I wanted to remove the utility and battery mark 2 requirements (alongside tweaking the amount required), but it seems that there's no config options. Would be nice if some could be added.

Feels a bit useless to require utility science since you could just skip to a fusion reactor (especially in a modpack that would have other options).

Here's some ideas for config options if you ever add them:

• Powergen amount
• Recipe cost. Requiring 4 panels for only double the power is a bit annoying (although it does use a quarter of the space, but still)
• Science requirement (at minimum an option to remove the utility cost would be nice - and perhaps it could make the research cost 500 instead of 400)
• Research requirements. Having it just require the solar panel instead of mark 2 batteries and power armour would be nice.

We've had this balancing discussion before. It has its place and it's been made easier 2x already
sorry but I don't plan on changing anything about the mod

there
i also uploaded https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SolarPanelEquipmentMK3

noice, thanks. Didn't really expect them to be added lol, but i'm glad they're here. There's nothing like KubeJS for Factorio (that i can find, at least) - so i can't configure mods as much as i normally would in a modpack. Next best thing is to ask devs to add options for it lol.

would also be nice if the research names for both this and mark 3 were changed to match vanilla's (becoming "Portable solar panel Mk 2").

also noticed that both mods don't let you leave the extra research and science pack fields blank. Would be nice if you could do that for it to be ignored rather than having to add some text (I just entered "0" on them, but still). Also, they don't require the Processing Unit research despite requiring it in their recipes (would be nice if there was an option to change the mark 2 panel to only use advanced circuits).

Maybe I can let it decide which chips based on what science packs it ends up requiring

would be nice, yeah.

done

noice, thanks again.
