May I add these blocks to a tiered mod for my dedicated server? Of course, I will give credit and link to the original mod in the description.

@FayDruh know I'm late but if light isn't a massless particle how is it blocked be obstacles or able to be affected by singularities as wouldn't something have to have mass to be affected by gravity?
VLeviBoi 22 Apr, 2019 @ 12:27pm 
sooo..., you basically added capacitors into SE
Greyson XMG 6 Aug, 2018 @ 2:40pm 
I find the occasional reminder to do so helps them keep up with things.

IIRC, some science article about a year back made a claim that photons might actually have a mass, but only while in motion, something something "photons have no rest state"

@kermiite "why cant energy have a mass anyway its still small also light has mass so why cant energy :/"

So I know you posted that like 5 months ago but... Batteries are actually heavier when they are full. However, light does not have mass. Light is by definition a massless particle. A lot of people think that only things with mass are affected by gravity and because light is affected by gravity (see black holes) then light must have mass, this is wrong. Gravity is about energy and mass has silly amounts of energy (see nuke) and light has much less energy. And because massless particles (like light) always travel at the speed of light (umm..) you can only see light bend around blackholes and large stars.

So basically, light doesn't have mass, but it has energy, and gravity is about energy, not mass.

Last I checked it does. I use it in all my worlds.

Doest this mod still work ?
TimeMaster 15 Jan, 2017 @ 12:12pm 
Does these supercaps also lose 30% of the energy when recharging them like a battery ? Meaning that I will need 13MW to recharge a 10MW supercaps to 100% at 10MW?
Shroom 16 Nov, 2016 @ 2:21pm 
@Lonewolf Perfect explanation, thank you.

However, Vas does raise a valid point. I may rebalance them just a tiny bit cheaper on my server at some point as there's almost no value at all to carry them on any mobile craft in their current state. But they will certainly need to stay a fair bit heavier than equivalent batteries to maintain balance.
Lonewolf 4 Nov, 2016 @ 3:03pm 
They don't store power chemicaly like a battery. This is electrostatic field stored on plates sandwiched between a nonconconducting layer. Stacked layer after layer. This makes them heavy. There also a chance they can explode so protection is factored in. A battery is a better option unless you want all the power out of it in one second. Also don't compare the numbers to real life. There is quite a bit of "gamification" required in SE to balance things out.

I use some of your mods and have great fun with it. Thanks for the time and effort you put into your work here. But I have found that in Assember and inventory the icon for the "Small Capacitor Module" is missing. Screenshot
Could you please make an update to repair this?
Shroom 26 Sep, 2016 @ 9:32am 
Energy doesn't have weight. Capacity/ability to store it most definitely does. Add to that the need for the capacitors to be able to discharge their entire capacity near-instantaneously, and you require bulky, high-quality capacitor cells, which means added weight/density.

Again, their primary utility is their high discharge rate. If they also had a ton of energy storage they would be very imbalanced and would render batteries obsolete. There are reasons they are the way they are.
Vas 24 Sep, 2016 @ 7:13pm 
Capacitors store a low amount of energy, for their quick discharge. They aren't heavier. Energy doesn't have weight. You sacrifice storage capacity for discharge rate. But whatever, I'll just remove them because I can't use them anyway. I'm not making 250 trips to build one damn teeny capacitor.
Shroom 12 Sep, 2016 @ 7:58am 
@Vas I mostly only use these at stationary stations. Capacitors are pretty heavy to be able to store and discharge as quickly as they can.
Vas 11 Sep, 2016 @ 5:41pm 
Why are the capacitors for this ridiculously heavy? Your energy capacity worse than real life?

If I recall right, your smallest large ship capacitor uses 500 small capacitor modules which store a total of 203.12 kWh, that means every module stores 406.24 watt hours. An AA battery RL right now, holds between 2000 to 3000 watt hours. So your technology, is a step backwards. :P

Anyway, I felt I should mention this. You should at the very least, lighten the capacitors because as it stands, I can only carry 2 at a time, maximum. Its horribly bad, so bad I'm actually going to remove the mod because I just can't make a capacitor if I have to make 250 trips minimum for the smallest capacitor on a large ship just to store less energy than a car battery RL which, I can carry in one trip, not 250 trips to the car to piece the battery together.

In the Assembler, one of the components this mod adds is missing a texture. :P

moder here my new summary about me Three thing you should know a bout me one
my personality is just like angry joe and bluedrake so if you don't like them you're not going to like me
Two I analyze and always tell the truth

Your Got right on the gentleman part my girlfriend know that because well I respect her and top that me and her are both waiting till marriage now if I can only get her in pc instead of crappy Xbox but you don't need to know my full irl live
Shroom 27 Jun, 2016 @ 12:25am 
@warangel you're truly a gentleman and a scholar.
VS-lockon 26 Jun, 2016 @ 11:47pm 
@shroom idc if he die or not my real point of that the picture is just show someone what a real car crash looks like😎😎 tope of that I don't like cops since a lot of them where I live are corrupted so if all the cops that don't care a bout the law dies it be a happy day for me 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
Shroom 26 Jun, 2016 @ 1:15pm 
@warangel google "crumple zones". that officer probably got out without even a concussion.
Ninlilizi 21 Jun, 2016 @ 5:51am 
This is like a car crash. I just can't stop looking.

@shroom by children I mean you
VS-lockon 20 Jun, 2016 @ 10:06pm 
Nope more like he went to play a non steam game because he's tired of playing with your children that don't know two shit and don't act you age ps that non steam game called world of tanks
Shroom 20 Jun, 2016 @ 8:57pm 
It looks like he's finally stopped blathering incoherently. at least we can hope.
Eikester  [author] 20 Jun, 2016 @ 8:55pm 
Guys can you plz stop it?

I'm scarred for life!! Help me!
VS-lockon 20 Jun, 2016 @ 2:20pm 
Ps if you click that link gets scarred for life yeah I think I just ruined everyone's childhood at least if they grew up during dragon tail and Barney age
Shroom 20 Jun, 2016 @ 2:19pm 
Oh no, now I want to kill myself!

You got me!!
VS-lockon 20 Jun, 2016 @ 2:16pm 
don't mess with me I could ruin everyone's childhood I can also make evry grown ass man wants to kill himself ps you know what I'm ruin everyone childhood right the fuck now https://static1.e621.net/data/0a/44/0a442e1ad9a12821c9df3b62194b6553.jpg ya that what I hadn't by ruin ever one childhood PS little kids not click on that link it's rated R
Shroom 20 Jun, 2016 @ 2:15pm 
Okay Mr. Hacker, my IP address is 192.168.1.1.

Show me the best you've got!
VS-lockon 20 Jun, 2016 @ 2:14pm 
@shroom you only got one thiing right there kid the one thing is that every Network have a different IP address but what you don't understand also a software that tracks IP address of any certain person I had that software and for coffee shooting out here knows I guess your nose bleeding now too because hot coffee can burn the blood vessels in nose break man your dumb when it come to software and hacking all so do I need to do this to you https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/600x315/9a/e0/53/9ae053b41f8dc50aa3049204c79550f6.jpg as well as one that says you messed with the wrong nerd and then delete every other file on your computer where only those whose Pop Up error will show dude. playing with fire you're gonna get burned last and final warning grow up start acting mature and stop being a Cyberbully to people with disabilities or else but snot-nosed little kid that Probably Mom and Dad's basement
Shroom 20 Jun, 2016 @ 12:01pm 
1 - Yes, asking a question that could be answered by reading the first sentence of the description is pointless and wastes the time of everyone involved.

2 - Good luck accessing any even slightly secure external network using advanced IP scanner. I'll give you the IP of my server if you want, let's see what you can do.

3 - Having a disability does not make you a precious snowflake whom nobody should argue with. Take your self-serving entitled whining elsewhere.
Shroom 20 Jun, 2016 @ 11:57am 
I just snorted my coffee out my nose. Thank you for the quality entertainment.
VS-lockon 20 Jun, 2016 @ 11:38am 
Any questions or comments now kid I didn't think so
VS-lockon 20 Jun, 2016 @ 11:15am 
Steps to Hack IP Address:


1) Prepare the IP address of the Victim. (e.g : 101.23.53.70 )
2) Download and Install Advanced Port Scanner.
3) Open Advanced Port Scanner and Type the IP Address in the right column and Click Scan.
4) It will lists you all Opened Ports of the Victim’s PC or Router. (e.g : Port 91 )
5) After retrieving the IP address and the Opened Ports of the Victim, Open Command Prompt (CMD)
and Type: telnet [IP ADDRESS] [PORT]
e.g : telnet 101.23.53.70 91
6) Now you’ll be asked to Enter Login Information, Just type Username and Password and hit Enter.
If no password is used just type the Username.
Done! Now you’ll get access to all Victim’s Files and Documents by browsing with CMD (use cd, copy, delete, mv… to do all tricks.) 🙂 @shroom how dumb do you feel now ps that only basic hacking using an IP
VS-lockon 20 Jun, 2016 @ 10:59am 
Dude I don't see how is ask if this a reactor or a damn battery pointless and. I can. Only read to a certain grade level when said stuff like that your the one being mean and a ass hole moronn but you're being cyber-bullied I don't like Cyberbully at all so either when you learn some manners and stop being mean to people with disabilities or else
Shroom 20 Jun, 2016 @ 10:52am 
I also find it very amusing you think we're dumb enough to believe your spiel about what a good "hacker" you are.
Shroom 20 Jun, 2016 @ 10:51am 
@warangel I'm not being mean to you, I'm very reasonably explaining why you should stop making pointless and toxic comments on the Steam workshop. Go take your autism elsewhere.
VS-lockon 20 Jun, 2016 @ 10:15am 
@Shoom you don't have to agree with me you just have to stop being mean tto the people that can't read well like me all it would take was a simple yes or no but you said is well me comments are stupid and what not and ps I'm use a table right now not a dam keybrode right now my pc is downloading ps 2 aka planets side ,2 and ܔܢܜ1@ηιηℓιℓιzιܔܢܜ you don't read words on hacking most computer is binary code which is numbers so ya and @both of you did anyone teach you manners because both of you are lacking in that area
