Hey,

I have seen that the energy-production graph for the solarpaneels not show max value by max production

170 * 60 ~ 10MW and max, but the bar just show ~50% Just a minor flaw

The graph and bars on the right don't exactly show how much power that item produces individually. Instead it shows you each item grouped together as an entire sum. You are producing approximately 30MW. Your Steam Engines are the most, at approximately 20MW, and you have Solar Panels producing 10MW. The Solar panel production is compared to the Steam Engines, and is producing approximately half as much power as your Steam Engines. This is why the bar is only at 50%.

It's comparing each item to the highest item in the group (electric network production in this case)

Got it,
thank you.
