@Chaoticrow: Steam Workshop is having a normal one again. Unsubscribe and resubscribe to try and force it to re-download.

It says here 1.6 compatible but in the game's mod menu it says the mod is for 1.5?

Of course, there are many batteries,no mod batteries. bro,void batteries.emmm,I build it in wild, and the wires are also connected,i will check again.When solar flare erupts, it rotates very vigorously.but just no use i will check again,not your mod wrong,

@永远的赵日天: Or you don't have enough power. Do you have any batteries? Are you relying on a RimAtomics reactor? That one auto-scrams during flares, you should toggle that off.

used,but still power down,maybe other mod wrong.

@永远的赵日天: Try again.

need update

thanks so much

We were hoping the necessary changes would be minimal and easily done. But thank you for the respons Ratysz and thank you for keeping this amazing Mod updated

Patience. You asking for 1.6 doesn't magically make the spare time I need to get it done.

1.6plz

will be happy to get 1.6

we need it for 1.6 pls

1.6 update coming?

I have to reload save bc I got raid by huge amount of insectoid and get hit with solar flare and the shield didn't do anything (also during when I don't have any batteries lol)

@Ratysz when I post the msg I don't have any batteries but I already build a couple but have to wait for another solar flare and I only use the advance power generator (aka vanilla expanded stuff)

@AikiAimi: Gonna need more details to diagnose that. How are you generating that power, do you have any batteries, what other mods that may be influencing this do you have, etc.

idk why but whenever there solar flare and I have the solar shield my magnetic field will ran out of power even tho it only consume 25k while I can produce 36k of electricity

works in 1.6 could you please update compatibility

Thanks for informing us

@Papito: Eventually.

Will this be updated?

@RiskyBuisness just because solar flare shield protect your base from shorting out, and theoretically allows you base to transmit Coms signal, everyone else would still be unpowered and effectively jammed by EM Interference... and even if they did have their own EM shields protecting their power grids the EM Interference still might be too strong to allow two way communication dues to jamming effect of flare/event

Ah ok, gotcha. Solid reasoning (also, many thanks for this mod, saves me countless headaches).

@RiskyBusiness: My take is that the way solar flares knock out electric devices is via, well, electromagnetic interference - we even have other sources of flare-like EMI now. Blocking out the bad EM radiation blocks out useful EM radiation, too - as in, radio waves.

Lightballs and speakers are kind of coincidental. Feel free to think of them as working over Bluetooth or something.

Also, my lightballs and speakers are also not protected.

Just out of curiosity, what's your reasoning for this not protecting comms consoles?

@望月: I don't know what "5w2" or "6w4" is, and I'm going to need more than "device malfunctioned" to go on.

Are you placing the shield inside the RV dimension and expecting it to affect the outside world? That won't work, sadly, and I currently have no interest in spending effort to make it work.

When I used the mod 'RV with built-in PD', the device malfunctioned. My power generation is 5w2 and the battery level is 6w4.

this mod is great, can't live without it. the amount of power it consumes give a a reason to have batteries. the mod is awesome, you're awesome.

@Ratyz damn aight, that or i somehow broke it with my game luck, i tend to do it A LOT

@[AN] Mad Scientist: I can't reproduce that issue on my end, so it sounds like a mod conflict to me.

@Ratysz yea i have tried up to 10 full batteries and nothin happened

@[AN] Mad Scientist: Define "plenty". Do you have any batteries?

for some reason it is not protecting my colony from solar flares despite having PLENTY of power

although i am sadly floating like 12500power + about 6000wd batteries ... that would save me :P sadly oesnt work unless build before emi¨field ...

doe it protect against quest EMI field ? D: ... i build it after i got the quest (for 20 days) and would need like 3h of gameplay to reload T-T
-
i dont have EMP weapons nor high tier mechs build yet to fight mech cluster with 3x Alpha mech: siegemelter ... that splash monstrosity its attack is same range as these incerdinary launchers .. except that these are AREA OF FIRE ... literall hell

@blazezierhiz it protects whole one map tile

does this have an AoE or just the whole one map tile?

yeah power demand is kinda up there, have to use larger batteries mods and with dub's rimatomics (solar flare S.C.R.A.M. set to off) + Rimatonics P.I.D. Autothrottle don't have to worry about solar shield sucking batteries dry in half a second lol

@Eversor: When people reported this before it turned out they didn't have enough power. Your generators alone may not be enough, try putting a couple batteries on your power network.

Sadly it doesn't help against a EMI-Dynamo. First it went into 'working-mode' but shortly after turned off with the rest of electric stuff in my Base.

@skizordrone: It should.

does this also protect agianst the EMI Dynamo?

@Ratysz awesome! thanks for getting back so soon! take care

@TheLastThrumbo: The comms consoles are entirely intentional, the rest I'm not sure about - I know didn't do anything special for them.

Hello! This mod has been working great, thanks for all your hard work!

While using the V.O.I.D mod, when the raid initiates a flare, 99% of my electronics still work, which is amazing! I wanted to point out that any comms consoles, ideology loud speakers, and ideology light balls dont work.

Hope this was helpful, and thanks again.

@Ch11lGh0st #TransRights: Disable "SCRAM on solar flares" or whatever it's called.

I have 4 nuclear reactors and it's still not working during solar flares, cool cool

25,000 watts of energy for a solar shield?! It better be worth it.
