@lonely_grass Only mountain roofs should do that afaik

So, will this roof cause insects to breed?
Or is it a problem with my other mods?

whoever have un-working solar controller that's already properly connected to panels, simply reload the save and problem solves.

@mile Nvm I'm a moron. Just tested it again, it turns out the south part of the Solar Controller can't be pushed up against the wall. And I know, I just wanted to document it incase someone runs into the same problem as me. Idk why that's the case, but I double checked that it was daytime too.

@PeskyEddieTTV In my tests it works as long as the controller is built first and under the solar roof it should be controlling

I checked, and it's not just that the solar controller needs to be built first. Apparently, the controller needs to be built indoors too.

You're right, an interesting feature

@Screaming Chicken No, you just need to build the controller first, then the roofing over it.

Perhaps it could be mentioned in Compatibility

Solar roofs seems to conflict with other mods, causing the output to be 0 W, and the problem disappears after reload.

@VirtualZer0 Yes, and my response was that it doesnt happen with only this mod loaded so they should try to find out what mod is causing it. You can use this advice as well

Transparent roofs only let in 50% of the light, making it impossible to grow plants underneath. This problem has already been mentioned by someone in the comments.

you have to replace it with not thick roofing...

I was hoping that removing mountain roof, and replacing it with thick stone roofing would stop infestations. It doesn't :(

@,,,,, Please see the Reporting Issues section described above

i have a solar controller and everytime the sun goes down my colony dont have any power even with full batteries

Just a head's up. I'm seeing a weird interaction with this mod which is causing blueprints to ignore underlying objects. eg: building a wall or a fence will go straight over rock/trees without removing the rock/tree beforehand.
I don't know what's causing the unwanted behaviour right now, I'll need to finish doing isolation tests.

Like some others, just wanted to report that the solar controller didn't work until I saved and reloaded. Easy enough of a fix. Love the mod. Great work! This was in Dev Mode though, as I was just tinkering with new mods.

tried it all, didn't work, I assume it might be a mod conflict but I aint seeing any errors on my console.

@chrismmar Try the other way around, or reload the save.

solar roofs seem bugged, I built the roof first, then the controller, still produces 0 watts

@Mlie, I was mistaken. All thick roofs made from modded stone materials disappear after the save reload. It’s definitely a bug. Only vanilla materials work fine.

@RebelKillSwitch Place the roofs first, then the controller

weird, fresh research, controller placed, roofs placed. 0 watts generated.. reload save, no issues.

There seems to be incompatibility with Industrial concrete mod. It’s designated as a “stone” material and you can build thick roofs with it, but those roofs disappear after the save reload. Other stone roofs seem to work fine, so it’s probably a problem with the material itself. I’m posting it here just in case Mlie can figure out what’s going on and fix it.

@jonilgz You can choose if you want the roofs to require maintenance or not

The menu option for maintance means you dont need to do maintance or that maintance wont be automatic?

thats odd, you are right. I tried to rebuild the room and it become "inside" - weirdly though, there is no build roof marker on the tiles.

eh, as long as it works.
thank you for your help.

@RoriconKnight No, it counts as inside

does transparent roof makes the game thinks the room still "outdoor" as if it had no roof?

kinda bizzare I'd say. the main use for this transparent roof is for a greenhouse-like farming setup but being outdoor and subjected to outside temperature is not exactly a greenhouse.

I get it. Thank you.

@皇姑屯耐炸王 It depends on the order you build it. When I test it, building the controller first and then build the roof over it usually works.

Thank you very much

Hello, although it's not a major issue, the solar controller only takes effect after reloading the save file. I hope to be able to fix this problem.

Thank you, I though I had it right, turns out was a load order problem, I got it to work now, Thanks :)

@Mask of Humble Just needs to be under the solar roof to connect it to the power grid.

How does the solar controller work? I have it in the building that has the solar roof and its connected to the power

Not sure if this is an error - my pawns will safely remove normal roofs, but anytime they try to remove thick roofs they exhibit vanilla behavior and crush themselves. I'm using Smarter Construction.

Not sure if this is just a patch order issue or something, but I know you maintain a shitload of updated mods, so I'd be willing to look at patching it myself if this isn't intentional.

@King It lets more light in when I try it at least so you seem to have some mod issue

"Transparent roofs that let almost all light through." It still says lit: 50%. Is anyone else having the problem? Neither this nor the windows mod lets more than 50% of the light in, meaning it is impossible to create a greenhouse.

請問一下，為甚麼我把太陽能控制器蓋在太陽能屋頂下，卻不能產生電力？有甚麼特別的要求嗎？

@Mlie Solved, the solar controller must be installed under the solar roof. Excuse me, author.

anyone able to make a mod or a version of this where you dont need to maintain the thick roofs? i tend to play usually industrial age and i find it kinda dumb that you build tough as hell walls but oh no your roof is corrugated metal lets just crash through it, kinda annoys me if anyone get what i mean? please let me know if there is a 1.5 compatible mod like that already or not, actively looking

Thank you pawelik001 for posting reloading fixes them! now my solar is working.

solar roof not working :(

Glad to see that not only this is being continued, but that the comments aren't being arbitrarily blocked.
