@jivaii

could be but doubltfull since he talked about removing the Quantum cores

but that wasn't the issue here,
the issue was that Ivan was being an asshat by starting to trash talk in a foreign language
thinking we couldn't understand it

Lam, it's also possible that Ivan was trying to load it on a vanilla server as well.

@Ivanovich

google traslate ftw :

It is impossible to build this ship. Why 40 fuel tanks? 100 engines? 40 generators? What is this nonsense? The desire to make "more beautiful"? The ship cannot be made on any of a dozen Russian servers. Tried on Pegasus also, American server. I got into creative mode - they cut down generators, cut down a million fuel tanks, and a million engines, cp expanders .. stupidly killed two hours for this. The result is an unsubscribe and a dislike. I do not recommend this template, the author clearly created it for playing in creative mode.


Where the heck did you find those numbers ?!?
Because it sure as hell aint on this ship.
Further more it aint my fault that you are trying to spawn this ship on a server,
that doesn't support a ship of this size.

Невозможно построить этот корабль. Зачем 40 топливных баков? 100 движков? 40 генераторов? Что это за нонсенс? Желание сделать "покрасивше"? Корабль невозможно сделать ни на одном из десятка русских серверов. Пробовал на Пегасе также,американский сервер. Защёл в творческий режим- спили генераторы,спилил миллион топливных баков,и миллион двигателей,цп расширители.. тупо убил часа два на это. Итог- отписка и дизлайк. Не рекомендую этот шаблон,автор явно создал его для игры в творческом режиме.

Lam, yap. In Vanilla it would maybe not load. I think they only add now towards fuel consumption with the new mobile solar panels. In the readme it states:

"If your ship's total energy consumption is 0 or negative, you will effectively not use any fuel."

I think LEDs are not working either then.

@ Grollwerk,

As of Reforged Eden 1.5 Solar Capacitors are not allowed on CV's any more.
Further more Solar Panels LCD lights do not light up.

If you open the P menu and go to the Statistics tab and look at the power/fuel colum
it should say Consumption : - 1.x depending how much sun light there is and how much power you are using.(look @ the last screen shot)

Also if you load a Reforged Eden game on the loading screen left hand side is a whole wall of text saying what they changed about the Solar Panels on CV's in 1.5.

Well that is if you are loading a Reforged Eden 1.5 game.

The Jrandall build with Solar Capacitors is for 1.4 you can load it in creative mode but when you try to load it in a normal game the name of the ship will be turned red and you will not be able to load it.

Got it up and working. All solar panels there but not working. Searching the ships it seems it has Solar Capacitors missing and I can not add some. The only Helios in Game right now with working panels is from Jrandall's 4-Bay version with Capacitors. All other Helios in game seems not to work on solar.

Thank you Lam. I have to double check on that. So Project Eden (as in my link) and Reforge Eden are two different things. Yeah... some time down the road :) Thank you all and I have to rinse and repeat :)

@ Grollwerk,

you can find Reforged Eden here :
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2550354956

With the description that you mention just now it seems that you are loading the helios XL in a vanilla game

In the main menu go to : Start game / Single Player
Scenario
Reforged Eden 1.5

Then on the right side of your screen click on : Survival
this should change it into Creative
and then press start on the bottom

Now you can load the proper Helios XL with Solar Panels & a normal looking CPU room

Jivaii. Yes, I do have RE addon subscribed and Reforge Galaxy.

I do have a Helios Module with solar panels on it (so I know how they look like - lol). But none of the Helios CVs I ever loaded had any solar panels. My first thought was I maybe miss a mod or anything in my config file? As told my RE loading screen, missions, RE landscape (ore mines and stuff) all is in and I even started with a new save game.

When I look now at Lam's screenshots from the ship I see the solar panels on top of the modul frame/ flight deck. In my download there is nothing there, just frame. What is also strange are the screenshots of Lam's CPU room. In mine a bomb went off, the orange left walls are missing. Nut sure the pictures are the actual ones.

I then tried to add solar panels on the ship myself but it tells me "can not be placed on a CV" or something.

Grollwerk, this is for reforged eden. Are you using that scenario when you load it in? There's a new workshop page for it, separate from the older 1.4 version.

@ Grollwerk,

no worries we all where new at some point :)

Thanks Lam. Strange, I do not see any. Just blocks and textures. Well...I am new :)

@ Grollwerk,

there are over 700 of them on the flight deck

Solar panels on the ships I thought. I do not see any on there atm.

@ Grollwerk,

Uhm not really sure what you where trying to say about the solar panels

Thank you Lam. You did a great job expanding this ship. I wish we get solar panels back some day for it :)

@ Grollwerk,

Feel free to make it to your liking, Just like I did when I build it.

Although I did like the original Helios XL better then the 1.5 version

Not a bad ship but it needs tons of texture work to get it somehow back to the original, the underside, the flight deck - not much original texture left there. Also some stuff was colored in but since color is a question of personal taste it is easy to change. Abit confusing are the front engines in the front hangar. I removed the housing because I thought the roundish design did not fit the interior and did completely hide the engines in blocks. Also a bomb of some sort was exploding in the CPU room so there are blocks missing at the wall inside. I had to do little rebuilding in there. A bit confusing are also the red arrows used for docking the modules. When you are docked and inside the hallway by the docks, you still can see the red arrows every now and then. Next to check the guns cause just 15mm will maybe not be enough. Maybe get some flak on it as well. Other than that the build has potential. Thank you

@ jivaii ,

I used the small one's since the original design was build with the small one's

Did you use the larger mobile solar panels? They're more power dense then the smalls

@ jivaii ,

Just updated the BP
Still think it's weird that all the LCD lights on the solar panels are off
but i guess it is working as they intended
they also changed some stuff regarding CPU which is a good thing since it now only need 66 Quantum core instead of the 81 in the old version

Ok, spoke with Vermillion. Mobile solar panels reduce the power requirement, so you still need a generator, but if you have enough solar panels to reduce the power needs into negative, you get infinite power. Time to slather on those solar panels again.

He said it's similar to how crew function for CPU.

The solar panels are supposed to be always on, and capacitors are no longer needed

@ jivaii ,

I already have an updated version
only problem is the solar panels refuse to turn on
so there is no real point to update it on the work shop (yet)

Lam, will you be updating this with the new solar panels from reforged?

@ whwatson33 ,Well she is a big boat :)

90 Drive Thrusters... so does this thing do cartwheels?

@ Tragger yeah sometimes the game bugs out with that
if you play SP use the consule command sbp and then spawn 1 in on a 1g planet that should work
or if you are not to heavy loaded fly onto 1 and relog the game sometimes that helps

Hello Lam, This is a great ship I am really enjoying it, however, I have one question the Solar power on the ship does not work at all. Do you know if there is some type of issue with the game or maybe too many panels on the ship? Any ideas. Thanks
