Description

Adds versions of the coal and fuel generators that regulate power to match grid demand (IRL peaker units). Current coal and fuel generator behavior is to run at full power all the time - this mod lets you build generators that adjust their output just like they used to do pre Update 4.

These versions are unlocked with a new tier 4 and tier 6 milestone. Nuclear plants are untouched - this effectively makes them 'baseload' plants that run all the time.

I was sufficiently annoyed by the changes to power that I just made this mod for me to play with pre-U4 generators that modulate power.

Known issue: Generator smoke and animations are buggy/missing. Power generation and fuel consumption still works though. Still an issue as of U8.

Frequently Asked Questions

Peaker Power Plants not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Peaker Power Plants has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.

Peaker Power Plants causing crashes in multiplayer – solution

Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Peaker Power Plants v1.1.0 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is Peaker Power Plants compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

Peaker Power Plants uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
