Description:
What is this?

This mod adds a tiny, small, medium and large power storages.
These capacitor storages are cheap and cannot be overclocked, prices vary but are reasonable.

Features

Crew can take any size battery out of these storages, upto a full row! This mod essentially has Take what You Need Meltdown Version incorporated for these storage capacitors only. No extra mod compatibility work required (you would still need TWYN for other storages/reactors)

All storages are a sub-category of the vanilla capacitor in the editor.
All storages are whitelisted for use in Build and Battle mode.

Floor (Tiny) Capacitor

This small 1×1 power storage holds up to 6 batteries and crew can remove 1-2 at a time.
They can merge and blend with the corridor parts. (Walls and doors not required)
Crew passing over them will move slightly slower at 75% speed
You can not place a tiny storage within 3 tiles of another tiny storage to prevent spamming them …
They are available from game start.
Costs: 10x Steel, 10x Coil

Small Capacitor

This is a 2×2 capacitor. Essentially a clone of the vanilla capacitor that cannot be overclocked.
Holds 18 batteries and crew can remove 1-3 batteries at a time.
They are available from game start.
Costs: 20x Steel, 20x Coil
(Vanilla for comparison: holds 18 batteries/24 overclocked … Costs: 32x steel, 22x Coil)

Medium Capacitor

This is a 3×3 capacitor.
Holds 36 batteries and crew can remove 1-4 batteries at a time.
They will require 1000 credits and purchase of Medium Reactors in career mode.
Costs: 50x Steel, 50x Coils

Large Capacitor

This is a 4×4 capacitor.
Holds 72 batteries and crew can remove 1-6 batteries at a time … yes 6!
They will require 2000 credits and purchase of Large Reactors in career mode.
Costs: 60x steel, 30x HyperCoils

Other Notes

Yes you read that correctly, the large can let crew carry up to 6 batteries at once.

The mod adds sprites for battery levels 5 and 6.

This may cause issues with other mods that add new batteries such as;
Leviathan Boss
Jani’s Shipyard (Leviathan Compatibility)
Tiered batteries

~~ Confirmed working post MELTDOWN update 0.30 ~~

No overclocking, but honesty did battery storages really need that?

Credits

The mod was heavily inspired by Braste84‘s More Power Storages and the Career mode plugin for it.
All art assets have been kit-bashed from base game resources and painstakingly recreated with respect to the above mod (which sadly broke in meltdown with the overclocked vanilla asset)
