I wonder if this also adds these alternatives to the Colorable solar panels from the Decorative Pack 3, if you do own the pack that is.

Hi Isy, the mod looks great. Are the weights of the solar panels also multiplied by the same ratios as the components or the output?
Godimas 1 Nov, 2024 @ 6:44am 
Fair enough, thanks!
Isy  [author] 1 Nov, 2024 @ 2:51am 
That's the game engine's fault.. Regular solar panels would also see the sun through the asteroid.. Nothing I can do about that..
Godimas 31 Oct, 2024 @ 4:36pm 
I have a few of these set up on an asteroid, and they seem to always be getting full sunlight... even when the sun isnt shining of them. Anyone else getting this same issue?
Isy  [author] 23 Oct, 2024 @ 11:46am 
Test it in singleplayer..
Syrius 21 Oct, 2024 @ 5:50pm 
Does anyone know if @The Dadinator's mod replaces this one or is installed alongside this one?
I don't want to install both on our server only to have to remove one because it's redundant.

thanks, i told isy and suggested him to add your link to this mods description.

I just published a quick and dirty colorable version here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3287240260 .

Since I've been using your Solar Script, I'll give this mod a try. I'll also echo the previous requests for a similar 'Colorable Solar Panel' mod.
Grat Dalton 19 May, 2024 @ 4:45pm 
Thank you Isy. Side effect of this Mod. My Potato PC has more FPS due to not having to spam multiple vanilla Solar Panels to = same output.
Imperialer Offizer 11-B 1 Mar, 2024 @ 2:40am 
can you pls raise all pannels to start with the 3.2 MW? speak make the 3.2MW as the starter tier and make all after even higher. solar is total underrated in SE. 2= 5.4MW 3= 7.7MW 4= 10.0MW 5= 13.5MW

Can I request that the upgraded solar panels takes more space than regular ones? Currently they felt to be too small.
Titan Nya 29 Nov, 2023 @ 7:24am 
Knowing that all (or most) of your mods are great I expect the update for the new dlc to happen at some point (I haven't played in a while so don't even remember what last update added :p)
Isy  [author] 14 Oct, 2023 @ 2:40pm 
Thank you! I'll have a look at them and see what I can do ;)
Dalten 14 Oct, 2023 @ 2:21pm 
Guten Tag Isy, I second @LobitoLoco's request. amazing continued work across all your mods and scripts. have a good weekend :)
LobitoLoco 29 Sep, 2023 @ 10:51am 
Hi Isy! Love your mods and scripts! Do you plan to make the "colorable solar panels" from the DLC in the x2, x5, x10, x20 versions? Would love to see them :D
shadow4910 2 Sep, 2023 @ 10:05pm 
love the mod by the way
shadow4910 2 Sep, 2023 @ 10:05pm 
mod /update for half size/smaller for tiny drones ?
FalconZ 2 Sep, 2023 @ 2:26pm 
Sorry to post here but IIM seems to not have comments enabled. Just letting you know the SE update changed assembler categories which has causes some issues with the IIM script
Isy  [author] 26 May, 2023 @ 3:22am 
Update!
Version 1.0.1:

- Made the solar panels more durable
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 7 Jan, 2023 @ 4:39am 
i never had any issues with this mod and weaponcore and since this mod only adds new solar panels there shouldnt be any issues.
REV3LatioN 7 Jan, 2023 @ 4:36am 
will this mod clash with weapon core and its vast collection of supported mods do you know?
RakkenTi 5 Jul, 2022 @ 12:12pm 
Thanks
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 3 Jul, 2022 @ 11:43am 
yes this does still work, had it on my last playthrough which was 1 month ago
RakkenTi 3 Jul, 2022 @ 10:42am 
Hey does this still work?
Xiris 6 Feb, 2022 @ 7:04pm 
They're working now, not sure what happened then. Flipping them on and off didn't do anything, just randomly started working again. Who knows. Glad it's working now though
Isy  [author] 5 Feb, 2022 @ 1:05am 
Just tested them.. They work perfectly fine.. Make sure, they are turned on in the terminal...
Xiris 4 Feb, 2022 @ 9:31am 
They're displaying red like they've been turned off, grinding down and replacing them does nothing and the info page show max energy to be 0mW. Only checked with the x20 ones though
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 3 Feb, 2022 @ 8:07pm 
what exactly is broken about it?
Xiris 3 Feb, 2022 @ 7:21pm 
Mod broken with the new patch. Looking forward to the update
Raynor 6 Jan, 2022 @ 10:41pm 
Can you add a 1x1 panel that is twice as durable as vanilla but has vanilla stats?
Oktavius Climberus 22 Nov, 2021 @ 8:01am 
ok thanks
Isy  [author] 21 Nov, 2021 @ 3:29pm 
That is completely normal vanilla behavior.. They output only that amount, that is needed by batteries or running machines..
Oktavius Climberus 20 Nov, 2021 @ 1:52pm 
For me the mod works, but although the "Isy's Dense Solar Panel 20x" to 99% sonenlich get they produce instead of 3.2 MW only max 109 KW where at it constantly fluctuates with lower numbers, could that be due to the last update ?
Katarina [WolfCraft Industries] 22 Oct, 2021 @ 6:53pm 
this mod should still work unless keen changed something. check your dedicated server logs if it throws any errors
T. Scuttle 22 Oct, 2021 @ 2:50pm 
Is this still active? - or is there another change I'm not seeing by looking at the page for it, in addition to comments...loaded Mod ID into everywhere it needs for a DS - Just like I have with countless other mods, and the DS just ignores this mod on startup.
jb2018 23 Aug, 2021 @ 3:38pm 
@Bonzaii....check your rotors group. It did the same thing to me because I used the wrong group name.
Quetz 15 Aug, 2021 @ 2:06pm 
Just a heads-up, on the page for the solar alignment script there's a link to the deprecated solar panels.
BlackMacWaffles 26 May, 2021 @ 2:41am 
Then another question. Can you make a x20 wind turbine mod?
Isy  [author] 26 May, 2021 @ 2:08am 
This would be too overpowered in my Opinion.. A x10k variant would produce 1.6 gigawatt.. That's absolutely unrealistic to have one solar panel powering your whole fleet..
BlackMacWaffles 19 May, 2021 @ 8:06pm 
Can you add a x100 and a x1000 variant or even a x10000 variant? would be extremely helpfull and awesome since i really want to rely on green energy and not reactors
Lasher 6 May, 2021 @ 2:39pm 
Yup - definitely got this working with the alignment script - got 2 solar "arms" on a ship with a "T" arrangement of rotors on each. Aligns them perfectly and they're the 20x variant.
Bonzaii 6 May, 2021 @ 5:44am 
Can anyone comment if they have this working with Isy's Solar Alignment script? Mine seem to give me warning "No solar panels or oxygen farms found" and "Aligned" all the time - means if there's sun they are not moving at all.
Lasher 4 May, 2021 @ 3:42pm 
Isy - Totally love these panels - makes using solar just way more viable.
Don't know if it's possible but would you be able to make a paintable version, or at least a version in black?
The blue just ruins my jam on some ships!
Thanks.
ARTea 3 Apr, 2021 @ 8:59pm 
the x20 solarpanel is as dense as me.
Isy  [author] 23 Mar, 2021 @ 3:51am 
You can queue the components via buildplanner..
Schmetterling 20 Mar, 2021 @ 10:37pm 
Nice mod! You don't need to make a large field with solar panels, but put one, and there is a choice of sizes. It's a pity these panels cannot be ordered directly from the assembler.
Isy  [author] 20 Mar, 2021 @ 6:35am 
No, colored icons come from the hud mod itself..
Lasseman 18 Mar, 2021 @ 12:30am 
Love your stuff. Thanks for this!
