psusi Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I've taken to keeping a layer of glass windows above my solar panels to catch falling regolith from the blast doors so I can open them and get most of the light before having to take the time to clean it all up ( seems to never get finished until just before the next meteor shower ). Will this work over a telescope or does it block that? I don't want it to overheat from falling regolith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 unfortunately glass does block telescopes build the telescope out of steel and you shouldn't have any overheat problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureJohny Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Or just switch to mesh tiles instead of the glass, telescope and scanner can see through just fine and it does not reduce light intensity to panels like glass does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 You might consider this exploity, but you can build the telescope on horizontal doors and use automation to open the doors when your bunker doors open and let the regolith fall thru to a glass floor underneath.

You can use Mesh Tiles instead of glass tiles, it blocks the regolith and let a total visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats kinda dumb that glass isnt see through but that works fine. :/ I noticed air tiles let light through as well however so maybe that would work too.

Sasza22 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I`m sure they will fix the mesh tiles not blocking light. It blocks light from lamps but not natural. I think they intended for them to block sunlight but something went wrong in the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
