Spaceship Solar Hull

Description
Adds solar-powered hull sections for spaceships in the Odyssey DLC. These hull pieces combine the structural protection of ship hull with integrated solar panels, allowing your spaceship to generate clean energy.

Key Features:
• Solar Hull - Standard hull with integrated solar panels
• Functions as both ship hull and power generator
• Generates 400W of solar power during daylight
• Compatible with all spaceship designs
• Efficient power solution for space exploration

Perfect for creating self-sufficient exploration vessels, research ships, or orbital stations. Each solar hull provides the same structural benefits as regular hull while generating power for your spacecraft.

Requires Odyssey DLC to function properly.

3 components per wall section seems quite excessive, given the same components used for an entire vanilla solar panel producing much more energy. 1 would be much more manageable. Otherwise, lots of fun using this one :D

Sadly this and the other hull don't connect diagonally like standard Odyssey hulls.

Love the mod man, well done. Only issue is it's not working at night, batteries are storing but the walls are not carrying the current? I have wall turrets and high power mods as well. IDK if that is conflicting thanks Kush.

can you implement the corner connecting like normal hull does, I havent seen anyone else use that corner code yet

Neat idea! Re: balance, the vanilla solar generator provides 1700 W at 100% light level, and occupies 16 tiles. Acc to your description, your solar hull is a dual purpose structure AND generates 4X more power per tile than the dedicated solar generator.

100 W per hull section would bring this back to par with the dedicated solar generator. The dual functionality could be balanced with either lower hit points for the solar hull (compared to vanilla ship hull), and/or less power per hull section (anything from 50 W to 75W per hull section).

If you prefer the solar hull to be a straight upgrade, then this doesn't apply ofc!

are they stuffable?

It is a custom solar script. yes, i mean the theory is that the solar wall and solar you see on the wall is at the roof of the ship. but yes it works fully like a normal solar panel.

So it works even with a roof on top?

patched

patch coming asap for correct solar power
