→Coal v Solar: The debate
There is also [[Solar power plant| another]] facility that creates energy! Solar power plants also exist, and there can be issues with picking which one you might want if you are a newbie. The question is: Which one do you pick? On one hand, you have the coal mine requirement for a coal power plant but it gets 45x more energy every 90s. On the other hand, solar has no inputs but it has less output than that of the coal power plant.
Coal is power plants are better if you have a supplier of coal. However, not everyone can just buy coal from the live market (Shortage of resources becomes a factor.) so solar is the best option for full idle, "I have no market connections" type of people.
uu tech used to make coal better than Solar in terms of grabbing coal detector uu but for a self-sustain build, coal detector uu is slightly worse than just pure solar farm. This may change if an update makes + assets also usable like regular items.
