Power Overload


Performant, semi-realistic electricity and power distribution overhaul. Power poles can explode if the total electrical consumption on the network is too high. Use transformers to separate networks so that subnetworks do not take more power than they can handle.

Thanks for this mod!
I'm passionate about making Factorio more grounded in physics. Your semi-realistic model works great. It pushes you to manage and distribute energy in a more thoughtful way

This mod fits what I was looking for in making power distribution more realistic. Thank you!

Yep will not play without this, I like having a push pull back and forth with the different gameplay loops like biters and progressively growing the factorio as new technology provides a new power level to abuse.

But without the back and forth factorio can so quickly become a copy paste sim.

Please keep making great mods that attention hack midwits like me to enjoy the parts of the game which are just glossed over in the name of gameplay accessibility.

Electricity is such an underutilized way to balance all the cool overpowered builds.

My dream is to take this a step further with heat propagation that reduces steam power density (without the mess of it turning into other fluids until good gameplay for dealing with this exists in the base game). But more broadly making factory layout and green play less ignored in the medium term - we would not want our steam engines short circuiting things with their pollution or affecting the production of things etc.

This is quite a tangent from appreciating but I cannot help how alive and electric this mod makes me feel !!!
