Rimworld Solar Panel Wind Turbine

As for flat trees and things hurt the productivity of turbines and hence super awesome.

Rimworld solar panel wind turbine.

It works day and night compared to a solar generator which only works during the day. An important thing to note is that neither solar panels nor crop fields block the turbines and so can be placed in their wind zones for compact. Power output is a direct product of the daytime light level. They also need lots of space so place solars in their exclusion zones.

The wind will be weak when you most need it but they re excellent when buffered by a large battery bank. It works day and night compared to a solar generator which only works during the day. Wind has higher max output but is almost always changing on the other hand it is immune to eclipses. It can be placed in a wind turbine s exclusion zone with no effect on the turbine.

Solar generators may be protected by surrounding them with walls but they must stay unroofed to operate. A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather. Solar panels supply 1700w during the day while turbines can supply up to 3000w max and will work both day and night. Wind turbines make a hell of a lot of power but unpredictably.

For example at 50 daylight a solar generator produces 850w of its 1700w maximum. Geothermals make a lot of power but are very expensive need research and can only go on steam vents. Both need batteries to ensure 24 7 power demands met. The big downside to turbines is the large amount of clear ground they require.

Solar makes a bit less but you can place them infront of and behind wind turbines. Just make sure you leave space so you can get to the wind turbine later when it breaks down. Geothermal must be placed on geysers but works at full strength 24 7 unless a solar flare hits. Just as long as the turbine itself is in the zone.

If the colony has no other backup power source it is highly recommended to keep some additional batteries behind a power switch on a separate network see hazards above so they can be brought online in the case of a short. Wind turbines on average produce more power than solar panels however they do it sporadically where as solar does it on a regular cycle. A wind turbine produces a variable amount of power up to 3450w based on the current wind speed for wind conditions see weather.
