creative
My only issue is changing the color i can change the outside color but not the green tubes
