Ion Cube Generator Reborn

Ion Generator Reborn

Automate Ion Cube production using base power. A lore-friendly, Nautilus-powered successor to the classic Ion Cube Generator mod.

You finally get down to the precursor Thermal Plant, cracked the data terminal in the Alien Thermal Plant, but find manually farming cubes is a chore and restricted to either a trip to the bottom of the map or to the Quarantine Enforcement Platform to portal back to the Primary Containment Facility to return to the one, slow-drip source of them on the map, you have the data, you have the scans of how the thing works... why not try to build one yourself? This mod introduces the Ion Decompressor, a specialized interior habitat module that reverse-engineers Precursor technology to slowly compress raw base power into synthetic Ion Cubes.

Built as a lightweight, modern successor to the defunct Ion Cube Generator mod no longer on the Nexus, this machine repurposes the Modification Station chassis to get the job done.

How It Works

• []Adjustable Power Draw: Click the machine's crafting pad to cycle its power consumption (0, 5, 10, 15, or 20 units per second). Set it to 0 to turn the machine off.[/]

  []Fair and balanced: Each cube takes 600 power units to craft, balanced around the vanilla Ion Battery + 100u to replicate not-fully-understood alien technology.[/]

  []Automated Storage: The machine features an internal 4x4 (16 slots) storage grid. Click the lower base of the machine to open the locker. If the storage is full, the machine automatically pauses production.[/]

  []Immersive Animations: When powered, the arms unfold and the machine hums. A cube slowly grows on the pad as power is consumed. Once complete, the lasers fire to deconstruct the cube and deposit it safely into the internal storage.[/]

  []Savegame compatible: Both in terms of adding to a new game as well as saving progress to next cube and any previously-set draw rate. What you save the game at is what you come back to, just as any vanilla machine.[/]

To keep the game balanced, you cannot build this at the start of a playthrough.

• []Unlock Condition: The blueprint is automatically unlocked the moment you acquire the Ion Battery blueprint (typically found in the primary alien facilities).[/]
