Mod ID is shown at the end of the web page address so in the case of this mod is 1281094173.

If you cannot see the web address bar then go to 'Settings' in the 'Steam' section of the menu above and in the 'Interface' tab make sure that ' Display Web Address bars when available' is checked/ticked.

wheres the mod id?
TanteTrude Jan 22, 2022 @ 5:47pm 
And there i was, thinking this mod doesn't work anymore...and then my brain started working again (yah, first put down the fridge and then activate the panel *facepalm). Really nice that this mod is still a thing. Thank you so much! :sr4eagle:

Thanks sooooo much for this! your a super star!

Is there anyway to stop the blue sparks when activated?
The Great Autismo Aug 5, 2021 @ 9:14am

VenomReaper Jun 18, 2021 @ 6:05pm 
Thank you Bolisaris, it works great on my server too. Hope you are well and take care :)
Muffy Jun 1, 2021 @ 2:33pm 
Works fine on my server now, thanks and take care

@Bolisaris Thank you for your hard work and we all hope you are doing well
Bolisaris  [author] May 26, 2021 @ 7:20am 
You will be pleased to know that I have recooked this mod so it works after the recent major game update, I have tested the mod on my server and it appears to be working correctly again. Let me know if you find it does not.
John Month May 11, 2021 @ 11:35am 
Is there any mode like this one?
angel52863 Mar 19, 2021 @ 3:23pm 
@Bjorki_BTE, you need to stop complaining and stop being so damn rude about it
neonguy07 Feb 26, 2021 @ 9:32am 
same no radial menu
P3T3R [ITA] Feb 11, 2021 @ 6:02am 
Yeah i can't use radial menu
Bacon Overlord® Feb 11, 2021 @ 1:20am 
For anyone curious and trying to find this answer: This mod is not working after WC broke all the radial menu options.
Banana Jan 29, 2021 @ 8:55pm 
Don't stress about an update for this, it's not breaking games, it is just an extremely convenient and exceptionally well made mod that's not functioning right now. Your health is much more important than any video game mod. Sending good vibes and thank you for all the work you've done.
VenomReaper Jan 28, 2021 @ 10:37am 
Hi Bolisaris, I just hope you beat the cancer and hope the best for you!
I found when I did look into other generator mods (although this one is my favourite and I would prefer to stick with it) that other mods are having the same issue after that ARK update.
With that, it perhaps may be something that can be fixed in another update on its own.
A friend once explained to me that updates can change code for something completely unrelated and it is like fix one thing and something else may mess up! hahaha
Take care and time to recover well :)
The Great Autismo Jan 26, 2021 @ 2:16pm 
youre health is more important, wishing you lots of luck and hope you beat the fuck outa cancer

@Bjorki_BTE - Quote-I think it's mostly that some mod authors are courteous enough to put the ID in the description instead of making people find it themselves, let alone being so condescending about it.-Unquote.

I am not being condescending at all, if you were a modder you would understand the frustration of always being asked for the ID and usually in a nasty way, look at the message just before yours it simply says Mod ID? - no please thank you or kiss my ass, just a demand for the ID, we are not here to pamper to you, we provide the mod the least you as users can do is look for the ID in the address.
Bolisaris  [author] Jan 26, 2021 @ 6:33am 
Hi guys, I like to come on from time to time to see if my mods are still functioning, I am sorry to see that this one seems to be malfunctioning after a game update.

As I have not played the game for over 18 months now due to illness i am afraid you will all have to wait until such time as I am well enough to take a look, I am not sure when that will be or indeed if it happens at all.

The reason for the delay is that I have Bowel cancer which has turned into metastatic cancer (for those who are not familiar with that term it is when the cancer spreads from the original location to appear throughout the body.) I have had 3 major operations since 2016 and I am due for a 4th around mid March this year, I have just finished 10 months of intense chemo which has NOT helped. So please have patience and bear with me, I am trying to get back to Ark modding.
The Great Autismo Jan 19, 2021 @ 8:33pm 
guys the author is dealing with personal stuff right now, he got real bad cancer and cant fix it
John Month Jan 19, 2021 @ 6:28pm 
It seems like I'm not the only one with the new problem. Can we get it fixed please?
VenomReaper Jan 17, 2021 @ 10:32am 
I write it malfunctioned after the large ARK patch because it worked fine last week. Just thinking it may be what caused something.
VenomReaper Jan 17, 2021 @ 10:28am 
The same occurrence as with {DCMT} Hero is happening on my own server after the latest large ARK patch. I placed something to have it powered by the panel, walked to the panel and only saw the option to pick it up.
I love this mod as well, and hope it can be updated to fit with whatever happened with that ARK patch.
Hero Jan 16, 2021 @ 11:35pm 
Hi, Love the mod it has become a main stay in my private server every time we start up a server. Recently we moved to Valguero and just got to the point that we were able to build panels, but they do not seem to work, All I get it the pickup option no turn on or range options. The only thing I have done differntly in server settings is enable the ability to pick up anything. Any advice?

Bolisaris  [author] Jan 1, 2021 @ 6:33am 
When are people going to realise that the id number for any mod is the set of numbers after the

?id= in the web link!!

In this case the address is ....

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1281094173&tscn=1609167698

So the mod id is 1281094173.

It is not rocket science.
!⌬! rexbr !⌬! Dec 28, 2020 @ 7:01am 
mod id?
Bolisaris  [author] Aug 17, 2020 @ 11:19am 
Thank you.

*fingers crossed for a positive response to treatment and rest/recovery to health*
Bolisaris  [author] Aug 15, 2020 @ 2:11pm 
It all depends on this latest course of Chemotherapy if it is successful and starts to reduce the tumours I will have further surgery and hopefully return to modding the game, but if the tumours do not respond to the chemo it will be palliative care only (terminal) and yes if this happens I will release the source code to the community for ALL my mods.
KriegTiger Aug 9, 2020 @ 8:38am 
Oh no :( Best wishes for your health and recovery! Definitely rooting for you!

This mod has been a great help and game changer for the headache that was ARK electrical up to this point. If these could power things on platforms this mod would be just about perfect.

Any chance you'd be willing to release the code to the community so someone can pick up where you left off?
FriMaeu Mar 8, 2020 @ 5:42am 
@Bolisaris So its bad luck for us. Get well soon buddy!
Bolisaris  [author] Mar 6, 2020 @ 7:02am 
I no longer play this game and cannot in all honesty say that I will be supporting my mods in the future, this along with long term ill health I doubt I will return to modding the game. Sorry folks
merilia Mar 2, 2020 @ 2:53pm 
leider funzt die mod seit genisis nicht mehr..
Truci Feb 29, 2020 @ 8:16am 
Does anyone else have problems with new produced solar panels since the genesis patch? My new produced panels don´t do anything.
Neptune Jan 22, 2020 @ 3:25am 
Thank you very much for this Mod I can not play without solar power :) I wish you all the best !
WolfCat Jan 9, 2020 @ 8:08pm 
my prayers go out to you. be strong. don't worry about the mods. your recovery is the main focus
Hirnsausen Sep 9, 2019 @ 6:41pm 
Oh nooo. This is a sad news (cancer). I wish you very very much a good success with the healing. Yes, take all the time you need. Totally understood, and most important!
Bolisaris  [author] Sep 9, 2019 @ 12:33pm 
I am at present fighting peritoneum cancer so it will be some time before I am back, I am going into The Christies Cancer Hospital in Manchester soon for treatment so hope to be back in maybe 3 or 4 months ready to battle with the kit, see you all then hopefully.
Nouvi Sep 1, 2019 @ 9:25am 
Not sure how much you've looked into the parts with making it automatically turn off at night and such, but would like to mention that S+ does have some code you could peek at on their lamps/torches since it's open source.

Other than that, I believe I forgot to tell just how great this mod's been. Been using it since you first launched the old v1 cabled panels... and it's still a regular in my mod list. Thank you for making it.
Hirnsausen Aug 30, 2019 @ 7:35pm 
Yes, some idiot stealing - that can happen. But too many would know, that your mod is the original. Even by date it would predate the copy.

It would be however a much greater and far more serious problem for your fan community, if your items disappear and therefore functionality and structure would disappear from many games.
Bolisaris  [author] Aug 30, 2019 @ 12:15am 
That would be an option of-course, if you knew how to do that and besides I may come back to it later and would hate to see someone claim all my hard work as their own.
Hirnsausen Aug 18, 2019 @ 10:58pm 
Thanks, much appreciated! :-)
Hope you're doing fine. I found out that while they can be placed onto raft-based structures, they don't deliver energy. Wired solar panels help me for now, but being able to soon use wireless panels, would be much nicer.

Also be careful with the Mod Development Kit, it is known to far too often crash harddrives of modders and causing therefor loss of all developer files. Best to keep file copies on another harddrive. And once you decide to abandon a mod, please make it available on GitHub for your fan community so they can continue to update and upgrade your mods. The Steam Workshop is full with modders who lost all files and gave up. :-)
Bolisaris  [author] Aug 18, 2019 @ 4:09am 
I will take a look once I am motivated to open the editor again, it was a PITA to work with a few months ago, kept crashing for no good reason, that put me off modding the game, but will take a look soon.
Hirnsausen Aug 16, 2019 @ 1:00pm 
Just seeing, that you mention the problem already in the description above. :-)
Please work on that. :-D
Hirnsausen Aug 16, 2019 @ 12:57pm 
I have them on my raft, but it seems when being on a raft, the electricity they generate is not forwarded to the other items. This is what I used:
- Hughmungus Raft
- Wireless_Solar_Panels_V1.2

And as receivers I tried
- HG Shield Protection V1.31
- Central HVAC - Heating & Air Conditioning
- Ascended Lamp
- Better Lights

On land, every things. On a raft, energy is not received, items remain "unpowered". Can you check on this?

These solar panels are a great and useful mod. But make them paintable, if possible, and increase their maximum range. The raft I am building is ... huge. :-)
drmskr Jun 6, 2019 @ 1:35am 
Yea, I just tried today. It's a no go. Ended up using a standard generator. But still primarily use the solar for land bases.
Bolisaris  [author] Jun 5, 2019 @ 11:48pm 
not tried them on saddles so cannot say
