Android Reactors

Description
Feature:
Adds a few subroutines that increase the Power Efficiency of Androids (Vanilla Races Expanded - Android).

Tier 1: Basic Quantum Reactor
Complexity: +10
Power Efficiency: +50

Tier 2: Advanced Quantum Reactor
Complexity: +20
Power Efficiency: +100

Tier 3: Hyper Quantum Reactor
Complexity: +50
Power Efficiency: +200

Lore
Basic Quantum Reactor: An early foray into quantum energy harvesting, the Basic Quantum Reactor replaces conventional android power cores with a streamlined device that taps into ambient quantum fluctuations.
While modest in capability, it offers a tangible improvement to energy efficiency without significant increases in construction complexity. Reliable, proven, and far superior to legacy designs, it marks the first step into a new era of android endurance.

Advanced Quantum Reactor: Building on the foundations of earlier designs, the Advanced Quantum Reactor introduces refined containment fields and optimised flux conversion algorithms.
These enhancements allow androids to draw deeper and more stable power from quantum fluctuations, further improving operational efficiency. The intricate engineering behind this reactor comes at the cost of extended construction time, but the benefits speak for themselves: double the Power Efficiency of the basic model.

Hyper Quantum Reactor: The pinnacle of quantum reactor technology, the Hyper Quantum Reactor employs hyper-stabilized quantum fields and precision-engineered cores to extract near-maximum usable energy from the quantum realm.
Reserved for only the most advanced android models, this masterpiece of engineering significantly increases energy efficiency, up to an unprecedented level. Its intricate fabrication demands patience and precision, but those willing to invest in its creation gain androids whose endurance borders on the extraordinary.

Notes:
1.If you want to test this mod and see how it, using dev-mode you can edit an android's genes, you can find them under the name P27_Reactor_Rank_X.
2.The the genes work like optional hardware.
3. I've tried to balance it by increasing the complexity for the genes, resulting in a longer build time when the genes are used.

Balance:
1.Probably not very balanced. I am welcome to feedback on this matter.
2.Removing the mod mid-playthrough, causes some one time errors to happen.

The mod has been reworked and updated for 1.6!

@Hustler One - I've gone in a different direction with the rework. Let me know what you think if you play with it.

@reginaldkirksey - It has been updated today! But i have no plans to add content in the future. Just updating it when a new game version releases.

is this mod still being updated?

Interesting mod, but needs more fleshing-out and more mechanics: for example, industrial reactors should suck---but enable you to refuel your android with chemfuel, producing heat and fumes around them.

yes

Will this mod still work in 1.4?
Petre27  [author] 1 Nov, 2024 @ 1:44pm 
@Trapus - The mod was originally created for the 1.4 game version, and later updated for 1.5.

Is this 1.4 tag meaning that this mod is functional with game version? I've encountered a few mods that mislead users.

IMO, maybe change the names of the included reactors: "Industrial Reactor" seems to be out of place because presumably the default reactor isn't medieval tech that would need to be replaced by industrial tech. The three tiers being Spacer, Ultra, and Archotech would seem more appropriate.

is there any chance you can do the same for RAM as well

Dude, this is going to help make my dreams of OP androids reality! Thank you!:dredge_classy:
