✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 340 endorsements and over 15k downloads.
- Fills a niche gap—no more swapping power cells on the Prawn.
- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires BepInEx, which is an extra dependency for players not already using it.
- Solar charging only works when the Prawn is near the surface, so deep-dive utility is limited.
For Subnautica players who use the Prawn suit frequently and want a convenient way to recharge it without crafting extra power cells. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or don't want to install BepInEx.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install BepInEx first, then drop the mod files into the BepInEx/plugins folder.
- Make sure your game version matches the mod's compatibility—check the mod page for any notes.
- Test the charger in shallow waters to see the solar recharge rate.
