Asteroid Electric Resistance Tweak

by Jtmzac

Changes medium and small asteroids from 100% to 80% electric resistance to make combined tesla and gun turret setups viable. There are also settings to change the resistance for big and huge asteroids

A small tweak that by default changes the electric resistance of only medium and small asteroids.

By default this value is 80% and you will still need gun turrets due to the slow fire rate of tesla turrets. It will however, notably reduce your gun turrets ammo usage, and most importantly, it looks really cool.

At 80% resistance the damage breakpoints for two shotting and one shotting a medium with a tesla turret are roughly electric damage 13 and 23. The former costs 1 million science and the latter 1 billion.

There's separate settings for the small, medium, big and huge asteroids for both percentage and flat electrical resistance if you would like to tweak them yourself.
