el mod no funciona

This interferes with the actual solar panel mod. the battery bank breaks and it is impossible to actually use the panels. Therefore I will be promptly removing this from my load order for the foreseeable future.

would it be possible to tweak the Flat Solar Panel building menu ingredients list to not require metal bars? the regular recipe doesn't have them so it just seems like an unnecessary cost

you don't need the magazine.
if the tab does not appear please check your mod loader
or check if the required mods are turned on or not

i dont know if i have to find a magazine or not, but the tab doesnt seem to appear in the menu
