Electric Pod Launchers
This mod adds drop pod launchers that can be charged with electricity.
Electric pod launchers are more energy efficient than normal launchers and can be charged without using chemfuel. These benefits come with trade-offs: increased construction cost, electricity infrastructure needed to charge, the risk of breakdowns, and the time taken to charge.
Details:
• Can be constructed once batteries and transport pods are researched.
• Requires 50 steel and 3 components to make.
• The power used by the launcher can be changed, changing the rate at which it is charged.
• At full power usage (3600 W) takes about two days to charge fully.
• About 5 times more efficient than a standard launcher, in terms of chemfuel used when powered with a chemfuel generator.
Compatibilities:
• Reuse Pods
Electric pod launchers will receive drop pods if Reuse Pods is in use.
