Thanks for reporting the problem

I just fixed it and a new version (0.8a) should soon appear on Curse.

Note thought that the tiers of solar panel above the ones that are there by default will have the same textures as the last default tier.

This is obviously for practical reasons as I cannot provide textures for any number of tiers.

Cheers,

Solar Flux

This mod adds various tiers of Solar Panels that produce Redstone Flux.

The inspiration came from CompactSolars for IC2.
I wanted the same but for Redstone Flux production so that it would work with Thermal Expansion. Then the mod evolved and I added new features (and I'll continue). Keep reading, you'll like it!

The mod comes by default with 6 different tiers (fully configurable).

1. Produces 2 RF/tick. Internal storage 50,000. Transfer 16 RF/tick
2. Produces 16 RF/tick. Internal storage 250,000. Transfer 128 RF/tick
3. Produces 64 RF/tick. Internal storage 850,000. Transfer 512 RF/tick
4. Produces 256 RF/tick. Internal storage 4,000,000. Transfer 2,048 RF/tick
5. Produces 1,024 RF/tick. Internal storage 16,000,000. Transfer 8,192 RF/tick
6. Produces 4,096 RF/tick. Internal storage 60,000,000. Transfer 32,764 RF/tick

Just pushed version 0.6b.

I am deeply sorry for those who had already migrated to 0.6x from 0.5x and who replaced all their existing solar panels as I fixed the root cause of it. So the lowest level of solar panel will therefore disappear.

For people that did not migrate from 0.5x yet. This is actually good news as you won't have issues when migrating

Please take the time to report any issues you discover on github:

https://github.com/Nauktis/SolarFlux/issues

I already have great ideas for the next release. I just need to find some time to implement them

Working on the biggest update yet!

Tons of new features coming.

Stay tuned

I just released a fix for the Redstone Flux API. Version 0.5b

The solar panels should now charge machines as well (instead of only Energy Cells).

Let me know if you find any other problems.

Regarding more config options what would you like to see first?

I will rework the recipes and make them different depending on which mods you have installed.
For example, the 4th core needs silver to be crafted. In next release the mod will detect if silver is available or not and automatically adapts its recipes.
Might also introduce a hard vs easy recipes in the config.

Dear all,

First thanks a lot for your feedback!
"your cubes are ugly" is a bit harsh but its at least honest

But I heard you all and I think you will like it!
First, I got rid of the "ugly" textures. I hope you'll find them a bit less "disgusting"!
I also reduce the height of the blocks, they are now like the daylight sensor.
But even better, you can choose the height you want through the config file!
Make them extremely thin like covers up to the full block size.

Again, your feedback is more than appreciated.
