Thanks for the awesome mod. Could you make it so that the charged battery fits into the equipment grid? Like in this mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SchallPrimaryBattery_fork

Perhaps you could add some kind of personal power generator that uses batteries as fuel, similar to this one but smaller: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/PersonalBurnerGenerator_fork

I'll take a look at these and see what I can do..

eeee =)

Try that and let me know if you like it..

Everything is great, except for a couple of details.

I don't like the look of it, maybe you could change it to make it more understandable.

I've been scouring the internet for references, and I've also been torturing the AI ​​a bit, maybe some of this will inspire you.

I'd also like to point out that the mod
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SchallPrimaryBattery_fork
allows you to get early energy without researching batteries or using a refinery. This can be useful when playing on hardcore =)

Perhaps we could add some kind of primitive battery (fuel).
A real-life example would be old alkaline batteries.

Ill take some of those ideas and try to make it look like an add-on to the suit instead of a small power plant.

I have to watch about batteries, but I think i could just make where they can be crafted and burned out instead of recharged avoiding the whole system then when you get to the science you can get better batteries.. Give me a little time and I'll see what I can do for ya.

• I rushed this, so just tell me what you think...

Okay, overall I like your approach and I'm sure the result will be great

This is 100% what I asked for =)

Regarding the design of the module, I like everything, but it lacks a bit of bright colors, the module is pale gray.
The inventory grid background is gray, causing your module to blend into the background.

You can change the module's crafting recipe and not use red electronics in it?
It's expensive compared to the mods I showed.
And without oil refining it will be impossible to use your module.

The recipe also includes a generator building, which requires regular batteries, making us dependent on oil refining again =)

Fixed, i didn't even notice the color was off. I said looks good and ran with it.

I usually draw blanks too

I fixed the backpack (as I'm calling it), so it will be cheaper to make and able to use earlier.

I made just the basic buildings able to be crafted early, can't do the later one cause I don't want to throw off the balance I'm trying to create here.

Now it's perfect, thank you very much
