Recyclable Batteries

This mod restores the ability to retrieve power cells from vanilla batteries (pre-01.105). When enabled, grinding any vanilla battery (large or small) will yield all components included in the battery, including power cells. Scrap metal will not replace power cells during grinding. Also, vanilla batteries will still construct with the initial 30% charge introduced in v.01.105. If there are any issues, please comment and let me know, and I'll see what I can do. Thank you and enjoy!

My mod also now covers the reskinned batteries included with the Warfare 2 "Broadside" DLC. Please note that the DLC is NOT required to use the mod! While you obviously won't be able to build any of the Warfare 2 batteries unless you have the DLC, you should be able to salvage power cells from any that your friends built, just as you would the regular batteries.

NOTE: Don't know why I didn't mention this originally, but I cannot guarantee this mod will work with other battery block mods. If you're trying to use a mod that changes the vanilla battery definitions, they will conflict (and whichever mod is higher priority will overwrite the changes of the other). If you're using a mod that adds new batteries without touching the vanilla ones, you shouldn't have any problems; however, this mod will not apply to anything other than the vanilla batteries, and I do not plan on providing such functionality.

NOTE - Contact Update: New Prototech Blocks were introduced in the Contact Update, including Prototech Batteries. The idea behind these blocks is that you need to merge them with your grids, rather than deconstructing and then reconstructing them on the new grid; because of this, my mod will NOT modify the Prototech Batteries, as I feel that would upset the balancing of these new blocks much more than the current changes I have made to regular batteries. I do not plan on including these batteries going forward, so if you want to be able to salvage Prototech Batteries or other such blocks, please look for another mod.
