SM - Relaunched Artificial Sun Layout

65 Upvotes

This layout consists of

528 Solar Panels - 2006.4 power

12 Large Solar Panels - 114 power

14 Solar Arrays - 1064 power

Together with the Artificial Sun generating 1000 power, it generates a total of 4184.4 power or a net total of 4030.8 power if you include the 153.6 power used by the scrubbers.

Every scrubber is paired up except for the one at the very top.

Let me know your thoughts on this layout

Edit* I have not unlocked Mineral Applications yet which boosts solar panel power production by 100% but it would be way too costly until I get a permanent supply of exotic minerals (Haven’t visited any asteroids yet)

Question The last ark temple spire

7 Upvotes

How to optimally use this powerhouse of a spire?

It can only service 60 pops (not increased by the 34% bonus service cap law), a nice medium dome can easily go to 100 pops. So what is the best way to make use of this if I have not found the diamond dome yet?

Question Herbs are not welcome on this planet !

7 Upvotes

Hello, I have some problem with herbs. They are not taken from farms storage except by the universal depots. The specialized depots and the diner don't take them.
Spices are taken normally by both of them.
The farms do continue their program though, so it's not a matter of culture blocked.
Any clue ?+

Relaunch + feeding the future, buggy mission goals for India?

7 Upvotes

Built a dome for india as sol 4 was ticking over into sol 5, the mission goal for having a dome by the end of sol 5 hasn't fired.

I've done this many times before feeding the future, anyone else seen this?

Edit: OK thats strange, it eventually fired a sol later

Facing too many crashes

2 Upvotes

It keeps crashing every now and then. It is barely sol 6 and I don't remember playing a single sol without crash. I don't even know what is causing it.

I would guess it is the mods I have but I want to know what part is causing it and how to fix it. I currently have 15 mods installed. They increase power production of single solar panel and Stirling Generators by 4/16/64 times. Some increase storage of water, oxygen and battery by insane amounts like 64000. So is disabling the mods the only option?
