Suggestion: Battery Input and Storage Space Upgrade.

FenixR · Jan 23rd 2012

(Yeah im cool suggesting things for stuff that have just been recently released)

Anyway, i just had the idea of adding these 2 simple upgrades for our machines:

Battery Input: Will allow to increase the Battery Tier our machine can handle, from Rechargeable Batterys > Energy Crystals > Lapotron. These upgrades are non stackable (Only 1 per slot), so if you want to go from Battery to Lapotron you need to use 2 spaces for it.

Storage Space (Input/Output): As the name implies, this upgrade will "Increase" or more like "Add" more storage for their respectives slots, Each Upgrade can be stacked to a maximum of 4 and will give 2 extra slots per upgrade. There also could be a mix upgrade that increase the slots from both input and output by 1 each per upgrade, maximum stack 4. (Maximum Storage per machine: 8 for input and 8 for output, extra upgrades will do nothing)

I may have more upgrades in mind, but im still waiting for Scumbag EE to update because i cant live without those alchemical bags QQ so i cant exactly play around with the new system.

You know, I expected the transformer upgrade to already allow the higher tier batteries. So I partly support that.
I support storage space upgrade, although it will likely be somewhat difficult to add.

Yep i knew implementing the second one would be difficult to add... Something about creating the space, but blocking it until a storage upgraded is detected sounds difficult to make since i havent seen anything in vainilla/mods that do so. Kinda like unexplored ground.

And the battery upgrade yeah, i see it as a necessity specially during mining expeditions where i dont like moving around with 2 transformers and the MFSU + Lapotron. Although the speed of the battery discharging into the machine should be dependant on how many transformers upgrades are already installed.

You shouldn't insulate him or you may get banned from his mod

OT: Battery input should just me merged with the transformer upgrade while the Storage space should stack to 64 like everything else(but lower the I/O caps to 4 and have 1 upgrade add 1 slot to input or output)

I still think the internet needs a sarcarsm detector *facepalm*

OT:No. My idea its making the User to Smartly chose which module he should install in his machine, not pave the way to have a Super modified Machine that does everything without much effort, unlike most people im a firm believer of game balance.
