Solar Tower 2062:863
Contributing Green Energy towards the future
Surround with rings of Solar Reflectors
The Reflectors increase the internal heat value of the Tower (see below for formula)
Each Reflector ring increases tier, the first ring is required for the Tower to work
Input: Solar Salt (Cold)
Output: Solar Salt (Hot)
Every cycle (10 seconds), heat increases and all the Cold Solar Salt is heated
Converting Cold to Hot Solar Salt reduces heat, equal to the amount converted
This conversion only happens if heat >= 30000 and controller efficiency = 100%
If there's more Cold Salt than heat, all the heat is used up and returns to 0
The heat increase is most efficient at exactly half of maximum heat
Minimum efficiency at 0 or 100000 heat, maximum efficiency at 50000
Heat Efficiency formula: (:currentHeat - 50000: ^ 0.8 + 7000) / 7000
Heat gain per cycle: numberHeaters × heatEfficiency × (10 + bonus)
Bonus: 1 ring = +1, 2 rings = +2, 3 rings = +4, 4 rings = +8, 5 rings = +16
Total number of reflectors based on how many rings are built:
1 ring = 36, 2 rings = 88, 3 rings = 156, 4 rings = 240, 5 rings = 340
