Discharged Power Cells for Batteries

@Blue64 I have the same problem

Am I the only one who hasn't found a single Discharged Power Cell in months? I can build them, I can build Rechargeable Batteries, I can build Disposable Batteries, but I just get Scrap in return.

@Jo you don't use Silver in a NiCa or Lead Acid Battery, which is what these batteries are: Nickle Cadmium Acid Batteries.

Just a heads up if it hasnt been stated before. since the survival update, the 'small battery' does not give back power cells.

Hi Phoenix, I am currently putting together a server which has many new resources based on the Gens materials and components mod and as such the recipes for all blocks will be incorporating these new resources . I am asking if it is ok for me to tweak the recipe of the mod to make a server specific version? ... I will make it so it will only work on my server and point everyone back here if they would like to use it including your thumbnail etc ....

The idea for the mod is good, but it clogs the ship's grinders for some reason, so they don't collect anything else when full. If you won't fix it, then I don't see a way arround of using this. I'll just stick with the vanilla scrap mechanic (even though it should have been silver, or silver ore, not scrap). But it's preferable than clogged grinders.

that sounds amasing i want to see it done!!!

Phoenix, are you still into modding? I recently had a new idea on batteries: Splitting them into rechargeable, starting with no charge, and non rechargeable, starting with full charge. The rechargeables behave just like the vanilla ones pre 1.04 but without initial charge and replace them. The new non rechargeables have a different component which disappears when the battery looses charge, so that the amount of components is equal to the charge and you can always recharge it manualy by welding it with the components in your backpack. The battery itself counts how many cells it consumed and gives them back, when welded. The returned discharged cells can be processed by the refinery, like scrap metal and return less, than the cells originally cost.
Maybe you could even recharge your suit energy, like bottles recharge your gases, when low.

What do you think of this?

Good news, everyone! For those who can't wait till cosmetics little thing be fixed you can use this mod instead: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1121149819 . Mods are completely interchangeable. You will be able to switch to original mod as soon as it is fixed.

Like Slye_Fox, the icon need an update, beside non-matching the original, the white frame on the border make difficult to read how much we've got in inventory.

But beside this cosmetic little thing, it's a good mod :)
