[WIP]
Discover a new power resource on nauvis - energy crystals! These organic structures grow in deposits deep underground and have to be extracted by a special machine as to not damage them in the process.
The crystals store alot of energy. Once that energy is used, or if they stay out of the ground for too long, they turn into a depleted crystal. You can bring these back to their seam and construct up to 3 "crystal recharges" next to it, which will recharge depleted crystals free of charge, but very slowly.
You can also use the crystals to improve various electrical items and machines, like solar panels and steam engines. However, using the crystals to craft will not yield a depleted crystal.
This is my first proper mod and its still heavily [WIP]. If you have any kind of feedback, feel free to share! For the art license, please refer to my graphics mod
Big thanks to the foundry discord for their help and guidance in this process!
