As stated above, this mod adds a new misc item, 'Spent Fusion Cores', to the game. This item is pretty much self explanatory; when you use up a fusion core, you receive a spent fusion core. Spent Fusion Cores can be used at the new crafting station to create Fusion Cores, only there's a catch: to recharge a fusion core you need both a spent fusion core, and 100 charge units. Charge Units build up in the Fusion Reactor (recharging station) at a rate of 5 per hour (enough to recharge 1. 2 fusion cores a day!). The Fusion Reactor requires 100 power to do this, but does not need to be directly connected to the power grid. Just place it anywhere a lightbulb would light up, with enough power to light up a small town and you're good to go!
You can also drain existing Fusion Cores for energy. Say, if you have like 20 partially drained cores, you can drop em in the reactor and drain, then recharge them into however many fully charged fusion cores, ect. It should be pretty straight forward, really.
To charge Fusion cores, just drop your spent cores in the crafting station, exit the crafting station to trigger the menu, and select charge.
