Steam Community :: Sun Lamp Power

Of course, just, don't ask me about making it a patch or anything, I genuinely don't understand how that works.

dmsephiroth 16 Jul @ 1:39pm

Thanks for updating dear Abby Sciuto! :)

Smug_Teasip 10 Jul @ 4:10pm

Finally don't need to build an army of generators just to have an indoor farm

AbitHigh 7 Jul @ 1:12am

Thank u for the reply

- Abby Sciuto [author] 3 Jul @ 10:40pm

It will work for 1.6, any warnings can be ignored, I just need to update the version number really.

AbitHigh 3 Jul @ 4:49pm

1.6?

SucháVoda 15 May @ 2:28pm

My phrasing is horrible. Lemme be more clear. The mod ive sent is a good example on how to make settings. If you know C# you might probably do it and/or learn something.

SucháVoda 15 May @ 2:23pm

Unfortunatly, there's no def for mod settings. But the mod realistic bedrooms has the exact settings you would like. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2558042766

But it is harder than just making a patch.

- Abby Sciuto [author] 24 Apr @ 1:53am

I don't know how to set that up I'm afraid, sorry.

Grey 23 Apr @ 1:43pm

Can it be made to be configurable through the mod options screen from main menu?

- Abby Sciuto [author] 16 Apr @ 1:17am

Realistically, I think it does take a lot of power to do this kind of thing, but from a gameplay perspective, it feels really excessive, especially since it only leaves you with 700 W from a Geo Gen'.

AVNlover67 15 Apr @ 3:36pm

I just noticed how much power it uses. Thanks for the mod. Why would the devs think 2,900 is acceptable for a sun lamp?

- Abby Sciuto [author] 10 Apr @ 11:52pm

Not really sure how to address that.

DRG Engineer 9 Apr @ 9:41pm

Keeps freezing my game when I turn on the mod.

匿名 28 Jan @ 11:51pm

good！ this works well, and very helpful

- Abby Sciuto [author] 3 Dec, 2024 @ 12:52am

Honestly I don't even know how to do the patch operation, I tried it but I wasn't doing it right since it was throwing out errors, but I don't know what I was doing wrong. I'd make it adjustable but yeah, I'm BASIC.

ChopSushiii 2 Dec, 2024 @ 9:56pm

this is goated, anyway you could make it a mod option to change the power draw?

- Abby Sciuto [author] 28 Nov, 2024 @ 2:04pm

Alright fair enough, I have been convinced, I'll have a look at changing it to a patch then.

Jdalt40 27 Nov, 2024 @ 8:51pm

Overwriting defs is a great way to get silently screwed over by the game introducing changes to the def you're overwriting, please just do it the proper way, it's extremely easy

- Abby Sciuto [author] 27 Nov, 2024 @ 2:45pm

I wouldn't know, I've run this game with like 50 - 100 mods before now and this mod has never affected them, really just having the correct load order is enough in the majority of cases.

AerosAtar 22 Nov, 2024 @ 11:07am

You might want to look at changing this mod from using a Def overwrite to a 'replace' Patch, especially since you are only changing a single value. Overwriting defs, especially vanilla ones, is bad practice and ends up causing mod conflicts.

- Abby Sciuto [author] 12 Sep, 2024 @ 8:11am

Just checked, Wall Sun Lamps aren't vanilla, they're from a mod.

- Abby Sciuto [author] 12 Sep, 2024 @ 8:01am

Oh wait those aren't from a mod I have? I'll have a look then.

Hellebus 12 Sep, 2024 @ 6:30am

Doesn't work on wall sun lamps added in 1.5.

🔹Lost soul🔹 11 Aug, 2024 @ 11:25am

Thank you very much.

- Abby Sciuto [author] 8 Aug, 2024 @ 2:35am

I'll be honest in saying, even after having played the game for a good while, I still can't be bothered having sun lamps sap 2900 power, I get WHY they do, but for the sake of gameplay, I don't care.

Peter 7 Aug, 2024 @ 9:56pm

Amen to this. Tired of using multiple windmills for example just for a single sunlamp. New to the game and managing power output is miserable.

MeTAL 21 Jul, 2024 @ 6:46am

Genius i like this mod

- Abby Sciuto [author] 17 Jul, 2024 @ 12:40am

Probably a mod conflict, try adjusting your load order, either move this further up or further down, if you're not already, try giving RimPy a go, it has a load order sort function and has worked without for me.

Mr.Smile 16 Jul, 2024 @ 7:10pm

For some reason this mod deletes sunlamps from my build menu. Could be a bug on my end. I don't know.

Deus Vultica 22 Apr, 2024 @ 8:21am

Base sun lamp power draw is absurd. Thanks a lot.

دانيال أيفان مولا 16 Apr, 2024 @ 7:02pm

thanks man, a must have mod always lol

- Abby Sciuto [author] 10 Apr, 2024 @ 12:37pm

Mod shouldn't give any warnings when the update hits tomorrow.

gabelstapler 16 Feb, 2024 @ 8:23am

This mod is such a boon, using an entire Geothermal reactor for 1 Lamp(hydro basins not included) is absurd

- Abby Sciuto [author] 29 Sep, 2023 @ 5:55am

son lomp

IHateTheIRS 28 Sep, 2023 @ 2:29pm

lomp

- Abby Sciuto [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 2:42pm

With this mod? THE LAMP STILL WINS.

roko711 9 Apr, 2023 @ 2:39pm

Who would win:
An array of power cells, designed by a machine god to generate thousands of watts constantly
Or
One lamp that turns on and off

- Abby Sciuto [author] 20 Jan, 2023 @ 8:38pm

Oh yeah, just a smidge.

Mismagius 20 Jan, 2023 @ 8:33pm

was looking for a mod like this. and glad that i did cause the power that the sun lamps uses up was ridiculous.

OneOfTheHomies 3 Nov, 2022 @ 5:19pm

Thanks King, I didn't know how much they ate at first, til I installed one and got raided and my turrets had nopower.

- Abby Sciuto [author] 24 Oct, 2022 @ 1:54pm

Jesus, the requirements aswell though, that's a lot of information I don't know about so this probably won't be happening.

Banditul 24 Oct, 2022 @ 2:54am

It seems to be a C# thing? https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Modding_Tutorials/ModSettings

- Abby Sciuto [author] 23 Oct, 2022 @ 2:38pm

I have no idea how to do that honestly, would be neat though.

Banditul 23 Oct, 2022 @ 12:41pm

I say would be nice if you can make it configurable in case someone wants to either increase or decrease the amount of power

d4t_b0i 3 Aug, 2022 @ 6:43pm

yea great mod, love it. not sure why sun lamps needed to drain a small city of power just to grow a few stacks of rice

- Abby Sciuto [author] 3 Aug, 2022 @ 12:06pm

Should be working absolutely fine, it only edits the Sun Lamp, so if it's not working, something else much be overriding it, I believe whatever's at the bottom of your load order is what gets read last, so it's settings will be what's taken into account, this mod only adjusts one thing, you could probably put it at the bottom and see if it works.

Goofyshoes 25 Jul, 2022 @ 5:40am

Doesn't seem to work for me

d4t_b0i 25 Jun, 2022 @ 2:16pm

yea like wtf. sun lamp drawing more power than a goddam omni core drill

Blade696 20 Jul, 2021 @ 11:23pm
