Remove battery explosion?

[Inzann]

Is there any mod that removes the event that causes battery to explode? I can't figure out how to use them without them exploding on me. :/

If you mean the shortcircuit event, then look in the core mod in the folder incidentdefs in the file baseincidents, It lives in there, setting chance to 0 it will stop the event, I would not recommend editing the core files however, it shouldnt be too hard to throw a mod together though. Make base mod, copy folder and file into it set chance to 0, enable mod..voila!

Batteries will short-circuit in the rain if there is no roof overhead.  That's the other possibility.

That stuffs in DLL, no easy way to stop that bar overriding the DLL with that logic removed. (which is actually quite easy but not beginner level)

I think marvinkosh just said "Build your batteries under a roof!"

I believe that short circuit in rain is controlled by tag "startElectricalFires" in ThingsDef xml.
