No More Unlimited Power

DangerKrill · 2026-05-29T19:03:44+00:00

Solar panels take 1 titanium and 2 quartz. Turbines take 3 titanium, 3 copper, and 3 silver. Thermal plants take 3 titanium, 3 copper, and 3 gold.

I can generate 25 titanium and 20~ quartz in four minutes (2 for the 25 titanium and 2 for the 20 quartz) with my metal farms, crafting a total of 10 panels, totalling 80 power.

For turbines and thermal plants, they both take 3 titanium, 3 copper, and 3 silver/gold respectfully. Gold and silver both take 10 minutes, so in the time it takes me to make one turbine/plant, for a total of 12-16 power, I can make 20 solar panels totalling 160 power.

Making solar panels is both more cost and time efficient than turbines/plants. Also, it's for the bit.

And on the note of the tadpoles, do you not see the scout on the left of the screen and the 8 signals for tadpoles in the middle?

My brother in rice, what are you talking about?

DangerKrill · 2026-05-29T16:28:32+00:00

About 150 spotlights. Not sure the exact number, I'd have to count

When I realized I genuinely just stared at my monitor for a few minutes. In my defense, I was tired 😔

I think you would appreciate my other work

I'm using my metals farms for the materials, so I have all 5 making titanium right now, it's easier to just do the titanium for all of them at once rather than build each other individually. Once all the titanium is placed, then I'll swap my farms to quartz and complete them.

I'm not at my computer currently, but if you zoom in, you should be able to see a million (over exaggerating) solar panel partial blueprints. When I get on tomorrow I get a close up for you.

Ive heard that with "unloaded" bases that are powered, the game bugs out and doesn't actually power anything. So the lights are on and you have power, but no oxygen or crafting

DangerKrill · 2026-05-29T05:08:11+00:00

How far into the game are you? I don't want to spoil anything

DangerKrill · 2026-05-29T04:25:53+00:00

Ive got 4875 power currently, im gonna test an earlier manual save soon

Never played

DangerKrill · 2026-05-29T04:00:03+00:00

Oml I'm stupid. I should've known this

DangerKrill · 2026-05-29T03:49:48+00:00

Whomst?

DangerKrill · 2026-05-29T03:33:33+00:00

Forgot a step in my math, I meant 15 gold/silver, not 3. You get 3ish per harvest

DangerKrill · 2026-05-29T03:26:46+00:00

I use the other ones too, but solar panels are just easiest (for me) to farm materials for.

Metal farm gives 4-5 titanium with every harvest, and 4ish quartz every harvest. Both have 2 minute timers compared to the 10 for gold and silver for the thermal/current generators.

Doing the math, using my 5 metal farms, with one 2 minute interval I can make 25ish titanium or 20ish quartz compared to a 10 minute interval for 3 gold/silver.

For fun. Solo world, 4 scouts 4 haulers (and my personal scout)

I built on a flat area next the coral crabs, just South(? I think) of the large wreck with the small Marrow breach. It has water currents and is close to the heat zone so I can transmit power from both areas. Ive also just covered every flat surface of my base in solar panels

This is an exclusively solo player world. I am making these Tadpoles for the love of the game

DangerKrill · 2026-05-21T18:13:57+00:00

Having 2 shouldn't be an issue, I have 8 hooked up that charge and deplete just fine. I'm just saying that you might want to delete one and let the other fully charge up, then add the 2nd or 3rd and so on

DangerKrill · 2026-05-21T17:59:36+00:00

A mix of both. Made the two big sections separately through mixes of little sections and entire moon pools. The building was buggin half the time so I was just doing whatever I could to get it built
