Summary

Adds non-rechargeable battery equipment, which can be crafted in the early game, and much cheaper than portable solar panel in short-term.
Options on enable grid to early armours.
Designed for “Schall Recharging Weapon” mod or as backup power to equipment grid.

Usage

Not enough power from portable solar panels?
Not enough resources to get portable fusion generators?
Want to have fun EARLIER with your personal laser defense or the recharging weapons?

Now you can craft these primary batteries very early in the game! They are also much cheaper to craft than those rechargeable personal batteries (in short-term uses.) Plug them into the equipment grid of armour like other personal batteries. Just remove and replace them when they run out.

This mod provides the following primary batteries:

• Dry battery: available from start.
• Alkaline battery: available with technology "battery".

This mod is designed for weapons of Schall Recharging Weapon. You can now utilize them way before the vanilla personal battery or modular armour come out!

By default (can be disabled in options), a small equipment grid is added to light armor and heavy armor, so you can plug the primary batteries in!

There is a shortcut (since version 0.17.4) that will replace all depleted batteries with new ones, if available in player inventory. If you use also my gun pod reload/unload shortcuts in Schall Gun Pod, this should look very familiar to you.

Uninstallation

This mod do not modify the existing content in the save game. This mod should be safe to be disabled/uninstalled at any time.

Mods Related

• Schall Recharging Weapon has introduced some weapons that do not need ammmo, but recharge from personal battery in equipment grid. The primary batteries can help a lot in powering up these weapons during the early game, until your portable fusion generators are ready.

Mods Compatibility

If other mods also adds grid to early armours, and is conflicting in accepted equipment categories, please change "Enable grid to early armours" option to "Append Only". This will only append the category of primary batteries, but not giving the grids or modifying the sizes.
