XPAR Elegant Solar Concentrators

Beskrivning
Released to the public for modification by XPAR

Removed solar panels (all broken)

Modified Solar Concentrators to be more balanced
Looked into the mathmatical formula to calculate the energy collected per square meter. Very complex stuff but found a common output of 2400 watts per 100 centimeters square or per 1 meter square in a vacuum. Obviously this is insufficient for Space Engineers so there was no choice but to go into the realm of Sci-Fi. I settled on a base value of approx 37 Kw per square meter which is reflected in the corresponding sizes of the blocks' occupied space starting with the base value of 3 Mw for the Largest Solar Concentrator (defalt value). I also altered the build time and components required to reflect build size.

Does this still work?

I think you did the math wrong when it comes to how much power it should produce.
I came up with:
<MaxPowerOutput>5.25</MaxPowerOutput> for the XPAR_Solar_Concen_Wide_Large.
this is how I got that number
it's 20.25 times the volume of a vanilla solar panel. (9 * 2 * 9 = 162 for XPAR_Solar_Concen_Wide_Large and the vanilla one is 4 * 2 * 1 = 8, so 162 / 8 = 20.25)
so if you scaled it by volume you would get 0.16 * 20.25 = 3.24 as the Max Power Output.
but this is a solar concentrator wich achieve 50% to at most 70% efficiency
compared to solar cells witch is only 37% efficiency
so if we say its 60% efficient that would mean you would get: 5.25 Max Power Output

ah, didnt know those were still working, cool thx

@456 I think what you're asking for has already been done. Check out Shaostoul's Comms Dish. https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=491315755

glad to see these back, would it be possible to make a version of the same model, but as a beacon, these make great deflector dish arrays

Reminder, still need feedback on build requirements and power output.

Unfortunately that takes someone with more modding knowledge and skill than myself. I've tried to get modders to fix their mods, even offering to pay, but no one is modding for money and Keen keeps changing everything.

Any chance of getting the nice curvy Solar panels back as well?

OMG THEY LIVE! I'd given up on ever seeing these things again, thank you!

Need feed back on balancing.
