Sounds like this could be an idea for a new research option like "Lamps with motion sensor" ;-)

A fine possibility to save some rare energy :-)

And additionally, solar flares should not happen while in an eclipse too ;-)
I don't understand. An Eclipse does not turn the Sun off, merely prevents light from reaching the Earth. Solar radiation can still effect electrical devices.

The dangerous part of a solar flare are the fast and loaded particles (ionized gas/plasma) thrown torward the little moon which in case of an eclipse is hidden behind a huge gas giant so straight traveling particles can't easily reach your base. At least it would get heavily weakened by the heavy magnetic field of an gas gigant between your base and the sun.

But a +1 for a Sun-Telescope for predicting solar flaressome hours before it happens

General Discussion / Re: Incompatible Savegame file?

Since this is all pre-alpha and everything can change at any moment it would be better to get used to it until a stable final release or at least beta version is available ;-)

Also, the message only tells you it is possible to expect bugs and incompatibility, it don't has to be ... so calm down and enjoy testing a new game

Ideas / Re: AI Director between friendly and classic.

Looking forward to the new build!

An AI like "Pacifist Pete" would also be great, challenging but without so much fighting apart of wild animals.

As the list of possible events gets longer I think Cassandra Classic will also use less raids.

I like this idea, of course manually priorizing a task should always work, even if they are taking a break :-)
