I have everything turned all the way down. Except for a quarter of the way on tree meshes and the other tree option. I then also have fxaa for antialiasing. I get around 144fps when I'm not near outpost. I also use this launch option. Make sure to adjust the cores and threads. -high -gc.buffer 2048 -maxMem=14000 -malloc=system -force-feature-level-11-0 -cpuCount=20 -exThreads=40 -force-d3d11-no-singlethreaded
You can use a Nih Core with 1 battery, but they are meant to scale to higher power demands then 100. So this is why you would add more then 1 battery so you can increase your battery capacity as well as battery power amount when power generation is substandard or offline.
In this video where I show my base design off I have a chapter that shows how to build a 4 battery nih core. Its under the "Advanced Electricity Generation & Storage" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p6kGbca2pG0.html If you wanted to add more batteries you could just add more pairs and more combiners / splitters
