Solar Matrix


A 4x4 sci-fi looking solar panel with customizable color mask, power output and animated death sequence. Its quite fun to drive a tank through a row of them give it a try! When SolarMatrix is installed Accumulator-V2 will unlock with the Solar-Matrix tech if Paracelsin is not installed

g Actually worst ...

Even when the graphics are great, the overall benefit of the matrix is actually worst, here i show you the numbers:

  • Normal solar panel produces 60 kw.
  • Matrix solar panel produces 72kw.

  • The normal solar panel has a size of 3x3.

  • The matrix one has a size of 4x4.

If we find the amount of energy that each one produces per meter:

  • Normal -> 60kw/9tiles = 6.6666....
  • Matrix -> 72kw/16tiles = 4.5

By using the matrix solar panel, we are losing aprox 32.5% of energy output. A solution would obviously be increasing the output of the matrix. The minimum required to at least be the same of the normal panel would be aprox 106.6666....kw. If you want to adjust it in the same way of ur other mod (the accumulator v2), then you could set the output to 214kw, so it becomes x2 output relative to a normal one.

Agreed ill up it to 128 so an extra 20% power

I hope 1.0.5 is a solution for you

It is, thx man!

Can i modify the mod to my liking for my personal use?
I will code it like i said there because double storage for me it is a cheat on fulgora when there is no electricity in the beggining.

local accumulator_capacity = 6
local accumulator_in_out = 360

local base_iron = 3
local base_battery = 7

I changed the setting method you can select a value to try simplify it.

6400Kw/12 =533.33333333333Mj and the Acumulator V2 has max 500.
This Acumulator has maximum 500. so calculation on how to build this it is impossible... vanilla is 24 Solar Plant and 20 accumulator now this ones is ?

Solar Panel 60Kw / 12 = 5Mj Battery Energy.

normally 5 Solar matrix must have all togheter the maxim in and out of the battery.
Battery store max 30Mw and 5 Solar Matrix make 32Mw.

This must be though before you type numbers there to be easy to calculate blueprints for energy storage at night.

local accumulator_capacity = 6 is good along with vanilla calculation but we got 5 7 10 and no 6 :D

the extra multiplier for accumulator from 1.0.5 must remain in 1.0.6 but we cannot select any multypliers, because the math does not add up :(

This are the numbers for perfect power calculation, similar to vanilla.
I would`ve named the Accumulator with Accumulator Matrix or Matrix Accumulator.
