With the new IC cable loss, it should be possible to construct a fourth (256 solar panels!) iteration solar flower with zero loss.

320 panels, surely?  5 "petals" on each "bud", right?  so 5*43.
5?  MFEs don't accept 5 lanes :P
No, it's 4.
44 = 256

That, or, once again, that presentation style has made this guy a terrible person.

Look into switch cables.  No storage, but much cheaper than MFEs, and they will suck energy from the cube above them as well as the sides.  Use them as the stage-1 concentrator.

Also I seem to recall that MFEs prefer to output upwards, and if there is no cable or energy consuming machine there, they output downwards.  Generators are explicitly named as not being consumers.  This is not covered in the first post, but somewhere in the thread.  I think.

Some of the screenshots at the bottom of IndustrialCraft's first post showcase solar flowers, and they clearly have five solar generators around a single object, but I don't know what that is. It could just be a wire that's somehow feeding into the side of an MFE, or it could be an MFE directly: the recipe text file does say that MFEs can "accept electric current from all 6 sides."


There is a second (better) example a couple images above this one,but when I went to view the image itself for its URL to link here, it said the photobucket bandwidth for the image was exceed. I could still see it in the post but it may have been a cached image.

I find for changing spawns with beds, especially on SMP, it is necessary to get in the bed and Click Leave bed to set your home, not just sleep.
...How do you do this on SSP then?

It is default now, as of the latest update.

I see your flowers and raise you a solid solar panel.
Made of 417 cells (15 gaps at the edges), this should cover a modest fortress's roof.
The solar panel is seven layers tall, though you could reduce it by one (the top layer of cells) and reduce space efficiency by 20%.
It uses HV transformers and switch cables. Output is around 42000 EU/s

I can make the map available if people want it.

Q: "How do you plan on using that much power?!"
A: I don't. I just wanted to see if it was feasible to make a solid solar panel of an arbitrarily large size.


PROTIP: DO NOT FEED SOLAR PANEL OUTPUT DIRECTLY INTO ANYTHING.

If only there was a way to keep stuff from disappearing. Would love some display cases.

Nope, it's from the same thread as ModLoader (link's been posted a couple times above, too lazy to repost)

For awhile (the origin of the whole ModLoader is footnote complaint), the thread it was in was labelled 'Shelves!'

I find for changing spawns with beds, especially on SMP, it is necessary to get in the bed and Click Leave bed to set your home, not just sleep.
...How do you do this on SSP then?
Exactly the same?

There's no "leave bed" button in single player.

It's marked when you wake up. The Wake Button is only necessary in Multiplayer because it's really the only way to wake up unless everyone in the sever goes to bed.
