Rover’s Recharger

Keep Your Rovers Rolling with Rover’s Recharger

In the challenging environment of a new colony, every Duplicant’s helper is vital. Your trusty Rovers, indispensable for exploration and resource gathering, rely on their chemical batteries to keep functioning. But what happens when those batteries run low, especially far from your main base? Introducing Rover’s Recharger, a mod designed to ensure your exploration efforts are never cut short by a drained power source.

Powering Up Your Explorers

The Rover’s Recharger is a new building that allows your Rovers to replenish their chemical batteries using a readily available resource: chemical fuel. This mod adds a crucial layer of sustainability to your remote operations, ensuring your Rovers can continue their vital tasks without constant supervision or lengthy returns to base.

Key features of Rover’s Recharger include:

• Automatic recharging: Rovers will only initiate a recharge when their battery level dips to a critical point, conserving fuel.
• Fuel source: Utilizes combustible liquid, which can be supplied via pipes or manually delivered by bottle.
• Building requirements: The building itself requires research into “Artificial Friends” to unlock and is constructed using Metal Ore and chemical fuel.
• Rover construction: Uniquely, Rovers themselves can construct this essential recharging station, allowing for decentralized power solutions.

Extended Range and Flexibility

This mod also introduces enhancements to the Rover’s Module. Now, a Rover’s Module can be equipped with enough fuel for three recharges. This fuel can be landed alongside the Rover on new planetoids. Upon disassembling the Rover’s Lander, the Rover can then construct a Recharger and transfer its stored fuel, establishing a self-sufficient outpost for continued exploration. Replenishing the Rover’s Module fuel reserves can be done manually with bottles or automatically with the Liquid Rocket Port Loader.

Customization for Your Colony

Understanding that every colony has unique needs, Rover’s Recharger offers configuration options. Within the game’s mod settings, you can fine-tune the recharge duration and the amount of fuel required. Furthermore, you have the flexibility to enable or disable the fuel-carrying capability of the Rover’s Module, allowing you to tailor the mod’s functionality to your specific playstyle and strategic objectives. Keep your Rovers powered and your exploration boundless with this essential addition to your Oxygen Not Included experience.
