Got the idea from Tremors, of course



Made with Blender / Cycles renderer. Was kind of bored today, had a few hours to spare. I think I'm getting the hang of this

Is there a problem? O.o

Hello all. I just realized how much I miss proper vB/phpBB forums...

data:extend{{
type = 'electric-energy-interface',
name = 'hand-crank',
icon = '__base__/graphics/icons/accumulator.png',
icon_size ...

Please add support for blueprints and re-configuration. Having to reconfigure a bazillion force field walls makes this mod a tease since it's very fun but kind of unusable.
