Power & Solar
Solar output follows the sun and the weather, panels get dirty, and your base has one power grid you can open.
How it works
- Place solar banks in open sky; output peaks at midday and falls in clouds, rain and fog.
- Clean dirty panels with a Solar Cleaning Kit to get full output back.
- Press OPEN BASE GRID on a power block to see the grid: one tab per land claim.
- Add batteries to keep lights and traps running at night.
- Open any generator, solar bank or battery bank: the load dial turns amber then red as you near its limit, the lamp shows RUNNING, IDLE, OFF, NO FUEL, NO SUN or OVERLOAD, and the bar below shows fuel left (with how long it will last at this load), sun / sky / cleanliness for solar, or battery charge.
Tips
- Dirt builds up over time; check the grid window for panels below full output.
- Batteries charge from spare daytime power.
