Blackrook Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Bought solar cells from the trader but then realised you still need the Solar Bank to fit them into? Can't find a recipe for this, is it deliberately missing or just bugged or am I missing something important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morloc Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You'll see them on traders after getting level 5 of the Barter perk. -Morloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranticDan Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Solar banks can rarely be found in working stiffs too. Also: I remember in early experimental that wrenching the broken solar banks would sometimes give you a solar cell but I haven't got a single one for quite some time now.

Morloc Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Ooo...didn't know about the Working Stiffs, and I agree, I used to find the cells in the earliest A17e, but have never found any since. -Morloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosterone Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Now I'm curious, can you hook up to existing solar cells you find everywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FileMachete Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Now I'm curious, can you hook up to existing solar cells you find everywhere? You'd have to test it, but from what a dev said about hooking up existing lights in POIs I'd _guess_ that you can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenpaiThatIngnoresYou Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Now I'm curious, can you hook up to existing solar cells you find everywhere? No. this was tested on the steam forums, and the testers there said it was not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrook Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks. Doh. So the actual cells show up at an earlier level of barter than the banks you need to use them. Needs a tweak me thinks. I suppose I will work to raise that barter level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have i. They sold for quite a nice sum, so i guess they first decided to remove them as harvestable, or reduce drop rate. Then make them unsellable. And then "forget" to make them harvestable again. But i really don't know the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping they add them back as harvestable, even a 5% chance as I've always liked the idea at end-game to have 2 solar banks full of cells to power and lived in home. Making the wires invisible while not holding the wiring tool would be a nice bonus too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
