Will we ever see solar panels as a lower-end power production?

A little bit of silica, crystal oscillators, etc.

would make a good solar panel early on.

Again, maybe same argument, but no.

Not planned right now, and it kind of goes against ruining the planet.

I mean, at some point, absolutely.

If it makes sense for gameplay options or just aesthetics for people who want to build.

If we have a vision for the game,

uh that we believe in but the game is being overwhelmingly approached in a certain other way absolutely there's room for us to cater to that but right now no mods for that if you want it nuclear powered everything trains are purely electric interesting okay oh yeah my my uh my no trade policy ever still rings true you can see it see right through me for trains any one of you could do my job in this chair better than i ever could so come at me fight me
