(What is seen from this example is that on Class D and F planets, generating just 67% more power than what is used results in a perfect balance of full charge vs full discharge of Power Collectors, because it is more efficient to charge Power Collectors during the day and to discharge them at night. During the night: 18 * 20 * 12 = 4320 kJ of electricity are discharged.They are accessible from the Challenges menu in the title screen. During daytime: 12 * 30 * 12 = 4320 kJ of electricity are stored From version 1.2, Planetbase supports the creation of Challenges, which are custom scenarios that provide specific starting conditions and objectives.30 kW of electricity are being produced by a Solar Panel.18 kW of electricity are being consumed.On Class D and F planets, electricity ticks only 20 times per minute during the night. Excess/deficit power is then applied to the Power Collector(s). During each tick, every building's listed power rating is subtracted from the Power Grid (or added in the case of Solar Panels & Wind Turbines). In Planetbase, electricity 'ticks' 30 times per minute. Electricity is required to power structures and components placed within structures.Įlectricity can be produced by solar panels and wind turbines as well as stored using power collectors.
