Solar Windows

Windows that is a bit tougher than vanilla window that also produce energy.
it is airtight, no leaking air running away from your fancy green energy space pod!
Have transparent solar panel texture as tint that brings you a bit of the sci-fi looking and... tell you it is a solar window!

13 Blocks include all 1x1, 1x2 vanilla windows shapes with extra variants for your round sleek design.
Large, Small grid variants avaliable, Balanced so that one Solar Cell produce 5kw of power.
Total 26 Blocks.

Subtype ID are untouched, which allows you to put your older blueprint that uses the original mod in and it will not break apart, but it means that you will not able to use both mod at once, or the game will confuse, you dont want that.

Skin support! repaint them however you want them to be!

1.Sun detection FIX, now support muti-side sun detection!
2.Progression Support, now they are in the same place as the vanilla solar panels in the tech tree!
3.Airtight Improve, Brings MORE posibility for your fancy green energy space ship!

1. Build cost adjust so now they use girder and glass instead of metal grid and small tube, like vanilla windows.
2. Power output adjust so now the power output make sense when compared to the vanilla solar panel, keep the original solar useful.
3. Mount point fix so you place them and they wont stay hovering even if its not touching.
4. Airtight are changed to behave like vanilla window so u could maybe make some fancy solar tube or something, you know, they should work like window in vanilla games.
5. PCU adjust so now they use the same amount of PCU as vanilla solar panel, giving reason for server admin to scream at you.
6. Power Prioity Fix, so now you expect them generate power first when your grid wants power before kick the reactor and battery in.
7. Block Naming Change, so now they uses same/simular name as its vanilla window counter parts.
8. Description for blocks, it aint much but its honest works.

Due to vanilla window airtight problem, you might suffocate when standing inside the window slope or face, its not something i can fix due to its just the way airtight mechanic works, i did upgrade the mount points so they make sense and allow u to place them as how u want them with much lesser trouble.

Fixed:AND Due to how solar panel works in this game, even tho the block looks like it have 2 faces facing different directions, game only care if the block's forward/backward is pointing toward the sun, it is strongly suggested to also subscribes to Build Info mod that enable the ability for you to check block orientation by pressing ctrl and = (default key bind).

Small grid Balancing is not perfect, but there is nothing i can do with it, so all small grid variant uses one solar cell and output 5kw power even tho the bigger ones gets... bigger area.

This mod is not updated along the collision box update so their collision box is still like the old day space engineers windows, you might still able to make fancy stuff with them make sure to go nice and slow, to update them i need to know how to do modeling, which i dont know how to. sadly :(
