Biobot Charger

Revolutionize Your Biobot Management in Oxygen Not Included

Tired of your invaluable Biobots meeting an untimely end after just ten cycles? The default biofuel system, while functional, often leads to a constant cycle of deconstruction and replacement. This essential mod introduces a game-changing solution, allowing your Biobots to remain operational indefinitely and seamlessly integrate into your colony’s workflow.

The Power Bank Advantage

This mod introduces the concept of a swappable Power Bank, inspired by the mechanics of Flydos. Instead of relying solely on a finite biofuel reserve, Biobots can now utilize these Power Banks, which can be perpetually restocked by your Duplicants, Auto-Sweepers, and even other Biobots. This dramatically extends their lifespan and utility, transforming them from temporary assets into permanent fixtures in your oxygen-rich endeavors.

Intelligent Power Prioritization

The mod employs a smart power management system. Your Biobots will first attempt to draw power from a Power Bank placed in their designated slot. Only when this is depleted, or if no Power Bank is present, will they resort to their internal biofuel reserve. This biofuel reserve acts as a one-time emergency supply and will not be refilled by this mod. For a complete biofuel charging solution, consider integrating it with other compatible mods.

Configurable and Customizable

Take full control of your Biobot network with extensive configuration options. You can adjust the power consumption of each Biobot, allowing for infinite operation or even enabling a negative drain rate to charge Power Banks. Furthermore, customize which types of Power Banks newly constructed Biobots will request, choose whether they “expire” or simply park in place when all power sources are depleted, and enable notifications to alert you when a Biobot is running low on power.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Extended Biobot Lifespan: Overcome the 10-cycle deconstruction limit.
• Collaborative Restocking: Duplicants, Auto-Sweepers, and other Biobots can all supply Power Banks.
• Flexible Power Sources: Prioritizes Power Banks over finite biofuel reserves.
• Comprehensive Configuration: Adjust power draw, Power Bank preference, and behavior on depletion.
• Live Drain Rate Adjustments: Changes apply instantly to active Biobots.

This mod offers a significant quality-of-life improvement for any Oxygen Not Included player who relies on Biobots. Say goodbye to constant replacements and hello to a more efficient and sustainable robotic workforce!
