Power Cells

Power Cells are one of the power sources in Astroneer.

Description
Power Cells are a basic power source similar to the Battery.

The main difference being that once created the Power Cells are full of power and do not need to be charged, nor can they be charged like the Battery.

Crafting
Once you have acquired the research and learned "Power Cells" you will be able to construct them via your BackPack's 3d Printer with one Compound.

Usage
Power cells is actually a set of 8 cells that contains 2 units of power each (total of 16 units or the equivalent of 4 bars (need confirmation !)).

Whenever your character is consuming power, it will drain the Power Cells first. Once the Power Cells have been depleted they will be consumed.

Power Cells are an easy way to supplement power when you have a surplus of Compound.

Alternatively, the Power Cells can be added to any open slot on your base. So long as you are tethered to the base via Tethers you will utilize the Power Cells power supply before your own.
