Starmade | Power supply beam (handheld) does not work any more - Unable to power systems on planets and asteroids without reactors
Confirmed task for development, NormalPublic

Description

Planets and asteroid in the old power system used to have enough power capacity so that a player could drop down a factory and build power blocks. even when they had no means to generate power. Without this ability, it was possible to get truly stuck in the game.

To restore this feature in the new power system, plaents/asteroids should generate some small amount of power (maybe 1 unit), so there is the possibility of a lone factory to produce a reactor module and allow a stranded player to construct a ship when they have no other gear.

Base issue:
Planets and asteroids had some power capacity in the past, they never generated that 1e/s, only shipcores did that.
However, the power supply beam as handheld does not work anymore to power a factory, as there is nothing like capacity in power 2.0 that could be externally filled by such a handheld beam. It could possibly help to allow it charge a single machine, not the whole structure, as a possible "top-off" charge could easily consume all the supplied energy by the beam.

Maybe instead of adding base power to planets ...
add a recipe for power and ship core to the inventory base Factory?

-Confirmed-

back in old power the generation was added to planets later on.
i do not think asteroids should provide power at all
