Solar panels work INSIDE buildings

[JasonHunter]

Kinda silly, don't you think?

It's a perpetual device. The lamp feeds the solar panel and the panel powers the lamp. Awesome tech.

They also work in the shade, on hot planets, and produce the same amount of power all day.

They also only snap into place inside and don't do that on the roof like you might expect.

Silly is: using them inside buildings...

I appreciate the snapping into place, so I just put the aquatic wall-sized windows next to them to make me feel better about the situation.

if they snap inside the biodome it would almost make sense because you could say its to protect them from the crazy storms.

I want them to add cinder blocks, old tires and broken down cars for me to attach the solar panels to. Then my "redneck in space junkyard" look will be complete. Thanks for that Sean Murray. So immersive.

People are going to have a fit when they're nerfed to only working outside.

With as many things folks find to complain about I think its nice that HG throws us a scrap once in a while... I'm certainly not going to complain about them working inside.

Do they work in caves?

[Holce]

I think they works without taking into account where they are. So they might work in cave.

Indeed, they do. They work everywhere.

The whole power implementation is crude. I did laugh when I placed 4 down and they all looked in different directions... I didn't realise they worked inside a base as well lol. They have so much to fix in this game right now. My phosphorus mine is churning out copper now.....

best place to put them in a building they out of sight and you plug em into the building and bingo...lights come on
