<----- Balance and Content Update ----->

Like the Reactor mod this update comes after several requests, the balance update! This may upset some players, but the stats were way off balance and were never intended to stay that way. These changes allow the mod battery items to fit better alongside the vanilla batteries.

Balance Changes:
All batteries have had their required input, max output, max storage, starting reserve, recharge rate, build time, PCU, and component cost adjusted.

PCU increased to 15 / Vanilla 1x1 - 15


Like the stats compared to their vanilla counter parts, a lot of the cost amounts per build component were decreased or increased to better balance them with vanilla items vs what the item offers in return.

Add-ons:
- Fixed and added LODs for all block items to help reduce render load for players and servers. Yes, this has increased the file size a bit.

Fixes:
- Reduced the height of the Large Storage tank by 1 block size from 3x6x3 to 3x5x3 due to visual tearing caused by the size of the block, this has corrected several visual texture issues with the item.

Updates:
- Patched the mod to bring to the most current dev build of the game to reduce possible issues.
- Updated stats to balance with vanilla counter-parts.
- Updated build stages with Construction material texture
- Updated the Large Storage tank model and lowered the controls to fit better with the character model.

Reverted back to previous version - will re-upload correct update.

Bad upload

<---------- Patch 5/10/22 ---------->

Small update to correct server side issues with variant grouping and GUI load errors in an effort to reduce server lag and crashes when running multiple server mods.

More adjustments coming in the next add-on update

<---------- Patch 4/28/22 ---------->

Patched to fix issues with the Dev update. Mod should match current build of the game.
