Solar Panel Factorio Mod

Start with one of three item kits to jump start your factorio experience.

Solar panel factorio mod.

1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages. Based on advanced electric mod but toned down. 3 heat storages based on molten salt technology. Solar panels size 13x13 cells capable of generating 1500 kw of electricity it is 25 times more than the vanilla option but the cost is 25 times higher.

Added 10x 100x and 1 000x solar panels and accumulator for better space management to craft you need. The kit can be selected in the mod config settings. Launch rocket with custom solar panel to recive power from space 18 days ago 1 0 825 power production. What adds the mod now.

Two more tiers of solar panels and accumulators. 4 thermal solar panels that produce heat instead of energy. Put the zip in your mods folder do not extract factorio mods description. 3 new steam turbines for mid game.

Batteries size 4x4 cells can accommodate 250 mj of energy which is also 50 more vanilla option but the cost is 50 times higher. Portable solar panels are the basic power generating units for modular armor and the spidertron they provide only a small amount of power and only during the daytime. During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. 0 15 0 18 downloaded.

Redid graphics and technology structure and costs. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.

3 new basic heat exchangers for mid game not intended for nuclear power use a cheaper thermal conduit for early game. This mod buffs the solar panels bob s offers 2x 4x or 8x increase each tier as well as removes the small large solar panels and slow fast high capacity accumulators so you can use all your normal solar blueprints in bob s mods this can be disabled. Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge energy shields out of combat but are nearly useless for personal laser defense or exoskeleton even with a large number of batteries. First tier is 5x power second tier 5x the first.

The optimal ratio is 0 84 21 25 accumulators per solar panel and 23 8 solar panels per megawatt required by your factory this ratio accounts for solar panels needed to charge the accumulators this means that you need 1 428 mw of production of solar panels and 100mj of storage to provide 1 mw of power over one day night cycle.
