Factorio Solar Panel Pollution

Solar panels require research to unlock use way more resources to build produce significantly less power use significantly more room and require you to store power to keep the lights on at night.

Factorio solar panel pollution.

So sure your solar panel will never be attacked if there is a turret near by besides it does not pollute. Hi i m playing factorio without mods and always with the lowest pollution. Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night. Solar panels often contain lead cadmium and other toxic chemicals that cannot be removed without breaking apart the entire panel.

Quote from factorio wiki. Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution. Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio. So i believe in order of agression it s turrets sources of pollution other things.

This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle. For that you have to. Seven solar panels and five accumulators is the most efficient. 2 033 5 units of pollution to make a solar panel x 14 325 solar panels per 859 5 kw 17 9 pollution saved per second 27 1 minutes of daylight compared to the original 35 5 minutes.

During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw. Full solar panel zero steam engine full eletric furnace and on top of all put one efficiency module lvl 1 on every available slots i never use other module. It gives the radar full power all but a short time in the morning but never dips below the 20 power threshold for nearby scanning. It appears as a red colored blocky cloud.

Pollution is represented as an abstract cloud updated per chunk every game second 60 ticks and visible on the map when alt view is on default alt key. So it shaves off about 8 4 minutes from the break even total which is definitely not nothing. Yeah turrets and players aggro the aliens pretty well. 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.

I just don t really see myself in a position where coal will be so rare that i want to dump all of the resources required to get a workable solar grid up and running. It is produced by many buildings involved in processing items and spreads outwards at a steady rate. No aggro is based on a geographic target x y coordinates and then semi random from there.
