Batteries

A mod that adds battery items to the game that can be found on any moon. Batteries can be used on any battery powered item to recharge it at the cost of consuming the battery. Simply hold the item you wish to recharge in your hand and press the use battery keybind (C). If you wish, you can also sell batteries as scrap.

Certain properties can be modified using the configuration file such as how much batteries recharge items or how much batteries are worth. By default batteries are fairly common and will only recharge items by 25%. You can also configure gameplay elements like whether batteries spawn naturally, are purchasable, or disabling the charging coil entirely.

To install the mod manually (outside Thunderstore) put the "batteries" and "Batteries.dll" file inside a folder called Batteries (or whatever you want to name it) under the BepInEx/plugins directory.

A big thanks to TrevTastic for providing the model and texture.

Batteries [1.1.0]

• Batteries now spawn outside of the scrap pool and work just like keys
  • Added config value batteryMaxSpawns which determines the maximum number of batteries that can spawn per moon
  • The spawning system currently generates a random number from 1-150 batteryMaxSpawns times and if batteryRarity is greater or equal it spawns
  • Feel free to let me know if this should be tweaked or given more configurability on Discord
• Revamped the entire use battery system to support controller and VR thanks to DaXcess
