RimWorld Mod - Helios Solar Generators
Posted by Al Sweigart in misc
I generated a mod for RimWorld called Helios Solar Generators. I'm a fan of the SmallBench that shrink the sizes of various workbenches and the LWM's Deep Storage and Gravship Storage mods that let you fit more piles of items into tighter spaces. Helios Solar Generators adds four tiers of compact 2x2 solar generators, each unlocked by its own research project that builds on the previous tier. The source code is in a git repo.
- Tier 1: 1500 W peak (100 steel, 6 components)
- Tier 2: 3000 W peak (100 steel, 12 components)
- Tier 3: 6000 W peak (100 steel, 24 components)
- Tier 4: 9000 W peak (100 steel, 36 components)
All generators behave like the vanilla solar generator: output scales with daylight and is blocked when roofed over. Tier 1 requires the vanilla Solar panels research; higher tiers chain off each other and bring in Microelectronics and Multi-analyzer prerequisites.
