More Solar Power (Updated)

Description
Based on the More Solar Power [x4] [x8] v2 mod by Foogs, this update to the mod rebalances the requirements to realign it with the current cost and output of solar panels as of the Survival Update.

Original mod: Link. Mod by: Foogs

This new updated mod brings the same design and size benefits, but with the new power output and costs provided by the core game. The original mod edited base solar panels, which made this mod less desirable for players who were looking to improve their game. The costs for the new panels were also rather absurdly high, considering these panels only provide space saving and new designs. Values have been changed!


Gold Cells, now cost vanilla solar cell costs (3 nickel ingots, 6 silicon wafers), and 3 additional gold ingots. 8 required for small ships, while 32 required for large ships. (This is half the original mod component requirements, while almost 15% of the original ore cost.)

Black Cells also saw the same treatment. Vanilla costs, and 1 uranium ingot per cell. 8 for small ship panels, 32 for large.

Superconductors were also part of the original mod costs, but were literally FLAGGED AS OPTIONAL COMPONENTS. This has been adjusted, making Construction Components and Bulletproof Glass the optional components, same as the base game. The cost of super conductors was significantly reduced as well.

Like what you see? Give Foogs some love on his page, link in the top of the description.

Anybody notice with this mod installed that the components don't display their names when scrolling down in the assembler?

The power output was changed back to original values for vanilla panels, as well as vanilla costs. Previously the mod overwrote the current costs and made it much more difficult for new players to get even their first panel.

The gold and black panels are adjusted as well to match the original design of the mod, offering 4x and 8x power. With that in mind, gold now provides 0.64 kwh of power (previously 0.48 kwh), while black now gives 1.28 mwh of power (previous 1 mwh).

Any changes to power output?
