Empyrion Solar Panels Not Working Alpha 8

Base 10000 solar fuel now when you open your game and you put only 2 capacitors on your base and you hawe a bunch of solar panels do not panic when you se that the batery bar is not going up she is going up but slow cause of big fuel capaciti you.

Empyrion solar panels not working alpha 8.

I m playing a new game i just started in a8 2. Trying to figure out how solar panels and capacitors work. I placed down my panels and they seem to be working fine. My solar capacitor isn t storing any power though.

The best way to make use of solar energy is to set up device grouping in the control panel. As a guide each panel can produce 50 60kw of power so you can produce up to about 1mw of power. Now originally i put down 4 capacitors but when i came here looking. Solar capacitors will always prioritize using solar energy before burning fuel.

Build powerful ships mighty space stations and planetary bases to explore and exploit a variety of different planets and discover the mysteries of empyrion. Solar energy setups can be complicated and require some thought to become truly efficient. Let s find out empyrion galactic survival cur. The alpha 8 5 anniversary update was.

My output for the solar array is more than double my power consumption for a long part of the day but my battery stays at 0. This means in order to make a base sustainable you re looking at a maximum of 300kw of consumption. Solar panels won t work if you have a generator in your base. In addition any generators present in the base will not consume fuel as long as there is ample solar energy stored in capacitors to meet the base s power needs.

So i laid down a solar farm for my new base.
