Am I doing something wrong? Cables and Solar.

[the7thguest]

For some reason one of my lights won't work anymore, it's the "middle" one on the screen.
No idea why. Already tried replacing all the cables as well but nothing, it just won't light up anymore.

Second Issue, how can I turn Solar panels upon placement. I thought it's the angle that I look at the ramp while placing but for one of my 10 panels it just would not place it the way I want it to so it lines up with the other 9 that I placed without issues.

Did I miss anything, am I doing anything wrong or is it just bugging around?

So for the placement: You dont need ramps, you can just place them on a flat piece. And for the rotation: I found out its random. I just placed it a few times and then suddenly it was right. Some panels dont change at all, idk. They stay in one position

OK so long story short, not much I can du but wait for fixes, thanks guys.

Q and R to turn them

Solar panels are light sensitive, even in this game.
So make sure they get as long and as much sunlight as possible

Also consider you didn't place enough panels so far.
Check the percentage shown on the solar displays. If it is low, there's not enough power supply for everything.

It looks like yours panels aren't connected to batteries yet as well. which lowers their efficiency.
Make sure those panels are connected to each other and that they are wearing batteries.

Use alternate routes for the wires. Sometimes it's a bit buggy and those cables lack on contact.

Are they? Mine get 100w all the time bar sundown.

Also, can lights get damaged, like logs or stone structures? Perhaps it got hit by an axe or some such.

Yes, I tested it. (Without using batteries of course)
I spent the dusk on my roof, and Wattage went down according the sun setting and went up during sunrise.

But as soon as you plug batteries on them they remain at 💯

Same goes for the golf car.

I meant more actual sunlight, rather than times of day. As far as I can tell, placement makes no difference, only times of day. But tbh they always go on top of my builds so perhaps I wouldn't notice.
