pY Alternative Energy - Discussion

[LordBlackwood]

will it be possible to integrate the mod into an existing game?

[aklesey1]

U mean will it work with old saves? Answer for it can give only PY team

While I can't technically stop you from doing that its not recommended as there will be a significant number of changes across the board that will break things and itll be better to restart

Aerial Turbines. Better than stay on ground, higher altitudes have best winds. They will roam around collecting wind and deliver to the platform the energy collected.

Will any of these be pilot-able? lol

MK01 to MK04 solar panels .Granted stable and free energy during the day. Wont be easy to build.

[aklesey1]

New solar panels looks good, i except good productivity from it
And there are new electric poles below them?

[pyanodon]

And some advanced turbines We need a way to transform these fluids into energy.

[aklesey1]

Oh yeah looks great and effectively

[pyanodon]

thanks!

nice
and yes i struggle not to ask for the working parameters but something else ought my eyes:


there are 4 input/output ports do they communicate in any order?
also i see it works for building to building action but what about building to pipe to building setups?
atm such setups dont work for turbines mk1 2 3 , what about the mk4 5 ?

[pyanodon]

New labs, spoil-proof.

[aklesey1]

Wow these labs are huge cool
Pyandon, u want to make labs by analog with angel industries?

[pyanodon]

no compatibility is being planned. If it works, lucky you

[BlueTemplar]

Whoa, those look very, very cool, can't wait !

MK04 is more advanced that our common technology. Its a futuristic approach based on what people says about the future of wind turbines. Blades sux,with time they probably goes towards what jet engines do.

Any plans for something like this ?

The tower is being called the Solar Wind Energy Tower and will stand at a height of 0.8 kilometers

Or this silly looking thing ? (Perhaps not...)

EDIT : I can see how IRL not being a danger to birds would be a big plus...

Or the more traditional heat concentration solar :

also i see mk1-3 have constants footprint while mk4 is larger right ?

Looks like Mk4 >= Mk1 >= Mk2 >= Mk1 ?

Sorry cian templar guy...cant do much spoilers here

IRF panels

[DarkShadow44]

Looking great, but what does "IRF" mean?

[aklesey1]

Agree looks great
What pipes doing in this scheme?
