 :<li>FWIW I don't think becoming tech scannable or EMPable is worth highlighting; it's not clear to me that there's a case where <code>ModOverloaded</code> could be applied where those weren't already the case.</li>
 :<li>Also FWIW, the original line for that message is <code>Messaging.XDidY(Object, "overheat", terminalPunctuation: "!", SubjectPossessedBy: who, UseVisibilityOf: who);</code>.  What the decompiler is doing to it is pretty hideous. --[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] ([[User talk:Chaos|talk]]) 03:30, 2 August 2021 (UTC)</li>
+== More Notes ==
+Looking at the decompilation, it seems like the only material effect of Overloaded is adding 300 to the power load level of the object:
+<pre>
+public override bool HandleEvent(GetPowerLoadLevelEvent E)
+    {
+      E.Level += 300;
+      return base.HandleEvent(E);
+    }
+</pre>
+GameObject has a method GetPowerLoadLevel(), which just calls GetPowerLoadLevelEvent.GetFor with Level empty, as seen below:
+<pre>
+ public static int GetFor(GameObject Object, int Level = 100)
+    {
+      bool flag = true;
+      if (flag && GameObject.validate(ref Object) && Object.HasRegisteredEvent("GetPowerLoadLevel"))
+      {
+        Event E = Event.New("GetPowerLoadLevel");
+        E.SetParameter(nameof (Object), (object) Object);
+        E.SetParameter(nameof (Level), Level);
+        flag = Object.FireEvent(E);
+        Level = E.GetIntParameter(nameof (Level));
+      }
+      if (flag && GameObject.validate(ref Object) && Object.WantEvent(GetPowerLoadLevelEvent.ID, MinEvent.CascadeLevel))
+      {
+        GetPowerLoadLevelEvent E = GetPowerLoadLevelEvent.FromPool();
+        E.Object = Object;
+        E.Level = Level;
+        Object.HandleEvent<GetPowerLoadLevelEvent>(E);
+        Level = E.Level;
+      }
+      return Level;
+    }
+  }
+</pre>
+So the default power load level is 100, meaning Overloaded multiplies it by 4 (I can't find anything that calls GetFor with anything other than the default Level). This mostly just multiplies charge usage by 4 (though I haven't verified this in general, it's the case everywhere I've checked). It seems like most things that use it go through <code>XRL.World.IComponent</code>'s MyPowerLoadBonus(), which gives a bonus of (Load - Baseline)/Divisor, with Baseline being default 100 and Divisor being default 150. So the default for a power load level of 400 gives a bonus of 2. The bonus seems to be usually additive (added to radius of light sources, strength of reality stabilization, and I cannot for the life of me decipher the missile weapon damage adjustment code but it <i>looks</i> like it adds to that as well, and empirically it seems to add 2 to the damage roll). It gets more complicated for stuff like gas generation (seems to add 30% to density?) and so on.
