**WARNING: There are currently a few issues/crashes that occur on import with versions after 0.1.7. Use version 0.1.7 if you are not starting a new game. (0.1.7 does not work in vehicles) I'm a bit busy, so it may take some time before I can get around to fixing these issues.

Version up of previous mod by Xalos: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/PersonalTransformer

Adds a new equipment module for armor which allows the player to recharge their armor by being in an electric network - or powering the electric network instead.

Each personal transformer module is a 2x2 module, and supports a 200 kW/1MW/4MW charge or discharge rate. The module does not generate or store energy on its own, so batteries are necessary if you want to power an electric network with this module. However, any module with an internal energy buffer (such as energy shields, personal laser defenses, and personal roboports) can be charged directly from an electric network without any batteries.

Two new toggle buttons are added to the toolbar. One for allowing power into the armor, and one for allowing power out of the armor. Input, Output, or both can be enabled simultaneously. If the 'Input' button is not enabled, power will not flow into your armor. If the 'Output' button is not enabled, power will not flow out of your armor and into your power network.

By default, the equipment does not work in vehicles. There is a setting to enable that, but transformers in vehicles is not working 100%

Note: Now works with vehicles/trains! (off by default)
- Well, mostly. There's a couple of big bugs, but nothing that should crash the game.
- If you have an idea and some experience trying to add this functionality please add a post to the discussions tab to start a discussion saying you want to help.
