Umm.. One of the triangle pieces is causing SE to crash when I try to place it in my build bar.

Request: Add scroll options like vanilla windows.
Request: Add missing window sizes, 2x2 for example...

Thanks.

block type

Any chance on an update with more window sizes?

Also.... Other items that use bulletproof glass, such as, Cockpits? Oxygen Farms? Or is that even possible, because of the block type?

Awesome! This is actually an Idea I was having for IRL! Basically a type of gurilla glass if anyone keeps up with such formulas, which also kind of reminds me of the "Transparent Aluminum" concept that was in Star Treck.

oohh 3000 !!!! yeah these are windows but they are also solar panels, so use with some care.

best advice is where you can use the larger sizes such as 2x3 and 3x3 instead of large placements of 1x1 or 1x2.

I créat a new world and with 3000 solar power windows there is a lag when i come back to this world but no crash. sorry it's probably my old CPU. When i try with solar panel it's the same. and for the crash it's probably a game instability because of my small CPU. Sorry

I cant replicate the problem, but by allot you mean game breaking ? =p

@Cride24 hi there thanks for the bug report me and visentinel shall look into this as soon as we can.

Hello !
I put a lot of Solar Power Windows at one ship and every 7 seconds i have a big lag. and some time a crach :

I love this mod. thanks :)

I have an idea for a thrusters if you can make it happen. Will let yu know once you have added me

Hi Visentinel It me blackdoge930 sent you a re add finally found you \o/

thanks for the report, il have a look maybe i need to update these after a recent game update.

seems that most (ive only tested flat and inverted flat) glass panels are trying to get solar incorrectly and when in direct sunlight only produce ~20kW instead of 1.62MW (1x1 flat) unless I swap the panel orientation Z and X numbers. So that X is -1 and Z is 0.

Just found this mod, love it.

Updated today to support the new Resource Groups Keen will use in the future

Currently got 2 projects on for future mod stuff but il add round solar to the backburner.

have you thought of making round panels?

Updated with increased output to keep up with the thirstyer thrusters in the game and a new solarglass icon. Enjoy

Will do, im making the rounds on updates and this is likely next.

And then meet shao's challenge to research these and dropped all the energy conversions based on existing and possible future tech regarding solar transparent cells on his mod page. Check it out.

wow you really went nuts on the windows, i guess it lags on the solar calculations ?

im not sure if anyones made really big windows like that but il look into it for u.

For a reference pic.

Or if you have any suggestions on this, let me know.

Do you have any plans on making any flat 5x5's or slanted 2x4's? Curious as it would help tremendously whenever I try to turn this production ship I'm working on (as it recalculates the energy flow per panel whenever I turn). The rest of the ship and world are working fairly well except for that tid bit (and still have a few more panels I'd like to lay down before it's complete).

its what the calculator said but il double check

1x2 panels seem to give 0.045 by mistake

Ahh many thanks ^_^

yeah ok 18 seconds lol, an oversight when reusing bits of code from other things to save time.

Its now 7 seconds, il publish the update in a couple of minutes

hmm im gonna update something else in a sec. il check what i put in for the time and see if its to long.

Loving the mod so far. Only 1 issue, the production time for solarlass is really really long >_<

Hi guys i have made the Industries 1st group page join it to keep updated on all updates and mods that are posted https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/vistech

Its fine dark the roads are just blocks
Iv spent the last 4 days modding like nonstop, to quote Jigsaw "I want to play a game" so gonna enjoy the fruits of my latest labor the replicator and compression and get my world sorted out since all my ships cant move. later il look at my next project.

@ {MwK} HashMyth. We can add solar function to blocks that have no function eg windows. Unless a modder can provide use with a road the we cant do it.

Well here it is Update 2 the solar output has finally been balanced depending on the window size hope you enjoy the new update. Send us some of your best pics using our solar windows :)

Panel size solar settings....... Done :)

the modular roads made solar hehe.

@[907G]Stardriver907 What about, Solar Freaking Roadways?! =D

Hi guys. Just to inform you the update has been delayed for now. Hoping to release Update 2 tomorrow instead.

been busy fixing issues from this updates addition of ship mass from the cargos and breaking some mods. its past 5am here now so il get to this mod when iv had some shut eye

Subscribed.

When can I get a set of these for my house?



Seriously.

@lylesonderz. We will see what we can do pass our thanks on to Shaostoul for his comment.

alright il see if its something i can do, i havent played with transparentmaterials yet. i dont play with mwm files or dds files at all. hopefully i dont need to.

*Shaostoul

You need to create an entry in a transparentmaterials.sbc

Transparent stuff, like glass, isn't just a material. In the XML it needs to be specified as glass, you add a CW and CCW facing texture that related to an entry in the TransparentMaterials.sbc

Thanks Visentinel, talk to shastoul last night he gave me some direction on how to do it i will paste his comment here so you can follow up on it.

Gonna sue mate

@Heavy Doge thanks for the the creepy comment. We shall work around this strange fault and add a warning label saying warning a penis does not mix with our toasters.

Instructions not clear, got my penis stuck in a toaster

@Danlovejoy Thanks for the compliments mate =)

@Lylesonders - sounds interesting, il try it, if it wont work for me either could the model itself has special spots where the text goes like how models have "Dummies" where conveyor ports go.

@visentinel your mods are awesome, thanks to you i can make a truly awesome general purpose ship that isnt ugly as butt just to function
