(0.13.4) MoPower 0.5.2

[ludsoe]

MoPower is a mod centered around power generation and storage. It has things such as giant steam engines/accumulators and implements wind turbines and nuclear reactors.

Download the mod, and extract its zips contents into your mods folder. If done properly you should end up with a second zip with the mod's version in its name.

Features

Nuclear Reactors: Ever wanted a clean power source? Well nuclear reactors are your friend! They are the cleanest and most powerful of all the green energy sources. But they require quite some setup and are slightly hazardous to your health.
Wind Turbines: Power your factory with the power of the wind! Just a warning. Like the green energy of the solar panels, wind power isn't very reliable for a primary power-source. (I recommend MoWeather alongside these.)
Burner Thermal Generator: Power your factory by burning coal and getting electricity directly from it! Save on space, by not using big bulky steam engines or water pipes.
Octo Accumulators: Basically Giant accumulators. Not much I can say.

Operation of Nuclear Reactors

First you mine the ore then, refine it into usable nuclear rods.
And with those rods you put them into your nuclear reactors along with water and out you get super-heated steam.
And with that steam you just send it to your steam engines.
You also get nuclear waste as a by product.

About how many steam engines can one nuclear reactor support?

bug new version factorio

bug new version factorio

getting the same here if i have ks power installed but works fine without


to the author could we maybe get a name change in the code so that it will work with ks power installed?

Hey there. Wanted to ask if the wind turbin is working? I set them up, they move a second and then stand still. And my biggest question they seem to not generate any energy? They working more like accumulators. If its intended, i'm okey with this but then its a bit "hard" to charge them if they have max. input of 0.

They never actually charge, try building one not linked to a power grid. If it gets energy then they are working.
There's a small bug where the energy gets taken out of them faster then the script can update it, so sometimes they appear to not work with high power demand.

Having an issue when placing the rector ;

[Kitsune]

I'm not that good on mods in factorio but that looks more an problem with dytech and not mopower. But i'm not 100% sure.

And you might just be right, however the mod is by mopower, not dytech, just to be safe I did post both places.

[Randonx]

Are Nuclear reactors the only way to successfully run these Octo Steam Engines? I can't ever seem to get much water into them. Any ideas for that?

[ludsoe]

They are meant to replace entire chains of engines. So in place of 8 normal steam engines you just use a single octo one.

hi, great to see this updated for 0.13.x,
I do have an issue with this one when loading it to an existing save(0.13.4) it prevents it from loading with an error.

Oh and something is going on with loading MoTransportation in an existing savegame too, I'll post the error image in that thread.

Thanks!

Seems some of the old migrations were misbehaving. I removed them for now, so Mopower should load.

Using version 0.5.2
The charging animation/texture for octo accumulators is off by about 1 square to the bottom right. When I place the accumulator it's fine, as soon as it starts charging it jumps to the bottom right, and when it's full it jumps back.

[Jorn86]

Found something else too. When I have wind turbines connected to my network (moWeather is not installed), accumulators don't charge any more at all. I was thinking to go green with solar + wind only, but apparently it's not possible

[GrandMasterK211]

idk if I'm just Shit out of luck but when I install the mopower mod says I need motoolbar and mo weather but when I try to use mo weather says I need motoolbar but I can not seem to find a motoolbar to even install it am I doing something wrong
