OCB Electricity Overhaul (V2.X)

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

This mod changes a lot regarding electricity, so chances are high, beside

extensive testing, that I messed up at some point. Until further testing is

done by early adopters (basically you, if you are really reading this). I have

refactored the code in order to drop the previous BepInEx requirement.

This should make it better encapsulated and easier to install/use, but it

also has a good chance that I messed up stuff that was previously working.

MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SAVES BEFORE

USING THIS MOD! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

This mod is probably incompatible with anything else that is touching electricity!

Also this mod is not EAC compatible, so you need to turn EAC off!

Should also work for multiplayer, but hasn't been tested that well yet.

Main features

• []Power sources can be connected like every other power item

  []Power can be taken from any upstream power source

  []Prioritize renewable energy before using gasoline

  []Additional grid demand/supply and charge statistics

  []Batteries are all charged/discharged when in a bank

  []Solar power gradually fades in and out at dawn and dusk

  []Decide from which upstream power types to charge batteries

  Additional electricity mods

  These mods are all additional mods that have been tested with this mod.

  But they also work on their own. Therefore pick the ones you like and

  install them additionally to the Electricity Overhaul mod.

    Vanilla Map Loading

    With version 2. 0. 0, vanilla maps are automatically detected and "upgraded" with default values,

    as e.g. Battery Banks get some additional individual options to define what power source should

    be able to re-charge them (by default, only renewable energy is used to charge batteries).

    Once the save files are written again, these options will then be persisted in the save.

    Probably a good time to make a backup, in case you need to revert to the vanilla state!

    Power distribution logic

    Distribution of power always starts at a root power source, one that doesn't have any further power source connected upstream. From there

    the power is distributed to all local power consumers connected to that power source. Those will then try to take their required power from all connected u
