In this subnautica video we take a look at the best power options for your base.
Multiple solar panels subnautica.
I have a base made up of 3 multipurpose rooms 3 hallways 1 observatory 1 fabricator 1 communications relay 2 first aid kit fabricators.
A solar panel can transfer power up to 20 meters to a seabase or power transmitter only with a direct line of sight.
At lease that is what i think is happening.
So one single build has two panels each producing 125 which would give you 250 each.
If you re not getting 150 then it s possible something has bugged out or you ve built it incorrectly for example you may have built it too far away.
Yes i could look on the wiki but i have a really bad habit of browsing wikis and i want surprises about most things.
It looks like that the numbers are for each side of the solar panel.
Solar panels stack yes.
They ran perfectly on the 2 solar panels i had.
It can also be damaged and destroyed by striking it with.
The key to maintaining a steady source of energy in subnautica is making full use of external generators namely the solar panel.
More solar panels or another kind of generator is required to power other equipment such as water filtration machine and moonpool.
This placeable item absorbs lights and converts them to energy.
Which means solar panels.
They give less power the darker it gets but each solar panel holds a charge of 75 energy so as long as you have enough of them your base should still stay powered throughout the night.
If you have two then you should have a power capacity of 150.
The solar panel is a generator crafted with the habitat builder that converts light into energy it is the only power generator available by default and is best used on seabases close to the surface being relatively ineffective in deeper biomes.
One solar panel is enough to power a seabase with basic energy needs.
So your 8 solar builds has 16 panels which would give you the 2000 power you are seeing.
So i found a place i want to build my base but it will need power.
So i found the bioreactor fragments built that and now i have x 200 instead of x 100 but it still doesn t get me to 200 200 ever.
After all what good is an exploration game if you already know everything.
Litter the top of your base with them and you won t have to worry about power for quite a while.
Power transmitters can only be used to connect external energy generators solar panels and thermal plants to a single seabase.
It is constructed with the habitat builder and can be placed on any surface at any angle.
We will cover solar panels the bioreactor the thermal plant and the nucle.
It is not possible to have a single source transmit power to multiple targets mulitple seabases can not share a single power source.
