Request: Mod to boost Armor Batteries/Solar Panels

[Peter34]

Hi

As per this thread:
https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 16&t=10288

...there seems to be some consensus that the options for powering Modular Armour and Power Armor, prior to Fusion, are poor.

I'd really appreciate seeting a mod that does these three things:

1. Triples the capacity of Battery MkI from 1 kJ to 3kJ.
2. Doubles the capacity of Battery Mk II from 5 kJ to 10 kJ.
3. Increases the power generated by Armor suit Solar Panels by 50%, from 10 watt to 15 watt.

I think those are modest and reasonable changes that will improve the game, I imagine they're very simple to do for an experienced mod maker (altering the stats of existing items), and will probably prove quite popular.

Anyone?

Not technically a mod but...
If you replace the file at Factorio\data\base\prototypes\equipment
in your installation folder then the game should work as requested

I'll look into making this a mod at some point

EDIT: Apparently we can't upload lua files to the forum open it in notepad etc and change it to this:

The problem is, I'm not really comfortable hacking the game files in the non-mod folders, and also I'd mainly like this to work in MP games. So I hope you'll make the mod!
