Not 100% decided yet, but probably the recipe will be altered to the old one (2 circuits instead of 2 cables) again and eventually i will add the “dust” feature, causing Solar panels to slowly produce less EU over time, requiring players to run across their solar fields cleaning them.
As well i think about adding code similar to crops, causing solars to break if walked upon.

Let me guess: that is the reason Killerbeez does those?

Solar will be nerfed slightly to discourage people from spamming them all over the place. IC² is meant to be an SMP-mod as well, and currently Solar is one of the “easiest” energy generation concept, creating vast lag to servers however.
Would much more love people to set up 20 nukers instead of 2000 Solar Panels.

Al, Have you looked into the idea of buying fraps and do previews of the new updates?

Honestly? I wouldn’t mind there being some kind of damageable item in the top slot, as long as it was around the cost of a carbon net. Not too cheap, but not too expensive either.

I hope Al will not take the ideas to nerf Solars seriously, everything is balanced as it is and solars are very expensive to make. If people whining about lag on servers here’s my answer. I run small server for friends and it got terribly laggy when arrays started to grow, but then AN INDUSTRIALL EFFICIENCY APPEARS. There problem solved.
