Introduction[ | ]
The Battery Pack is the sole means of storing electrical power to be utilized from dusk 'til dawn. It must supply power to critical facilities from 18:30 to 06:30 (6:30 PM to 6:30 AM).
Building[ | ]
It requires unlocking via the Tech Tree (Electricity: Lithium-Ion Batteries). Once unlocked, Place the blueprint from your tablet into the position required. Once placed, use the Blowtorch to complete the build.
Power[ | ]
Once built, the battery has a base storage capacity of 180 kWh. Power to be stored or delivered to the load is brought into the battery via the power input (yellow port). The power output (blue port) is used to connect to a load or loads (if a Transformer is used). These interconnection are done with Electrical Cable. The battery can only deliver power to its output as high as its current state of charge.
They can be improved to store more energy with tech from the Electricity Tech Tree.
Each tech unlock increases storage capacity by 10% and 15% of base (180 kWh / 198 kWh / 225 kWh) respectively.
Additionally, Battery Packs can be expanded up to five times with the Battery Pack Upgrade.
Damage[ | ]
The Battery Pack can be damaged in adverse weather conditions. The 2 main types of damage are:
- External Damage - This can be fixed using the Blowtorch
- Internal Damage - This is damage to the circuit board. To fix this, extract the circuit board from underneath the screen and repair at the Workbench (or replace the circuit board)
