Wireless Power

Send power around your base wirelessly, by the use of 3 unique buildings!

Ever wanted to provide power to various areas of your base without running wires everywhere?

This mod enables 3 distinct buildings to send, store and receive power from the Wireless Power Grid, providing balance options maximise usability.

• Adds 3 buildings to provide wirelessly accessible power: Wireless Battery, Sender & Receiver.
• Batteries are needed for the Wireless Power Grid to function. They store power and act much like the traditional batteries.
• Senders add power to batteries located on the same channel of the Wireless Power Grid. They act as power consumers on a local power circuit and send a configurable amount of power.
• Receivers take power from batteries located on the same channel of the Wireless Power Grid. They act as power generators on a local power circuit and take a configurable amount of power.
• Multiple Senders & Receivers can be located on the same channel, each interfacing dynamically with wireless Batteries on the same channel.
• Many Batteries can also be located on the same channel, energy can be taken/added to any which have the available power or capacity available.
• Grid capacity is determined by the amount of Batteries present on a channel. Each battery stores it’s own power, allowing you to change channels and prevse power.
• Power on the Wireless Power Grid is sent to the most full batteries first and is received from the least full batteries first. Senders & Receivers will (and often do) distribute their power needs to multiple batteries if one battery runs out/fills up.
• By default, these buildings aim to be (Slightly) balanced by using an Energy Falloff mechanic which causes a percentage of the transferred power to be lost. This value can be changed in the configuration file.
• These buildings are located in the Power building menu and require the "Low-Resistance Conductors" research to unlock.
• These buildings can also be customised in the configuration file for this mod, allowing custom intervals, capacity and material costs to be set.
• Buildings are also now built out of steel, this can be changed in the configuration file.
• Senders & Receivers display a Grid Transfer Threshold which denotes how full a battery must be to send/receive power.
• All buildings display their current connection and activity status in their screens and as various status cards.

Disclaimer: Images do not contain the new Grid Capacity status item and Grid Transfer Threshold UI option.

All of my mods can be found on the steam workshop here or alternatively they can be downloaded and source code can be viewed on my Github page[github.com].

Mod requests & issues can be reported on my Github[github.com] as following steam comments is often hard.

Huge thanks to the folks on the ONI Discord Server[discord.gg].
