Eridani Always Has a Solar Panel Array for Sale | |
I consider the solar panel array a vital piece of equipment for the early game. So much so that I start-scummed each game until Starton Eridani had one for sale. This mod causes Starton Eridani to always start off with a solar panel array for you to buy. (6/1/13) Now no longer overwrites Starton Eridani. |

I agree with the solar panel array being highly important , I have said as much many times. In some of the things I have done I have added "similar" items to compensate for players but they are never quite the original.
I think you resolved the matter here, clearly.
Neat MOD, but one I probably won't use... I *like* the intensity of the early game, as I often take a ship that won't run on the cores that you commonly find, so I have to make money in a hurry so that I can travel two or three systems in and find a solar panel array.
However, for absolute newbies, this MOD is probably a "must have". I know I would have put it to good use in my early games, before I got the hang of it. :)
Important? Really? I never use it. Well, this just proves that everybody has their own preferred way of playing the game :)
I use it because I hate running out of fuel in the midst of a game that I've been playing for WEEKS... I nearly deleted the game off my thumb drive the last time that happened.
Bwahaha, I had to grin at that one. I have my own weak points due to short attention span. Mainly the cargo crates that splash acid on your cargo and the damn Commonwealth customs confiscating my loot because I forgot to jettison it before docking. Fortunately, PM seems to occupy the same mind-space as I do, releasing mods that specifically counter-act my weaknesses. My hero <3
Great game, this. Have you checked out PM's "Items912" mod? It contains an external solar panel that has 10x the energy boost, but can be damaged by enemy fire. It's a really well-balanced item in a finely-tuned mod. Also check out his Reactors912 mod with the solar-powered reactors :) :)
I've got both his Items912 and Reactors912. I love 'em. :)
You don't to override Eridani. Just have a check for when the player enters the system to look for Starton Eridani and add the solar panel array. (remember also to add it once)
I never used the Solar panel, and I play transcendence for some time (3 or 4 years), but I agree with Llwch, for newbies this extension is a Gift from the stars.....
Really? I'd assumed it was impossible after repeated failures. I'll work on making an updated version that does not override vanilla Starton eventually.
If you need help, just ask on IRC :D
Reuploaded at 151 downloads. Now no longer overwrites Starton Eridani.
Nice one. Major solar panel / solar armor user here. This is balanced to be barely a boost but still a big boon to the newbie who abhors the bothersome burden of buying backup fuel.
I think it should be considered fairly... balanced.
nice ! also, better compatibility with other mods ! :)
