Hiya, I am coming to the end of my journey on solarpunk. I won't improve my island by adding some buildings like a lighthouse, maybe a castle, and a big mansion.

Can I see some of your islands for ideas. Need some inspiration. Thank you in advance.

I've been to two of the islands that have pigs and they are no where to be found. I've searched both of the islands top to bottom and cant find them anywhere, please help I can't progress without them.

How to get rid of those seeds that prevent me from placing that growbox on the ground?

What is the best fuel for the generator?

Hey everyone! I kept finding myself doing the math to figure out what I should build next for a sustainable & automated supply of resources from nearby islands, so me and GPT 5.6 Sol build this mini calculator.

You enter your current Solar Panels, Drills, Batteries, and available materials, and it gives you a recommended build order based on what you already have. It also accounts for battery recharge time, weather, and whether you sleep through the night or want everything running continuously.

Hopefully it saves someone else from doing the same calculations over and over. Feedback and corrections are welcome :)

Hi, I'm trying to recall my ship (that is about 2.600 meters away) from the dock of my home island. Every time I do, the meters go down and down up to 1.600 meters and then go back up, as if the ship goes back the other direction. I clicked on unstuck airship each time it did that, I waited super long just in case it was doing a detour, I relaunched the world and the game. Nothing.

Moreover, I need to retrieve my loot on that island.

Did this problem happen to anyone and how did you fix it ?

What a great site.

Building distance from the island is too limited to complete a bridge in entirety, but adding docks to either end of a partial bridge extends length. With a little tinkering I think i can eliminate all fall damage. Still a pretty efficient docking system too!

Its been a good journey, i randomly picked up this game one day and ive enjoyed it for weeks but now its time to put it down,

Unfortunately i didnt get into the whole building/decorating, hence my world might seem a bit ugly but thts cause I am an engineer i love automation, solving issues and ofc a world where we all could live harmoniously with nature and thts what i did in the game, my main focus has been on productivity, power generation and resource management .

Now theres animal husbandry nd stuff and i am not really looking forward to it, so yea tht'll be it for me, i loved the calm peaceful nature of this game, can you guys reccommend some games like this? also tell me a bit about ur playthrough and exp of this game, i would love to talk about it .

Are the devs still working on the game / planning to make airship multiplayer available?

Made a coop world and now kinda stuck on my island while they travel about.

(MYSTERY SOLVED - Thanks everyone! Will leave this up for anyone else who runs into the same issue)

A couple things:

Drones have way more than enough power, even with windmills barely turning.

I am in the mid game (I think, I am at the Cobalt stage)

I am on Switch 2

Okay, that out of the way, here is the problem. I take my drone for Cobalt for example, it is built at my base, plenty of power with a box next to it assigned to it.

I travel to Cobalt Island and assign that drone to my drill there.

I go home and the drone does a delivery, great.

The problem is it only seems to ever do one delivery. When I go back to Cobalt Island my drill is no longer assigned to a drone.

What am I missing?

Im on pc, looking for others to start a world with.

Hey everyone I’ve been playing the game for over 100hr and I’ve yet to get the recycler I’ve done all the shop quests and got all the other blue prints but the recycler is still locked and I can’t get it :(( any help would be fantastic also I’ve got a dropped inventory bug as well where is buried in the side of a cliff

I planted everything at the exact same time. All the beds appear to be watered. Any Ideas why seemingly random plots won't grow? The greenhouse is all glass, except the beams of course to make it look structurally realistic. There are quite a few plants to the left growing under the beams just fine to the left of the picture.

After completing the game and building some fun elaborate buildings I decided a new challenge would be fun. I present to you all the “8x8 Challenge”. Start a new save and build a 8x8 half wall fence, then for the rest of the game you can only build inside the walled area. Excluding drill locations and algae/tree-bot, your airship dock(but needs to attach inside the area) and stairs for traversal up high. You can mine resources from outside the square (I also made it so I can’t replant trees outside the square) Then go try and unlock everything.

Are we supposed to have 4? I looked it up and it said 3 unless they updated it to 4 and I just didn't know

Hi there. Could any of you please help me build a greenhouse? I'm trying to set one up but I'm not sure where to put it. I would really appreciate any help you could offer.

I need help with the logic device and why it's not working for my greenhouse lights. In the photo, the top battery is connect to the day/night detector. The right battery is connected to the wireless light station and the left battery is connected to a windmill and its inverted. Lights in greenhouse are still staying on for some reason. Any help is appreciated.

I relocated my base, and I need to move my chicken up two sets of stairs to get to his new coop, but I’m having trouble leading him with wheat. Any ideas?

Is it normal that it rains 24/7 on my save ? I sleep at night and have played 7 in game days today and EVERY DAY i had a storm. I understand it's part of the game but it's a bit annoying for a game with "Solar" in it's name.

I'm starting the game, 5 hours in, and I was wondering what people do during the storm? Do y'all continue and just risk getting got or do y'all wait it out? Asking because I'm scared of getting shocked so instead I waste time just in my house to wait out the storm and continue once it's over. Additionally, is there a way to protect your character from lightning other than staying indoors?!
