Fluid Battery

Battery recharge or refillable using charged energy fluid.

Are you tired of having plenty of renewable energy, but never were you need it or waiting 15 minutes for your ship's batteries to be recharged?
Then Space Equipment Limited a Dummy Industries company is proud to present you the solution:


This Battery is 100% compatible with a vanilla battery, it has the same size, power input/output, capacity, priority and could be recharged as the vanilla battery.
But it also could be refilled using precharged energy fluid, so instead of having to wait until you ships batterys are recharge at a station you could refill it in seconds.
The power fluid could be produced in any standard assembler, but it is always uncharged. Before using it, you have to charge it, using a fluid battery. The fluid could be conveyed to every conveyor even the small ship ones.

Just like a vanilla battery the fluid battery could not solve your generell energy problems, but it makes renewable energy transportable and available were and when you need it.

The fluid battery supports the same charge modes as the vanilla battery (Auto, Recharge, Discharge), but has some additional options:

• Auto refill: If switched on this battery tries to refill itself by pulling charged fluid from grid and pushing empty fluid out.
  
• Recharger Mode: If switched on this battery tries to recharge empty energie fluid by pulling empty fluid from grid and pushing charged fluid out.
  
• Push to/Pull from: In combination with Auto refill/Recharger Mode you could set a list of block or group names (could be mixed) separated by ';' controlling where to push/pull energy fluid to/from. If the list is empty or '*' any reachable inventory is checked (always excluding other fluid batteries, so no cannibalism between them).
  
• Use Conveyor: You could also switch on/off using the the conveyor system.

With these options the fluid battery supports full automatic refilling and a full automatic fluid recharger out of the box (no scripting or external inventory manager is needed).

You could combine the options with the charge mode to adjust it to you current energy configuration:



Hope you enjoy the mod,

and always remember Nuclear power, no thank you


For a 'normal' player the fluid battery behaves 100% as a vanilla battery.
For scripts there is a small but importand difference! As the game code for vanilla batteries does not support conveyor connections, the fluid battery is derived from vanilla reactor!
So scipts might not detect the fluid battery as battery. To support the fluid battery the script needs to do some additional actions. For details please see the pinned discussion "Scripting support" (Will be availabel soon).
