Tiny solar panels

After hours of work, you've finally constructed the perfect assembly line. Beacons poke out among a complex network of underground belts, pipes move fluid between constantly working machinery and perfectly placed substations power everything. Suddenly, you spot it. A single tile, sitting idle. For a brief moment, your world falls apart; then you smugly fit a tiny solar panel into the hole, completing your masterpiece.

Content

A 1x1 solar panel balanced around the 3x3 Vanilla solar panel.

Currently features

The tiny solar panel can fit into any nook and cranny and is unlocked with the regular solar panel. Instead of many electronic circuits, the tiny solar panels use a few advanced circuits. Produces approximately 1/9th of the energy of a large solar panel, rounded down.

The solar panel is designed to be fit into the nooks and crannies of your factory or space platform, but you can also pave the whole planet with them.

It is unlocked with a standalone tech requiring solar panels and production science.

Graphics

Uses the solar panel icon from the base game and adds shadowing.

For modded solar panels, uses their recoloured base game sprites and custom icons.

For the Solar Matrix, Sacredanarchy has provided a custom 1x1 sprite!
