How to change the power consumption for this mod: Industrial Wall Cooler (workshop mod)
1000w is crazy for an industrial wall cooler. Most power generators in the game only provide a maximum of 1000w. This mod requires one power generator for each industrial wall cooler. You can change this mod's files to edit the power consumption number to whatever you want...

The vanilla cooler has a power consumption of 200w.
This mod's industrial wall cooler has a power consumption of 1000w.

To edit this mod 's power consumption of 1000w you need to...

1. start your rimworld game from steam
2. open the mods tab from the main menu
3. click this mod ( industrial wall cooler )
4. click on the advanced tab found on the right side
5. click open folder from the advanced tab drop down menu
6. your computer's file explorer should open and your game will minimize
7. open the folder with your game's version ( I opened the folder named: 1.4 )
8. open the folder named: def
9. open the folder named: Thingdefs_Buildings
10. there is a file named: Buildings_Wall_IndFreezer.xml
11. edit this file / open this file... if it does not open try to right click on this file and select "open with..." and open this file inside of WordPad or notepad or any txt editor (Notepad++, etc...)
12. ctrl+f and type: power consumption
13. or ctrl+f and type: 1000
14. the text line says something like <power_consumption>1000<power_consumption>
15. edited this 1000 number to 400 or to any number you want
16. save this file (either file > save or ctrl+s)
17. close out of the rimworld game after saving this file
18. start rimworld. Have fun.
??. click the mods tab from the main menu to disable and enable this mod... the game will restart, again.
??. if something does not work or the mod crashes or the game crashes... you can always unsubscribe from this steam workshop mod and subscribe to the mod again...

original code:
true</drawPlaceWorkersWhileSelected> <comps> <li Class="CompProperties_Power"> <compClass>CompPowerTrader</compClass> <basePowerConsumption>1000</basePowerConsumption> <transmitsPower>false</transmitsPower> <shortCircuitInRain>false</shortCircuitInRain> </li>
new code:
true</drawPlaceWorkersWhileSelected> <comps> <li Class="CompProperties_Power"> <compClass>CompPowerTrader</compClass> <basePowerConsumption>400</basePowerConsumption> <transmitsPower>false</transmitsPower> <shortCircuitInRain>false</shortCircuitInRain> </li>

This mod's industrial wall cooler is size 2x2 in the game and the default vanilla cooler is size 1x1.Most large fridges and freezers in this game require 2 vanilla coolers during the summer and use 200w per 1x1 cooler. Because this industrial wall cooler is 2x2... I chose a game balanced number of 400w. You can also choose 800w. You can also type 1 so that the industrial wall cooler only uses 1w which is kind of cheating. Also, do not put the w inside the code. Follow the instructions above perfectly and you can see the results in game.
