Thermal Solar Power

factorio-thermal-solar-power

by Marximus Maximus (<https://marximus.com>)

Adds the ability to build a thermal solar complex an early game solution for clean energy; automatically adjusts the heat exchangers temperature to produce steam in the same temperatures as with Bob's Power.

Note: Thermal Solar Panels take time to heat. Heat pipes will waste heat as they transfer heat. Molten Salt Heat Accumulators take A LONG time to heat up and will bottleneck early heat generation -- you only really need them if nights in your game are long; vanilla game/Nauvis nights are short enough to not need them.
