fair enough ;P
asking because that comes out to *more* power than a solar array for not much more cost before cost reduction techs

50/50 ;)

any chance for a repeatable pattern of small solar panels, in the shape of the Solar Array?

Updated, thanks

I just installed this and I love it! One thing: the "Service Slice Amphit" has a diner and not an infirmary.

v0.8
Fixed Large solar panels acting as small panels.
Moved stir+trib to Power (instead of Infrastructure).

i have the same problem like the other guy, solar grid is shown as big solar panel but only produces like the small one, no option for Stirlings + Tribby, may i suggest adding some sort of layout with artificial sun?
pastebin of my log: https://pastebin.com/sDd24tCQ

maybe it has some issues with me not having all dlc's ?
i have loaded only your mods to my new game

Mind posting a log of you placing one?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2391106222

Hm. Maybe it conflicts with other mods. K.
Anyway thanks for your work. Your mods are awesome

Looks fine to me?

Big wind turbine layout broken at all, wrong placing. Error with big solar panel that counts as small. Small wind turbine layout works fine. Didn't use others.

Works fine here.

You gotta enable mods in mod manager to use them, if that's not what's broken then saying what's broken helps me fix it (log files also help).

Mod is broken

I'll add them to the list

yes, but this layout can be used for other sizes as well

Those mega domes?

Can you please make production layouts (9 extractors per deposit). For example like this [i.imgur.com]
Maybe some connected domes like https://i.imgur.com/qvHp1Wm.png this[/url

Just came here to post the same thing...already posted to the Paradox Forums, because I thought it's some issue with Picard, but alas it seems that the large solar panel layout truly only produces two energy per large solar panel instead of the 5. It's also not just a tooltip error.

You might've found a bug with layouts... I'll have to dig around.

It also wasn't "on" this time when I started the game, despite the fact that it was in effect on a save that I hadn't enabled it on before. I'm not really sure what's going on with it lol.

A few more details: when you place the layout, they are labelled as just solar panel, and they take the same resources, maintenance, etc. as a small solar panel, but they take up space and use the large solar panel model on the map. I built a few things then placed the panel array then saved shortly after. I hope that sheds some light on the issue. There are a few oddities in the mod.

Instead of zipping all my logs, I think I will just delete them all, restart my one game, and reproduce the issue in one log.

I'll take of log file of when this happens? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2391106222

odd

Hey, I realized earlier this evening that some of the layouts misplace buildings, like if you build the "bunch of large solar panel" or what have you it builds the large panels but they have the power production of regular panels, so instead of 5 power they give you 2.

It also seems like turning the offline copy of this mod off and starting a new game does not actually remove the layouts, so perhaps the code may be duped somewhere or the game itself is doing something bizarre there--not sure.

Can I get a link to the modders discord? I can't find one anywhere that's still valid

your "first" building is at 0,0 then you get to figure out where the other buildings go (you'll need the origin hex of them, the one they rotate around). It's slow and boring if you've got a few to add.

ooo thanks. It shows but it moves when my cursor moves.
need some time to figure out how everything works :P
haven't done coding or modding before

shift-f3 I believe shows it?

I cant use 'that mod' cuz its outdated and not compatible to the current version...

Is this the github example that you mentioned?https://github.com/ChoGGi/SurvivingMars_CheatMods/tree/master/Mods%20ChoGGi/Example%20Layout%20Construction
i got ecm but I'm not sure how to see the position numbers.

Thanks a lot for making so many awesome mods for this game, saw your name everywhere when i'm checking out which mods to use.

> Is it possible to capture a build and add it as a layout?
Sure, use that mod ;)

I have an example one on my github, and you can use ecm to see the position numbers needed

How to create my own layout? I don't have a particular layout in mind but something like dome with apartment and service slice inside, self sufficient dome in different size and different variation of service slice and park slice (eg, shop, playground and nursery).

I saw a layout capture mod in nexusmods but unfortunately it is not working and not updating also (https://www.nexusmods.com/survivingmars/mods/131?tab=description) . Is it possible to capture a build and add it as a layout?

I've actually got some I was in the middle of adding then kinda gave up (lotta slow annoying math to do). so I'll take a screenshot, but no promises.

Can you add layouts for groups of six extractors with a corresponding depot and large dumping site?

Large Panel Slice has wrong icon. I've been thinking it's Large Solar Panels in a slice, not small Solar Panels.

@Ericus1 added
@eriktheangry that might take a bit

I have a late-game logistics hub layout that I like to use. What do you think? Design goal was to be compact, secure, and diverse. More or less symmetrical because I definitely like things being symmetrical. I'll typically lay these out in a grid across the map as I expand, connecting them with tunnels on the east/west sides. Sometimes another pipe along the north to connect the piping together, especially if I'm going to be building a water extractor up there. https://imgur.com/a/vJhOE8F

Can't think of much else that I build in a regular enough pattern and frequency that isn't also context/breakthrough dependent to make sense as a blueprint.

You know what else would be cool. A couple large slice variants of parks using the alleys in nice, connect paths with additional rec pieces, like a pond or garden, as alternates to the existing large park. Like these:

Thinking a diamond formation like this:

Not sure if it would be better as a 2x2 or the 3x3. And debating whether it makes sense to include the small turbines in the gaps. I usually build them, but they aren't as cost efficient.

Nah that'll work got a layout in mind?

Would this work with an array of large wind turbines? Or because they are DLC would that break people's games that don't have it?

I completely missed your post :)
Any particular layout you want for the stuff you mentioned below? Screenshot if you got it.

I'd guess the hub is just to keep an eye on the plant rather than anything else (if you're going for green across the whole map).

I would not include a drone hub and forestation plant in the same layout since they have different ranges? Although a forestation plant and seed depot would be top. Tbh a nice QoL feature from the main devs to create your own layouts in game would be nice

Addedf

How about a drone hub, general depot, seed depot and a forestation plant? That would save a bunch of clicks

I was thinking like several GHG plants, or several vaporizers, or several fuel refineries?

In a bit. I'm a bit under the weather tonight.
