✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Configurable power and storage multipliers let you tailor the mod to your playstyle.
- Recent update (June 2026) means it's likely compatible with current game versions.
- Solid community backing with 112 endorsements and 8.7k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Description cuts off mid-sentence, leaving some details unclear.
- Only adds one building—may not be enough for players wanting broader content.
- Requires BepInEx, which adds an extra setup step for modding newcomers.
For players who want a straightforward energy upgrade without overhauling the game. If you're tired of thermal plants capping your power, this gives a clear, configurable boost. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or want more than a single building addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure BepInEx is installed correctly before adding this mod, as it won't work without it.
- Check the config file after first launch to adjust the power and storage multipliers to your liking.
- If you're using other mods that alter power generation, test for conflicts in a new save first.
