Hi

From the get go it seemed for me that flat solar panes would act as floor tiles. They don't.

Also I supposed that wind generators will give constant power output like 1st tier rusty generators. 2nd tier is mentioned to have higher power output, but in fact it has not only lower average power output, but it is fluctuating. That isn't even mentioned in the description (in russian translation at least).

Hey,
I understand your point with the misleading name, I think I will rename the panel in the future.
FYI: The flat solar panel is not intended to act as a floor tile, so this won't be changed.

About the wind turbines:
- The power output should not fluctuate as long as the energy is being used constantly, I will take a look at that.
- Same goes for the average power output, maybe you can join my discord server and provide me with more information about this one.
- Since this isn't intended, it's correct that it's not mentioned in the description.

I'm currently running custom mod build with 120+ mods and there is one structure that consumes up to 110Mw (Cell Charger from Power Cells mod) so power usage is quite constant since early game.

As for solar floor tiles... maybe it is worth considering to make them as new addition?

BTW I graduated as an electrotechnical engineer (bachelor degree) and also I am native russian language speaker and I played Factorio itself for 2100+ hours on Steam. My playstyle usually revolves around small scale custom solutions (not main bus, cityblock ect megabases)

So I could provide some playtesting, suggestions and feedback.
See you on discord)
