Optimal production with my world settings would be 5 10 of both panels and accumulators.
Factorio solar panel production.
Such as the wiki reddit and factorio discord from which this is all based on.
Proper handling of oil products.
1 salt evaporation pond to create salt for heat storages.
After the initial production to catch up with surpass steam i just limit production via logistics network to 10mw of additional capacity and stamp down more solar panel field blueprints as needed.
It is a seamless connection to the next part.
The combination of solar panels and accumulator will fully use the grid.
Default production multiplier 10 100 1000.
Based on advanced electric mod but toned down.
0 18 v1 2 2 fixed entity icon graphics v1 2 1 version change for 0 18.
You may find an essay on the subject which outlines the techniques used in this calculator here.
3 new basic heat exchangers for mid game not intended for nuclear power use a cheaper thermal conduit for early game.
First tier is 5x power second tier 5x the first.
Solar panels and accumulators optimal ratio.
The optimal ratio is 0 84 21 25 accumulators per solar panel and 23 8 solar panels per megawatt required by your factory this ratio accounts for solar panels needed to charge the accumulators this means that you need 1 428 mw of production of solar panels and 100mj of storage to provide 1 mw of power over one day night cycle.
3 heat storages based on molten salt technology.
Adds higher tiers of solar panels and accumulators.
My searching abilities has only gotten images of actual solar farms not factories for producing these two components.
A huge thanks to to all the contributors on github as well as the community who made the previous cheat sheets and other resources.
Two more tiers of solar panels and accumulators.
This means one solar panel produces an average of 42 kw over one day and night cycle.
It has the nearly optimal ratio.
Solar panels and accumulator combination.
4 thermal solar panels that produce heat instead of energy.
Oil refinery storage tanks and battery production example.
Huge kudos to anyone that can help me out.
Redid graphics and technology structure and costs.
Solar panels are an unlimited source of free energy that produce no pollution.
This is a compendium of the most common factorio facts as of v1 0 release.
Generated power will increase decrease linearly during dusk and dawn and no power is produced at night.
3 new steam turbines for mid game.
Makes space efficient solar farms viable and reduces the hassle to place as many panels.
Designing production lines is a huge headache for me so i enjoy finding schematics of proven effective designs and building them.
During daylight hours every panel provides the maximum power level 60kw.
Features of this calculator include.
This calculator is the result of a few years worth of fooling around off and on with performing calculations using factorio s recipe graph.
