I love this mod a whole lot! It lets me queue vampire's bloodfeed ability so I can drain a pawn all at once, very useful for the vibes I'm going for. Thanks for making it!

Hey Restless; I'm having the same issue Victor was having below, but when I replace the first #BASECHARGES with the suggestion you included not only nothing changes, but the piercing spine ability now has -1 charges and is unusable. lol

What specifically must be done to correct this?

Victor, go to the mod settings, replace the first entry (which says "#BASECHARGES...") with "#BASECHARGES_single, #!FINALCOOLDOWN_zero". Like CtrlA CltrV

I got a problem: Bloodfeed is usually always available, but now I ran out of charges and can't use it.

AVE, you get 1 charge every x hours, where x is cooldown time for ability. Adding charge doesn't require psyfocus, but spending does. In general, using abilities with charges works exactly the same as without it, ie requires psyfocus, neural heat etc, but instead of resetting cooldown it removes one charge, allowing multiple usages within short period of time. This can be valuable for abilities like fire spew, so you could use it, for example, 3 times, and then forget about it for 15 days.
Hopefully this explanation makes sense.

A few questions:

How VPE charges work? Do they spend psyfocus and add heat as per usual cast?
How ability charges are restored? Every expired cooldown adds one charge?
How it works on VPE psycasts, ie do they spend psyfocus and add heat when adding a charge?

Yeah, I believe that if an ability has a long cooldown, the player should have at least some buffer when using it. In fact, this idea came to me when I just started playing RimWorld, as I was unspeakably disappointed about impids having 1 not very strong ability with crazy cooldown.

This is actually insanely interesting as a concept.
It feels like a lot of the less-useful powers compared to VPE and ROM might actually have a more-applicable function now, as opposed to things being underwhelming for an insane cooldown.
