Mechanoid Power Mod

The Mechanoid Power Mod adds a powerful late-game energy source to RimWorld by introducing the Mechanoid Power Source and the rare Mechanoid Power Cell. This self-sufficient generator is obtained through crashed ship part incidents and provides a high-output passive power solution for advanced colonies.
