Stuff like this is why it might be nice if we got the power generator back with an ability for it to recharge power cells from solar power for more deep bases.
Solar panel subnautica depth.
Has anyone managed to confirm the depths listed on the wiki page.
Subnautica is an open world underwater exploration and construction game.
It can break down any organic matter into reliable energy for seabases.
I think the maximum depth for solar panels is somewhere around 400 meters and even then you need a lot of them set up to put out the power that just a couple can do near the surface.
Or if it is deep use a thermal reactor or two.
The maximum possible depth the player can reach is 8 192 meters by going down the dropoff at the crater edge.
Passing this will immediately warp the player and any vehicle they are in to lifepod 5.
The bioreactor produces 1 energy every 1 2 seconds 50 per minute with a maximum capacity of 500 units per.
Created sep 20 2013.
It has a 4 4 inventory grid to place organic items into and items placed inside it cannot be removed once placed.
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.
It is equipped with a vehicle bay capable of storing a seamoth or prawn suit and can be modified with a range of different upgrades.
Which means solar panels.
One module is powerful enough to charge a moving seamoth up to 150m depth.
During the evening it decreases in charge since it receives less light as the sun goes down.
Depth effects are disregarded in any area which has an atmosphere and in water which is inside any kind of enclosed facility.
In the upcoming stable update there will be other ways to generate power as well as solar panels becoming more expensive to build 2 titanium and 2 silicone.
8 yeh i already did that it s just inefficient.
At 54 meters long 12 meters wide and 14 meters tall the cyclops is the largest vehicle available and capable of diving to depths of 500 meters or 1700 meters fully.
The bioreactor is constructed with the habitat builder and composts organic matter into energy.
During the day the solar panel receives the most sunlight and charges the most.
So i found a place i want to build my base but it will need power.
How deep down can they work.
Leave stuff on change and stop by when you need them.
At midnight there is no charge at all.
It s reasonably quick and easy so you can make several in different places.
The solar panel is a generator crafted with the habitat builder that converts light into energy.
It can also be damaged and destroyed by striking it with.
Subnautica simulates a day and night cycle.
I build a small base with just one or two tube sections and put solar panels and battery chargers there.
The power generated by a seamoth solar charger decreases with depth.
It is constructed with the habitat builder and can be placed on any surface at any angle.
The cyclops is a player controlled submarine that is constructed using the mobile vehicle bay.
I ve got some at 300m trying to chain them with the extenders to a base at 520m deep though they seem to otherwise be not getting any light let alone 40 charge.
