Factorio portable solar panel not working.

Factorio new players game help topic details. Options on enable grid to early armours. This is the first time i have used the portable solar panels but since the cost of the fusion reactor went up i decided to utilize it. Solar panels working by pollution smog not so effective a day ago 0 16 1 0 1449.

Adds non rechargeable battery equipment which can be crafted in the early game and much cheaper than portable solar panel in short term. Jun 18 2016 7 23pm batteries in power armor not working. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. Internal name solar panel equipment required technologies allows effects.

It is after all much smaller. I have batteries and solar panels in my power armor but the batteries don t seem to be charging. Designed for schall recharging weapon mod or as backup power to equipment. As the title says i know the output of the panels should be more than the consumption of equipment but i only have one thing in there and its fully charged yet the one battery will not charge up.

In general this is a technique which works well when you ve just researched accumulators and solar panels but don t have enough resources to build big solar farms and accumulator farms yet. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. It s not strange that it generates less electricity. The optimal ratio is 0 84 21 25 accumulators per solar panel and 23 8 solar panels per megawatt required by your factory this ratio accounts for solar panels needed to charge the accumulators this means that you need 1 428 mw of production of solar panels and 100mj of storage to provide 1 mw of power over one day night cycle.

Quite unrealistic that a small 1x1 tile portable solar panel needs 5 3x3 tile solar panels and 5 large steel plates i beams and then only outputs 10kw 1 6 that of a single solar panel when it should output 300kw 60x5. Portable solar panels can be used to slowly recharge energy shields out of combat but are nearly useless for personal laser defense or exoskeleton even with a large number of batteries. This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. Now connectible to the circuit network.

During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Reduced collision box of big electric pole to allow squeezing between it and an accumulator.
