Kinetic Energy Storage System (KESS)

License Factorio Version

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.

Features

  • 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).

Energy Decay Mechanic

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.

Crafting Requirements

  • 5000x Steel Plate
  • 2000x Copper Plate
  • 100x Electric Engine Unit
  • 100x Advanced Circuit
  • 100x Carbon Fiber
