Solar Industrialization
by MIK0os
Solar Industrialization is a NeoForge addon for Modern Industrialization that adds five tiers of solar panels generating EU/t from sunlight.
What it does
Five panel tiers, LV, MV, HV, EV and SV, each produce more EU/t than the one before. Output follows the day: it peaks at noon, drops toward zero at night, and falls during rain. Panels in dry biomes such as deserts, badlands and savannas collect pollution faster.
Panels accumulate pollution over time, which lowers their efficiency. A Bronze Soft Brush cleans wet panels by hand, and an Electric Soft Brush recharges from Modern Industrialization's energy storage, holding 3200 EU with 10 EU per use. Energy upgrades (Basic, Advanced, Turbo) raise output and can be stacked up to 4x, while filters (Basic, Advanced, Turbo) cut the pollution rate by 20%, 50% and 70%. Panels connect directly to Modern Industrialization's cable network and storage, and their crafting components are made in its machines, including the assembler, blast furnace, vacuum freezer, centrifuge and fitting machine.
The mod requires Modern Industrialization 2.4+ and runs on Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge. Both client and server need it. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and it is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Five solar panel tiers
LV through SV panels each generate more EU/t, scaling with progression in Modern Industrialization.
Pollution and cleaning
Panels lose efficiency as pollution builds up, and the brushes restore peak output.
Energy upgrades
Basic, Advanced and Turbo upgrades increase EU/t output and stack up to 4x.
Pollution filters
Basic, Advanced and Turbo filters slow pollution by 20%, 50% and 70%.
