Though with that, we would need Capacitor banks to store it instead.
Like if you have a couple solar panels, they'll provide power to your base, sure, but once they provide more power than the base uses, it would then start storing power in the Capacitors, which you could then draw power from whenever, even at night. Or have them ready to charge up your sub whenever you dock.
So, say you want to go on a long voyage, but don't want to use a lot of resources
You could set up power stations that charge up over a long time to temporarily dock your sub to juice it up. Then you continue on your sea adventure. And later, when you return, the power is already charged up again so you're good to go.
This guy had the idea! I've noticed something a bit lacking when it comes to power, no real way to actually store it for future use. Yeah, I can produce it for years, but a really good way to store power and save on GPU/CPU rather than blow up my computer by building 50 odd solar panels.
You guys could bring back the old generator model and use it as a capacitor bank to store power or recharge your depleted power cells it would take priority as a power draw over internal power storage of power generators like the nuclear reactor or the bio reactor, solar panels would lose their internal storage.
(or have it reduced to just 5 bits of power I have no idea what you guys call your power rating gigajoules? gigawatts? *shrugs*)
This capacitor would be an 1st tier structure available for immediate construction, and is empty upon build completion, but you can add depleted powercells to be recharged via a power generator. Also instead of fabricating fully fueled powercells and batteries we should be fabricating depleted or empty cells/batteries. (just makes more sense that way) so we can charge them with our first tier solar cells and proceed to build higher tier power generation methods from there.

Something in-game?
There is something called the accumulator that could be used for that. It stores power
Something in-game?
No, but it might be added
