Reel 14 Jul @ 11:17pm

Filipino Goku 14 Jul @ 10:23pm 
Thank you for the update!
Hammer Goblin 14 Jul @ 10:21pm 
Oh look friend updated the mod: would you look at that. I don't get the general impatience of people. Took them 3-4 days.

Just a little patience would work out for you people.
ImUppy 12 Jul @ 4:22pm 
thank you for this mod!:tabbycat:
Hammer Goblin 11 Jul @ 10:44am 
Oh look its the 1.6 release suit; now I'm going to bloody ask; Will you release this for 1.6 o'good mod creator
Evono 5 Jul @ 4:18pm 
ye idk why people allways ask so early for a update , i mean if this would be a "inactive" mod for like a year a friendly question if there is a 1.6 would be fine , but this mod here is active and its better to update for the real thing than a beta that changes and stuff.
Hammer Goblin 29 Jun @ 10:11am 
P.S Good mod, I needed another power generator;
Hammer Goblin 29 Jun @ 10:11am 
>The only reason people want a 1.6 is because they play the beta for some reason. Impatience isn't illegal, but I feel like it should be...
Helixien  [author] 11 Jun @ 9:18am 
There will be no 1.6 update before the official release. Like always, "1.6 when" comments will be deleted and blocked.

Thanks for this mod, it's one of my favorites

Any chance we could get a patch that would allow us to the the mechanoid power cells from your mod with the craftable spartan armory mod? I was wondering since this is kind of a successor mod to the old mechanoid power mod and that mod was needed for the armor mod.
StockSounds 24 Jan @ 6:34am 
Quick response, thanks.
Helixien  [author] 24 Jan @ 6:32am 
@StockSounds: It does do the same thing, but it has more settings in the mod options. Thats it.
StockSounds 24 Jan @ 6:31am 
I have two questions.
- What does this do that Reinforced Mechanoids doesn't? (Besides yellow)
- Does it add a new obtainment method?

UNLIMITED PAUWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Psyckosama: No clue then, something must be broken on your end. I tried it and it works instantly. Given how many mods you use I am not surprised something breaks tho.
Psyckosama 7 Oct, 2024 @ 3:47pm 
several times.
Helixien  [author] 7 Oct, 2024 @ 12:14pm 
@Psyckosama: Have you restarted the game after you made changes?
Psyckosama 6 Oct, 2024 @ 3:21pm 
Yeah, no matter what I tweak or try and change, I still get 5000w output. I even changed the defaults. Still get 5000w output.

Psyckosama 3 Oct, 2024 @ 6:04am 
two things. One, I can't change the power output in the mod settings. I mean, I can, but the generator is still producing 5000w. Second, a more precision way to change the power output would be appreciated. Tight now the closest I can get to 10000w is 10007. May I suggest putting it in the form of a multiplayer instead?
Helixien  [author] 1 Oct, 2024 @ 5:22am 
No, it means it produces 5000Wh.
Mask of Humble 1 Oct, 2024 @ 4:25am 
What I am getting at is it makes "-"5000Wh meaning it takes 5000 Wh just to have this building build?
Helixien  [author] 30 Sep, 2024 @ 11:44pm 
That’s how power works in rimworld.
Mask of Humble 28 Sep, 2024 @ 1:54pm 
Its a generator but it produces -5000w?
Thranos 16 Aug, 2024 @ 4:15pm 
oh that's a RJW dong in the fridge
Reverie 15 Aug, 2024 @ 12:44am 
I love that dog image at the bottom xD Thanks for a morning chuckle!
Helixien  [author] 11 Jun, 2024 @ 10:32pm 
@Sentence: Death: Tested it, works fine. Seeing how you didn't bother with even a basic log and decided to go with a passive aggressive comment instead, I can not help you. If you are referring to the mod options saying -5000, that is how Rimworld works. Any building producing power has a negative power consumption value.
Death by coughs 11 Jun, 2024 @ 8:55pm 
Mine is doing the -5000 issue as well. Lame.

@Chris_ Try turning on dev mode and checking the log. Would wager it's unlikely this mod alone is the problem. Might also want to try disabling other mods to see if there's some mod interaction causing it.
Chris_ 18 May, 2024 @ 3:43am 
This mod causes extreme lag for me, i don't know why. As soon as i place the generator down it starts lagging, going from 2700 tps to 300
Molay 14 May, 2024 @ 4:35am 
I'm playing on Ice Sheet mountain tile, deep in the mountain. I cranked up the heat value for the generator, but it barely makes a dent, raising temp from -80 celsius to -70 in it's room (9x9). Is this supposed to be the case? I figured that I would actually have to still cool down the thing going by the description, but it doesn't seem to generate much heat. Is this intended? It's not a big deal, mind you, I was just surprised. I thought that it might cook the mountain. I played too much oxygen not included I guess and was worried about temperature :D
Enig 30 Apr, 2024 @ 11:39pm 
For anyone frustrated over not being able to fine tune the power output value with the slider in the mod options:

Open mod folder: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100\3041187151\1.5\Patches

Open Slider-Patches.xml file with wordpad, or some other program.

You need to change the <defaultValue> in ===Power Output === section from -5000 to whatever you want to

After that, when you enter the game and hit reset button in mod option, it will set the power output to that value.

I assume there are other ways of doing that, but that's what i managed to figure out and it worked for me...
SmArtKar 27 Apr, 2024 @ 11:47am 
you got some genitals in your fridge buddy
Helixien  [author] 12 Apr, 2024 @ 9:08am 
1.5 will come, all in good time!
Helixien  [author] 12 Apr, 2024 @ 4:34am 
@raz334: They are balanced fine, but of course depending on the DLCs you own they might be rarer. Given they are basically free energy I consider that to be good. As for the second point, they are balanced for the vanilla game, you compare them to another mod. So that is invalid. Also you can tweak their output in their mod settings.
raz334 11 Apr, 2024 @ 1:44pm 
-Vanometric Mechanoid Cells too rare, even with traders who charge the price of half your base for one....

- Power output isn't worth it, if you have other mods that allow the creation of regular vanometrics, and slap on the generator upgrades to those you can create one 3x more powerful than this mod's max settings (25k) within a slightly larger space (70k+). The regular vanometrics are significantly easier to make as well.

+Great Idea though, it gave me the idea to try combining the upgrades with the vanometrics,
-Sadly they don't work with your Generator :(.
Farron 5 Apr, 2024 @ 10:07am 
Hey are you planning on updating to 1.5?
Physchoo 25 Feb, 2024 @ 8:46am 
@Blackthorn A geo gen is 3600W and an adv. is 5200W
Blackthorn 19 Feb, 2024 @ 7:33am 
5k is only a smidge more than a geo gen, and less than an adv geo gen. or is it more?
XanderS 16 Feb, 2024 @ 5:10pm 
I just started using this mod, but it is awesome. Thank you for your time and hard work to bring us free content. I left a thumbs up and gave an award, I figured that is the least I could do considering I cannot afford to donate. Cheers mate.
@S3RG1E SH\/3TS The term; 'jury-rigged' is an old sailing term and in common parlance it means to have a temporary improvised or makeshift rigging. It is pronounced (at least where I am); "jerry-rigged", but 'jury-rigged' is the correct spelling. The more you know, have a good day.
Boshty 12 Jan, 2024 @ 2:47pm 
generates heat? a downside? *starts new colony in the arctic* perfect :D
S3RG1E SH\/3TS 14 Dec, 2023 @ 4:14pm

DillBoi 11 Nov, 2023 @ 4:11pm 
i come looking for new mods to break the game with, i leave searching for the construction worker cat image he has in his bug reporting section.
Alpharius 2 Nov, 2023 @ 3:31pm 
Damn another mod author taken by the labs....
dedog0445 21 Oct, 2023 @ 2:54pm 
guys look at the items in the freezer in the first image... he has the mod... the forbidden one...
baker 5 Oct, 2023 @ 1:57pm 
I am also having the same issue as Farron. After editing the mod settings to set to -25000, the actual in-game value hasn't changed even after a restart and unsubbing/resubbing and after starting a new game.

However I'm running the game heavily modded and haven't tested it without other mods. So I'll have to do some playing around with that some time in the future. Just thought I'd call out that he isn't the only person with this problem.

@Helixien
Yeah, I'll just build more in my very space-restricted spaceship/base :/

If I could, I would lol
Helixien  [author] 3 Oct, 2023 @ 11:05am 
Yeah, built more. The cells arent exactly rare.
