i Compatibility with Krastorio 2

Hi, thanks for the interesting mod!

Have you considered adjusting solar accumulator values when used together with Krastorio 2? In K2 the vanilla accumulator has the same parameters as the alien one (10 MJ / 600 kW), so instead of an upgrade, the alien accumulator becomes a (more expensive!) duplicate.

can you give me your suggested values with K2? I've already got some kind of compatibility for Bob's modules.

Well, with vanilla accumulator, alien accumulator has double the power & capacity, which would make it 20 MJ / 1.2 MW with K2. Although I don't have any experience with game balancing so I'm not sure how cheaty that would be. A 50% increase to 15 MJ / 900 kW could be a more balanced alternative.

the whole mod is cheaty really, - it's meant to be used as a healthy reward to enduring a death world. Bob's highest tier accumulators are around that 20/1.2 mark so I'll just make them that.

i might not get around to it today but feel free to deploy the accumulators and they'll be improved later with the new stats.

I tried it, but it still shows the old values. Maybe the problem is that I also have Clockwork mod that increases day/night time and multiplies the battery capacity accordingly?

Also, what about the solar panel? The vanilla one is 100 kW, and the alien one only 120 kW, which makes it a very small upgrade (especially compared to the difference in accumulators). Maybe that should be raised to 200 kW as well?

I'm going to look into this soon because I've started a K2 playthrough.
