Higher Quality Solar Pannels And Accumulators

Post by Kinesis »

Currently, Solar Power is both expensive AND excessively space consuming. I can accept that for early game, it is a trade off after all, but what about late game? Coal seems nearly indefinite as well as oil and is clearly superior so how about a way to produce better Solar Power later in the game?

Simply put, how about Tier 2,3,4,ect Solar Power and Accumulators that use more expensive resources but achieve more in the same space, similar to the way factory/refinery tiers work. This way future expansions will not require half-map sized fields of panels and accumulators just to break even in power.

Although it does appear to solve the problem, id rather not take the "starbound" approach to problem solving, to the point the game goes dark because modders are just doing everything themselves. So I at least feel the need to put a post up here.

Of course. :) Dytech is just an 'in the mean time' sort of thing in this respect.

Do you actually burn coal and oil in the late game?
