Adds concentrated solar energy based around heliostat mirrors, which can point at solar power towers to generate heat for heliothermal energy production, or solar lens towers to generate giant lasers.
I looked into how much heat solar power towers actually provide and it's pretty much 10% of what the tooltip claims.
I set up a power tower in a test world with permanent day and heat pipe and exchangers and enough radar and turbines to consume the heat.
I get 0.22 MW per mirror, while the tooltip claims 2.2 MW. I think 0.22 is quite low as a max power and 2.2 is a bit high. I think about 0.5-1 MW would be good.
Not sure I understand what tooltip this is. The tower is supposed to do about 60MW max if I remember but each individual mirror should be 110KW. That is relatively balanced against the 60KW solar panel, bumping that to 500KW would be way too powerful.
Yeah, I think something is bugged. The current output when you click on the tower will show something like 550Mw when it is really 55Mw of output. Once you know what is happening then it's not really an issue, but it would be confusing for new users of the mod.
