{{Info|The '''vanometric power cell''' is a [[Events#World incidents|World quest]] reward [[Power#Power generators|power generator]] that constantly provides 1000W for free and can be installed anywhere.}}

== Acquisition == 
Vanometric power cells cannot be constructed nor bought from [[trader]]s. Instead they can only be acquired as a reward for performing [[quests]]. Note that quest rewards are selected with a weighted random generator, so there is no way to guarantee access to any vanometric power cells in a given play-through. 

Anecdotally, it is often reported that the increased number of reward options added by the [[DLC]] dilute the reward pool with more options.

== Summary ==
Vanometric power cells provide a constant {{P|Power Consumption}}W of [[power]] without requiring refueling of any kind, or requiring any particular [[terrain]] or [[weather]]. They can also be freely uninstalled and reinstalled. [[Solar flare]]s and [[EMI dynamo]]s disable all electric devices, which prevents the vanometric power cell from functioning.

For comparison, a battery discharging at 1000 W would deplete in roughly {{#expr: 24*600/{{P|Power Consumption #}} }} in-game hours or {{Ticks|2500*24*600/{{P|Power Consumption #}} }}.

== Analysis ==
The vanometric power cell is free power, which is almost always useful. It's also portable and 100% reliable. You can use this item to power:
* High-priority equipment (such as base defenses or climate control) in case other power sources fail. 
* "Off-grid" equipment, such as [[deep drill]]s, without needing conduits.
* Turrets and other supplies when loaded into a [[caravan]] or [[transport pod]].

They can also be used for general power usage, as a hassle-free [[chemfuel generator]] / [[battery]]. Conversely, note that chemfuel generators and batteries can largely replace the function of the vanometric cell. The cell has the advantage of not taking colonist work to fuel.

In the endgame, you can build [[ship reactor]]s for same amount of power as the vanometric cell, with the same amount of consistency. The ship reactor costs {{Required Resources|Ship reactor}}. Note that the reactor also takes up much more space, cannot be moved, and cannot be placed over mountain.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.18.1722|0.18.1722]] - added.
* Beta 19 - The power output was buffed from 500W to 1000W
