@Private Pyle I have no issues with that when I test it. You may have some other mod-conflict

when I place an Underground Power Conduits (Olchemists Mod) under a wall, I cannot place a wall mounted battery on that wall. Is that intended?

Fixed up the textures a bit

Can you improve the appearance?
Mlie  [author] 18 Dec, 2022 @ 10:46am 
@Krazyfan1 Looked into it but the electric charging only works on batteries that have edifies set to true. This being mounted on walls have that set to false.
Ill see if they can change it.

@Mlie special abilities tetra coils

@Krazyfan1 Cant find the gene in Alpha Genes. Can you tell me the name of it?
Krazyfan1 16 Dec, 2022 @ 10:36pm 
@Mlie there is a Gene in the Alpha genes mod that gives the pawn a permanent aura around them that passively adds energy into nearby batteries slowly.

that doesn't happen with these batteries.

the same with the vanilla psycast expanded and alpha animals electricricity psycast, which basically does the same thing.

@Krazyfan1 Havent had time to look into the dlc, can you explain a bit more?
Krazyfan1 16 Dec, 2022 @ 3:40pm 
unfortunatly doesn't work with the electric charging abilities of alpha genes and the tetra slug

@Mlie hey man, I just used the other wall mounted battery mod by gouda quiche to fix the problem, didnt agree with its battery efficiency and storage capacity, so I edited its .xml file to the one I prefered, your mod is nice too, but the other one just have better aesthetic, great mod still man!

@HAZRAD Any gfx rework would be welcome. I built the mod but had noone to do the gfx, and I obviously have no such skill.
HAZRAD 8 Nov, 2022 @ 2:59pm 
Hey Mlie, love this mod! A suggestion though, can you rework the art because (this is my personal opinion) its kinda ugly... Maybe just use the art of vanilla battery and make it mountable on a wall else just make the outer casing (the grey metalic looking part of your battery) square shaped instead of trapezoidal, the storage capacity, size and everything is already perfect!

@Ali50 Conduits in walls have no physical form (edifice) and the default blueprint placement function does not allow placing the battery as it does not have it either.
The over wall cooler solution is sort of implemented as you can place it over a wall but the cooler has an edifice so the game allows it.
Ali50 28 Sep, 2021 @ 3:33pm 
@Mile could you explain that a bit more about the edifice? I only scratched RW modding so far with wrtiting a few xml-patches for my own balancing and I don't want to seem ignorant about mod coding as a software engineer myself.
I was just thinking that it could be done like with over-wall coolers from "Replace Stuff" and wall-mounted door acceleration devices from "DoorAccelerator"
Mlie  [author] 28 Sep, 2021 @ 1:26pm 
@Ali50 Unfortunately Rimworld does not allow two buildings that has no edifice defined on the same tile. So there is not much I can do about it.

@Mlie I cannot place down Batteries on walls that already have power conduits in them. Can you add the possibility to replace / overwrite them?
Mlie  [author] 14 Sep, 2021 @ 9:45pm 
@All Is a nerf wanted from more users?
coolguyz667 14 Sep, 2021 @ 5:19pm 
@Mile I would reduce their cost some, and reduce capacity down to 1/4. This way they function great as backup or outside power sources rather than just replacing batteries altogether. If you think this is too far, that's understandable, your the mod author and perhaps understand this balance better than I do.
Mlie  [author] 11 Sep, 2021 @ 2:26pm 
@coolguyz667 The cost is already higher, what would the power be set to?
coolguyz667 11 Sep, 2021 @ 1:13pm 
recommend you scale back the power output for balance reasons, half capacity and works in rain for something that can be wall mounted is too powerful
VelxraTV 11 Sep, 2021 @ 3:13am 
really enjoy these. they charge fairly fast and last long enough to be useful. plus they can be placed anywhere to form power backup areas easily.

Nice, simple little solution.
