Algae Farm not working

[Scurvy]

It's the middle of the day on Earth like. I have plenty of power all on one grid but the algae farm output is still N/A and 0% progress. Nothing is blocking it, it stands away from everything else for light

Hi, can you share some Steam screenshots of your "not working" setup ?



I can share my setup that is working, I use 2 Algae Farms with 2 O2 Farms on 3 rotors/2 CTC blocks to track the sun and I can tell it's faster when perfectly aligned with the sun.

Is the algae farm connected to the grid? No blocks will operate without power from a grid.

How's the weather? Cloudy or rainy days have less sunlight.

It uses a variation of the Oxygen farm model, and has the same general requirements - one of the sides that is all glass (rather than glass with a metal line) must be pointed at the sun. It seems like the entire surface of the glass should work, but it doesn't, the same way a solar panel gives no power when it is edge-on to the sun.

Thanks everyone and Dan. This appeared to be my issue
