Increasing the solar panel limit
Im building a CV right now and my design includes lots of solar panels more for looks than anything else. I have 24 already and cannot add more. Ive looked around a bit and so far the edits ive made to the blocks config file do not seem to be working in my game. Either i am missing a step or just doing it wrong. For reference all I have done is changed the "MaxCount:" from 24 to 200 for the 4 different block ID's related to solar panels. I did see that this can be done in the steamapps folder and in the workshop folder. Could someone be so kind and spell it out for me so I can build my CV?

FYI you can use 24 of each for both the small and the large CV solar panels.
You may also need to edit the block group config file in case there's a limit set there as well.
Make sure you're editing the CV solar panels not the BA solar panels.

But the game may override your updates so best to use a local scenario and then start a new save game using that local version instead.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question but I think this is a little bit above me. I dont see where to edit the max for the CV panels and I dont know what I should add for the block group config. Im several hours into my save and I dont want to try stuff until it works and break my game. Maybe I can come across someone that has already made the edit and I can copy from them. Thanks again!

CV solar panels are a different item than the normal solar panels that are placed on a base. You can find them in the BlocksConfig.ecf file located in the scenario folder for Reforged Eden.
default location is:
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\383120\2550354956\Content\Configuration


Be sure to back up any files you intend to modify before making changes!

you will need to find the following entries and edit the max count for each:

Block Name: CVSmallSolarPanelBlocks

Block Name: CVSmallSolarPanelSloped1

Block Name: CVLargeSolarPanelBlocks

Block Name: CVLargeSolarPanelSloped

(I recommend using the search function to find them, they are near the bottom of the file)


I don't usually mod these, so you may need to tweak the settings and make sure they work as intended, but its pretty straightforward. For testing, I suggest making a temporary new game using the scenario in creative or using console commands to spawn in a CV and make sure you can put the desired amount of solar panels on it.

Once you confirm everything works as intended, you can load your original save.

I also strongly recommend making a local copy of the scenario as suggested by ravien. (I believe he has a guide that covers the details). Otherwise, you will need to make the changes every time the scenario updates

Ya know. Sometimes life just messes with you. Ive spent almost 6 hours looking for how to do this and all it took was you telling me the file path. I was in the wrong folder the whole time. How? Why? Who knows! 30 seconds is all it took. I knew it was just that simple lol

Seriously - THANK YOU
