Solafite generator not working.

[Skullys Corner]

I can get the solafite generator to work but it is not producing any solafite. I let it run for about 30 irl minutes and none were generated. Watched videos on it and in my game it is not doing the same as others.

Having the same problem. Though in my case since I'm still building a massive house, I get away from its render distance very very often, maybe that's a factor on whether it makes solafite at all.

Actually I figured it out. I play a custom game with my days set to long. It takes a long time to generate on long days. I bet if set to realistic, it could take weeks to generate one solafite.

I've played for some 7-14 days so far in a normal save and nothing though. if that's how it works we'll be getting a single sad chunk of solafite every 2 months or so..

There's a Solafite generator? Guess I was too busy mining it by hand using the pickaxe.
Already upgraded all my main weapons and even Virginia's pistol and shotgun.

I FIGURED IT OUT. YOU HAVE TO ACTIVATE IT WITH THE ARTIFACT. *agony scream*

edit: not sure if it was activating that or activating the item plater, but doing so summons a gang of mutants. BE PREPARED.

edit2: the item plating is the one that spawned the mutant gang, activating the solafite generator sees to have spawned only 2 virginias. lesson learned: anything with solafite is a death sentence to the unprepared

edit3: please god only use these FAR away from your base and litter the entire surrounding area with traps, i've had to deal with a literal medieval siege here this is awful. even normal cannibals came along to help, this is worse than the hell cave

Hehe yeah you kinda need to turn it on to work. Yes it is crazy when plating. I was using the generator and the plating at the same time. Got a mix of mutants and cannies. The cannibals did seem to be helping. I will have to send them a thank you card and a fruit cake filled with grenades.

I suppose thats why it would be good to build it on one of the tiny pieces of land in the middle of a lake, or on a high peak somewhere.

I didnt see many mutants, if at all. It was mostly just cannibals who kept showing up to fight. The plater brings in alot of mutants though which is why its suggested to build that somewhere they cant easily reach you lol.

It should work for most equipment, you also need to refill the Solafite for every use.
I already upgraded my Katana, Cross, Fireaxe, and Guns including Virginia's set.
