Sun Lamps power off at night

[slamo]

Rather than having the plants rest, just have the sun lamps automatically turn off at night. Would be a huge power saver.

Or make a programmable timer switch. =)

a programmable switch timer would be a great asset. One where the player sets the times.

Check out the power switch mod, it has this option in it. Would love to see it in vanilla though, +1

Agreed, vanilla needs this. One of those nice "quality of life" improvements for the game.

YESSS!

Alternatively you can separate two solar panels from your power grid and use them to power a sun lamp. Power shuts off at night, so does the lamp.

That is ingenious! I've been wasting boatloads of power during the night

could I just genetically modify some plants to never need to rest. to produce more. to grow faster. to balance this you could make them more likely to blight, or they could not take t the gene mods and just die. it could be super expensive to research and do. but worth so much for food production. this would be really handy for ice sheets. you could maybe mod you colonists too. imagine it. power armour R-4 wielding psycho with 150% running speed, 3x the melee power, and an ability to survive several seconds longer after a fatal injury. welcome to the world, doctor badass
