Unlimited power

[Brickfrog]

Can i run a rail line east to west around a planet and have constant solar power?

I actually have a plan to do this with a solar panel and a wind generator at each section. I'm sure it will work. Maybe not on Atrox because it is so dark and windless there, however on Atrox the north obelisk is somewhat cloud free so I managed to place six platforms there with solar panels on top of the obelisk in all directions and it is producing a constant 42 U/s trouble free., I did however have to run about 75 extenders from there to my base , which was a PITA.

Short answer: Yes

There's also just putting solar power at the poles

RTG's are easy to make. Also now infinite power from organic->carbon->medium generators is pretty easy to do now and only requires tungsten as the only ingredient you can't get on sylva (without a trade platform). You could make a slightly less efficient small generator farm instead using only resin, compound, aluminium, and .. oh whats the other ingregiat for auto arms? The black spiky stuff.. doh. Anyway... as much power as you want is easy and not weather dependent if you want it to be.

more of a conscern on some of the harsher planets, atriox has a tiny setup with a few generators and a few batteries to make sure the atmosphereic condenser can actually do some work during the tiny solar windows you get.

yes and i've done it.

and, it's not that exciting unfortunately

I found an intact medium generator underground on Silva early on and have been farming a single tapper feeding an autoarm that places organic on a medium platform B with a smelter in the middle and the generator I found on the opposite side. Unlimited power at 9 u/s. Basically the same amount of power as a medium wind turbine plus a medium solar panel, except hat it runs perpetually independently of sun and wind gusts.

Also, I'm using two other tappers hooked up with auto arms nearby. One of them provides organic to the research chamber which slowly converts them into 50 research bytes each and the other tapper provides organic which goes into a container that I occasionally empty onto my backpack and print glowsticks. 4 glowsticks in the shredder = 1 scrap.

Loving the new tapper update.

I've set up rail lines to planets cores and a special train set up to help craft new tracks pieces.

Actually , i always play with the custom game mode without any starting shelter....

once arrived , i gather some resin, making oxygen filter and heading to the true north..... the north pole.....

when you arrived the northpole gateway (gateway will provide you some oxygen) , build a base at the top of the gateway , or build it at the ground and link it with extender or plenty of small wind turbine ( you will easily made small wind turbine after you've got the soil centrifuge) , research for small solars and tall platform...... build a tall platform at the top of the gateway , and place 2-4 solar at the top of the platform , if there's no high mountain
adjacent , the sun will circulate perfectly horizontal around thegateway .....then you will have infinity power for your base now........ (except for desolo which sylva will sometime block the sun , and atrox sometime blocked by the cloud)

while you having the solar stand..... i will build a medium solar or solar array at the 3 sloping edge of the gateway.....they will provide extra power with no interruption.

one of my setup photo...... i can't find a better one immediately but it show how i does..

but not available at the early stage
