Vanilla power generation is somewhat lackluster late game - Not only the game strongly encourages the use of solar panels and wind turbines as they provide significantly more energy at the cost of no fuel, but it also stops there - there is no technological progression in regards to power. Whether you’re an early industrial colony, or a spacer super-empire (and we all like to roleplay different ways), you’re bound to use the same power sources.

Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Power module adds a plethora of new power sources, ranging all the way from small portable generators and large scale industrial ones, all the way to advanced spacer-tech green energy sources and a unique, and yet easy to understand nuclear generator. A selection of new batteries will help you with storing the power.

Don’t wait any longer, enjoy a brand new mod from your favourite modding team and let us know what you think about it! From the internal tests the mod is reasonably balanced in-line with vanilla power generation, but any feedback is greatly appreciated!



If any pieces of furniture disappear upon being built, move the mod further up the mod queue.

You can put conduit over pipe but not pipe over conduit. Simply deconstructing and reconstructing fixes it up.

A: Absolutely, leave a comment down below!

Q: Do I need the base module for it to work?
A: No, our goal has always been zero dependencies. You don’t need anything for this mod to work except the VE Framework

A: We use vanilla toxic buildup system for the radiation, meaning any item that reduces toxic sensitivity will help if you suffer nuclear meltdown. Vanilla Armor Expanded adds HAZMAT suits and gas masks if you’re looking to shop locally.

The mods are repacked as is, without any additional software, malware, or bloatware added. To check for viruses, use a reliable antivirus or upload the archive to a website like virustotal.com. Anyway, It's always a good practice to keep backups of your saves in case of mod incompatibility .
