Layout - Artificial Sun Array

In 1 collection by Grifta

Description
The solar panel array layout for an Artificial Sun.

1) Place place the Artificial Sun in the middle, and connect it to water (wait for start up)
2) Salvage the pipes, and place the 2 Triboelectrics Scrubbers as shown.
3) Place 1 large solar panel in the gap where the pipe used to be.
4) Connect to your grid.

Note that this places ~125 buildings in a system that is meant for 1 building at a time, so there will be a moment of lag when you actually place it.

Oh, whoops this isn't my mod...
Had a bit of a brain fart yesterday I see :)

@Drak-eternal; ChoGGi is describing how to get the position data. To make your own layout, you need to use something like Notepad++ (nicer Notepad) to manually add objects and position them.

ChoGGi helped a lot with the initial mod, that's cool that they now have a nicely commented example template.

I have an example mod
https://github.com/ChoGGi/SurvivingMars_CheatMods/tree/master/Mods%20ChoGGi/Example%20Layout%20Construction

and I use ECM and shift-f3 to show hex grid numbers (I forget it if defaults to absolute or relative, use menu>debug>grids>Follow Mouse Grid Position to make it relative if needed).

Hello! What tools do you use when creating this mod?
Grifta  [author] 7 Sep, 2021 @ 3:22pm 
ChoGGi; glad to see that you're still active in this community, and thank you again for your initial help on this.

Pirate of AE; That should work now. Please let me know if there is still an issue.

They haven't touched layouts, so this should be fine with a version bump.

I don't have the asteroid mining expansion, but I'll poke at this and see if it's easy to update.

It updated, this is now whining its out of date

Yea, sorry man. This was originally just meant to be for me, and I thought I'd share it. I'll keep this mod up to date when they update the game, but I'm not really focused on this.

Good luck.

I looked through all the information, and I'll be honest... Lua is all Latin to me lol I get the basic idea of what it does, but not how (all the Y positions and stuff??) I joined the modding Discord though so maybe I'll be able to learn :)
