Better Batteries is a mod that overhauls the built-in battery management system in Project Zomboid.
This mod is no longer supported, as it is rather old and buggy. I have moved onto other projects, apologies!
Features:
- Ability to remove dead batteries out of compatible electrical tools.
- Electrical equipment will maintain their belt / vest position on battery insertion.
- Highly customizable Hand Crank that recharges batteries.
- Global battery duration multiplier for battery-reliant tools.
- Full singleplayer and multiplayer support.
- Dynamic battery support system that (shouldn't) break unsupported mods.
- Built-in ignore system for dead / charged batteries for battery-reliant tools / hand cranks respectively.
- Full English and partial French + Spanish support. (Russian and current partial translations will hopefully be updated soon.)
Officially Supported Mods:
- Better Flashlights
- Lantern
- Monmouth County
- Sleeping Bags and Attachments
- Video Game Consoles
- Authentic Z
- Undead Survivor
Why use this?:
This mod was created with the intention of reducing the need for "battery stockpiles", whilst also providing a tool that those stuck with limited supplies could make convenient use of. Particularly helpful in dark worlds, low-energy worlds, or nomadic lifestyles. This system only functions to build upon Vanilla's functionality, and can be entirely disregarded if this isn't your cup of tea.
