That seems ridiculously cheap to me, 10/10 instead at most?

this would still be 1.2 power/silicon, whereas turbines are 12 and other generators have similar figures actually gives solar panels an use case which is using them when you have spare space and a low income of fuel-usable materials a 20x20 square of solar panels would make you 2880 power and cost 2400 lead and silicon, this can be matched by 8 turbines which would take considerably less space and are more easily scalable, if you're fine with the coal upkeep (which should be trivial) for reference, one airblast of coal supports 12 turbines, and airblasts are normally obtainable shortly after getting silicon+titanium otherwise, laser drills are only a little worse than airblasts, and those are silicon+titanium-tier

I agree buff this. In most resource-limited modes, placing this block is considered trolling. It's expensive, very inefficient, and better off place other high-end buildings than place solar panels.
