[SYR] Metallic Batteries Mod

Author of the [SYR] Metallic Batteries Mod: mlie

Metallic Batteries Mod Mod updates Syrchaliss’ mod and adds multiple new batteries made from different metals, each with unique stats, costs, and special mechanics.

Seven new batteries are introduced, some of which require additional research. Each one offers different advantages in efficiency, capacity, durability, or special effects.

  • Steel battery: Vanilla-style battery with increased steel cost and higher capacity.
