📋 About This Mod
I noticed when searching for a mod that does what I've created here, I could only find mods that make fusion cores permanent.
Well I don't want to play like I'm a 5 year old, I just don't want to run from Concord to Sanctuary and have an empty core.
Choose between the various options; 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, 32x, and 1 in game year.
Makes PA cores feel worth the trouble.
I recommend this tweak to be used alongside the following mods.
Some Assembly Required - Makes PA more rare to find
paHUD - Makes the PA HUD cleaner
Power Armor Animation Changes - Faster enter/exit of PA
This Fallout 4 gameplay mod lets you adjust how fast Fusion Cores drain, giving you control over power armor longevity. With over 2,100 endorsements and nearly 100,000 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tweak for players who find default drain rates too punishing. Simple and effective.

For Fallout 4 players who love power armor but hate babysitting Fusion Cores. If you're tired of cores draining too fast during exploration or combat, this mod lets you tune the pace. Skip if you want more complex power armor mechanics or if you're on a mod setup that already alters core drain.
