What does this mod do?
This mod adds an advanced accumulator. Research the technology for the advanced electric accumulator and then build it. You need to research the basic electric energy accumulator to get access to it.
Why?
A big factory with only solar panels needs hundreds of basic accumulators to store the energy created in the day. Building them is tedious and needs huge amounts of free space. The advanced accumulator saves 66% of this valuable space. Some other mods also contain better ways of storing energy, but they may have elements you don't want. This mod contains only the accumulator and nothing else.
The original version of Factorio doesn't contain any additional accumulator. As soon as this has changed, this mod is not needed anymore.
Should I use this mod?
Use the mod, if...
- you want to save some space while still using high amounts of solar energy.
- you already have a mod which integrates better accumulators or other kinds of energy generation without the need for accumulators.
