Display MoreIntroducing Charging Chests!
These work just like the charge pads just they charge every IC2 item inside them!
These charge much slower, but they charge every item inside them at the same rate (Provided they have power)
It also shows a space for upgrades and fields but there is no slot for projectors (for obvious reasons) and items to power it as explained below. Certain fields may also not work.
They will also draw energy from any energy storage ITEMS with power inside them if they are out of power. However if they have enough power from external sources they will charge the crystals instead. This is why there is no slot to charge with items.
These work like normal chests for regular items, however each tier does not give extra space.
The bottom row (Highlighted with red) will not draw power for anything placed in there. This is useful as it allows you to put energy storage items in there to be charged without having to worry about it drawing power from them.
They also store 25% more power than a pad of the same tier due to the storage of the wires and circuits and the extra energy from the previous version. Note this is 25% of the storage amount of the same tiered pad, not 25% of the previous tier of chest.
Crafting- Upgrade kits also work.
Tier 1
Tier 2
Tier 3
Example chest layout- (Although the energy bar is smaller it still stores more energy)
I think thats a awesome idea, however, I think 2 times insulated Gold Wire is better for that Recipe.
