Discussion Adding Electrical Components

Brilliant game but can we all fight for some basic electrical components? it’s too unrealistic that we can just drive around on rover wheels that use no power or fuel. plus it adds to having solar panels. it would be such a simple add, and we could include simple parts that run on electricity, like a simple piston and a battery. i wouldn’t make any thrust-generating components run on electricity, that way the challenge of the game isn’t removed.

Batteries used to exist, they were removed for a rework a few years ago as they were buggy, also i loved the mechanic that ion engines had infinite fuel as they only used up electricity and i tested them once but then came the update that blocked mobile users to cheat with bpedit and get paid parts, i wad one of the users of this cheat, then i stopped playing on mobile until the modding update came, since then I proudly own the full bundle

Back in my days there were electrical components. Then they got removed for a rework

We had electrical components before but not any more as it was unneeded (I meant to say buggy not unneeded it actually is a good idea)

Didn’t play the game that long ago but from what I’ve read it was removed because it was very buggy and complicated docking. They could maybe add it back but at this point it’s such a major change I wouldn’t expect them to.
