A high-capacity late-game energy storage solution for Factorio 2.0 (Space Age). This mod introduces a massive 3x3 flywheel accumulator designed to handle the extreme power demands of interstellar factories.
- Massive Capacity: Stores up to 10 Gigajoules (GJ) of energy.
- High Power Flow: Supports 100 Megawatts (MW) of input and output power.
- Full Circuit Support: Seamlessly integrate with your power management systems.
- Configurable Energy Decay: Simulates real-world mechanical friction and air resistance (self-discharge).
To reflect the physical reality of flywheel storage, KESS units experience a gradual loss of energy over time (Internal Leak).
- Default Rate: 0.5% of total capacity lost per hour.
- Shadow Drain: Implemented using a high-performance "shadow proxy" system that ensures perfectly smooth power graphs and zero UPS impact.
- Configurable: Both the feature toggle and the decay rate can be adjusted in the Startup Mod Settings.
- 5000x Steel Plate
- 2000x Copper Plate
- 100x Electric Engine Unit
- 100x Advanced Circuit
- 100x Carbon Fiber
