This mod adds new electric parts. They're intended to fit in with the base game and to fill in some gaps. They can be useful for smaller vehicles such as drones, or simply for aesthetic reasons. I try to keep these parts as close to the base game as possible regarding art style and balance.
It should be safe to use these parts in your own (workshop) creations. Feel free to use them however you like. No credit is necessary, but a link to this mod's page is probably helpful for others to be able to use these parts in their own creations.
I plan to update this mod with more parts in the future. Suggestions are welcome!
This uses the new .bin mod format, so this should be compatible with multiplayer and workshop vehicles.

Everything is released to the public domain, so you can do whatever you'd like with it!

Half the size of a medium battery, holds the same charge, and it's lighter. However, it's a lot more expensive.
[b]Capacitor[/b]
Cheaper, smaller and lighter than a battery, but holds only a small amount of charge.
[b]Power Socket[/b]
A power socket which works like a cable anchor. Can be attached to flat surfaces, including paintable blocks. Useful for electric vehicles.

[b]Flat solar panel (1x1, 3x3, 5x5)[/b]
Performs about 10 times better than the stock solar panel. It's cheaper and lighter too.
Note: This needs a 9 block clearance above the solar panel, because the game calculates the charge rate using the voxel count of the part.
