Effectively our current implementation is as 1:500 batteries. I'm considering the following revised implementation:\r\n\r\n* `plutonium` is contained in `plutonium cells` which are non-craftable and relatively rare\r\n* cells cannot be reloaded nor their contents transferred between cells\r\n* considerably better energy density than `battery`\r\n* once activated a cell begins to discharge at a consistent rate independent of any tool usage\r\n* items with variable power (especially `minireactor`) may use multiple cells in parallel\r\n* cells continue to leak radiation when damaged\r\n\r\nThe intended balance point is as an energy-dense replacement for batteries offset by their limited shelf-life once activated. Would allow for some very powerful vehicle mounted weapons balanced by the requirement to activate a large number of plutonium cells which may then otherwise go to waste."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/comments/224327568","html_url":"https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/17086#issuecomment-224327568","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/17086","id":224327568,"user":{"login":"kevingranade","id":860276,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/860276?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade","html_url":"https://github.com/kevingranade","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kevingranade/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-07T15:59:57Z","updated_at":"2016-06-07T15:59:57Z","body":"The use case you're talking about is covered by the \"atomic\" items of\nvarious kinds.\nPlutonium cells are being used in some kind of super-science application\nthat somehow extracts something between \"reactor\" and \"passive decay\"\nlevels of power.\nWhich reminds me, I always wanted to have all the super science stuff\nlabelled as such so it can easily be turned off.\n\nI'd like Plutonium cells to be differentiated by being required by exotic\ngear that can't be replaced by conventional means, examples include Power\narmor, big energy weapons, big robots, and the ever popular plot device.\nE.g. a mission requires using a platinum cell to restart a facility that\ncan afterwards provide some kind of irreplaceable services.\n"}}
