Failing to see the point of Solar panels without battery storage
As title states, small solar panel 5 night and 24 day power, so if you need a constant 24 power it's fine during the day but it will shut down at night. You would have to build five solar panels to ensure you had 24+ power at night but vastly over produce power in the day with nowhere to store that extra power.

4 small wind turbines will give me will give a constant 28 day and night.

I have to be missing something here it makes no sense.

You'll see the point of solar arrays in Ocean world.

There are definitely battery structures in the game. Have you tried analyzing some resources in your analyzer?

The only batteries I have seen are the ones for your character and vehicles. I have seen no batteries that can connect to your power grid. Do these exist later in game?

I have scanned minerals up to Rubies and still nothing to plug into the grid. As small solar panels are early game so should any main power batteries be, if they do exist.

The Battery is unlocked when you Material Analyse sulfur. Same time you unlock the steamroller and Wheels. Can be found in the power section when placing buildings.

Not sure if it worth it though. Main use would only be in the beginning of the game since it only stores 100 MWh. Not sure how long the night cycle is. But, say it is 4 hours that would only give you 25 MW per battery.

Thanks will look at that. Sadly up to Nuclear now.

Sorted it.

You have to build the Solar panel first it then gives the plan for the battery.

I was going through another list Under 'J', would prefer a more conventional Tech Tree, but that's probably just me.

I discovered this when I started the game yesterday. Someone was a fan of "THAT" scene in Interstellar.
