Cut Content: Burning Power Cell

This is my implementation of a cut/unimplemented feature. Not how it may have been implemented prior to being cut. Feedback is welcome.

---

Burning Power Cells were added in 1.4 alongside Biotech, but they are unused. They can still be spawned in via dev mode (Spawn Thing\BurningPowerCell) and work!

This mod makes it so:

• Mechanoids can randomly drop a burning power cell on death. This power cell explodes after a short while.
  
• The Power Cell texture is x128 instead of x64
  
• Mechanoid Chips (Biotech) are immune to explosive damage.

Mechanoids will now (at random) drop a damaged power cell that explodes after 30 seconds, it will explode sooner if damaged.

“A damaged mechanoid power generation unit. The cell has been destabilized by the death of the mechanoid, and is burning down in seconds. When critically damaged, this cell will explode.”

Once dropped, a Burning Power Cells loses 1 HP every second, with 30 HP they will explode after 30 seconds. They explode when their HP reaches 0, meaning if they take damage, they will explode sooner.

The explosion radius is 7x7 (excluding the corner cells.) It deals the same damage as a frag grenade. It will destroy walls, and shred pawns caught in the blast.


What the chances of a Power Cell dropping? - Check here!

Safe to be installed/removed mid-save
Includes support for Biotech
Odyssey support will be added soon.
