The cordless drill battery requirement is off when trying to install 60L tank in a vehicle

Describe the bug

The cordless drill battery requirement is off when trying to install 60L tank in a vehicle. The drill takes batteries with only 56/56 max charge, but installing 60L tank requires 100 charge.

Attach save file

Mount Baldy-trimmed.tar.gz

Steps to reproduce

  1. Load the attached game save
  2. Install the 60L tank
  3. Can't

Expected behavior

Require a lesser power requirement for the cordless drill when installing parts such as the 60L tank. I doubt if it requires that much power when using the tool is only sporadic. Or don't make the cordless drill an option at all.

The light, medium, and heavy battery mods fix this issue. Because its cordless, it takes medium batteries (56 charge). if you upgrade it to take a heavy battery by making the mod, and activating the mod, you can install it in the drill to make it accept only heavy batteries (259 battery). Alternatively, you can find a corded drill and plug it into a vehicle with extension cords, or your base power. image

That power requirement still seems absurdly high, the required work for attaching a tank like this would be drilling through 1/4 - 1/2 inch steel frame up to a maximum of 8 times then tightening bolts down. My mid-tier cordless dewalt drill with a standard 6ah battery would be able to do this work 20 to 30 times before needing a recharge as long as it has the correct bits.
