Reworked from vendan s original idea.
Rimworld solar roofs.
It always starts out in passive mode when you first give it power and it needs to be powered to be able to switch to active mode.
Orange overhead mountain yellow thin rock roof cyan constructed roof blue constructed steel roof teal constructed solar roof pink constructed transparent roof purple constructed transparent solar roof areabuildroof and arearemoveroof area zones.
It has much smaller space requirements than a wind turbine but provides no power at night or during an eclipse it can be placed in a wind turbine s exclusion zone with no effect on the turbine.
Until some building logic is reworked there are a few ways to easily create collapses.
Rimworld alpha 17 mod adds in solar panel roofing as well as a transparent type of roofing.
Each controller has a max output of 2500w.
So you can t build one to protect against.
Suggestion solar freaking roofs self rimworld submitted 2 years ago by geilaj so you don t have to drive far to see solar panels on roofs why doesn t our colony 3000 years in the future have the ability to mount solar panels on roofs.
1 does the roof have support.
A roof will not be fully built in a room that is more then 11 blocks between two parallel sides.
Each solar tile produces 200w during full sun.
Adds customizable roofing with transparent greenhouse roofing and photovoltaic solar roofing.
A solar generator provides up to 1700w of power from sunlight.
A direct port of the github version made by aaroncrobinson.
Areas can be designated to have a roof or not have a roof by drawing either a build roof area or remove roof area.
When you select roof zoning you can see the colored draw area of all different roof types.
Works on 0 19 0 as well as 1 0 0.
Solar generators may be protected by surrounding them with walls but they must stay unroofed to operate.
And with a more recent release i think a17 there are 2 separate shades of green so you can easily see which are thin constructed roofs and which are overhead mountain.
Solar roofing and controllers explained.
If there is no supporting wall or rock.
Rt solar flare shield.
If that distance is more then that then you will only get a partial roof around everywhere but the position where it lacks enough support 2 roof construction is a low priority.
Believe that different color shading was part of a mod that zorba made zorba now works on rimworld and i think he ported a few of his mods into vanilla right away.
Maintenance required for thick roofs only maintenance is a long tick once every 2000 ticks.
There is no limit to the number of controllers connected to a section of tiles.
