Cheaper Solar Panels

A lightweight and simple mod that makes solar power more accessible in the early and mid-game. Contributing to a greener planet :D
The solar panel recipe becomes much cheaper, and you can adjust how many solar panels are crafted at once using a startup multiplier setting.
I also made the same mod for accumulators so check that out too.

Settings

Solar Panel Output Multiplier

Controls how many solar panels are crafted from a single crafting operation.
Helps reduce crafting spam and speeds up large solar builds without breaking game balance.

Why This Mod?

Solar power is reliable but slow to scale early game due to high resource costs.
This mod reduces grind and improves efficiency, making it ideal for large solar fields and megabases.
Use it to your liking and change the multiplier as you wish.
