Some questions on solar intensity (TC)

Post by Coruskane »

I am planning a few large complexes, but I have recently found out that TC uses solar intensities again. My previous large complexes I just ignored this fact, but now I would like to factor it in.

So...

Does solar intensity effect the output:crystal ratio (i.e. change the production function) or merely the amount per station size (i.e. scale)
?

The way things were in X2, solar intensity affected both input and output equally.

great, so it is fairly easy to factor that in. I did a search for "solar intensity" nd other related terms but I couldnt find a list showing intensity:factor (e.g. 100%=1, 150%=? etc). Do you know it?

EDIT: I found these X2 values (do they still hold???!!!!)

Sun
7.6 100% sun supplies ecells for 9.4 factories
8.5 150% sun supplies ecells for 10.4 factories
9.2 200% sun supplies ecells for 11.3 factories
10.0 450% sun supplies ecells for 12.3 factories

Sun Light:
A sector's sunlight only changes the production time of your SPP.
100% Sunlight = CycleTime: 1:58 minutes
150% Sunlight = CycleTime: 1:46 minutes
200% Sunlight = CycleTime: 1:38 minutes
450% Sunlight = CycleTime: 1:30 minutes

TC SPP yield values...

Code: Select all

  Suns |  Cycle Time   | ECs Created | Xts used | ECs / Hour | Xts / Hour |     Sector
 ======|===============|=============|==========|============|============|===================
  400% |  1:30 |  90s  |     552     |     4    |  22080.00  |   160.00   | Akeelas Beacon
  300% |  1:30 |  90s  |     552     |     4    |  22080.00  |   160.00   | Aldrin
  150% |  1:58 | 106s  |     552     |     4    |  18747.17  |   135.85   | Hatikvahs Faith
  100% |  1:46 | 118s  |     552     |     4    |  16840.68  |   122.03   | Aladna Hill
    0% |  1:16 |  76s  |     276     |     2    |  13073.68  |    94.74   | LooMancks Legacy
(These are for a SPP M)

300/400% suns are the same, I've not yet found a 200% sector in TC so have been unable to get data for that intensity.
