Tower Construction

Start by building a tall vertical structure—stone, metal, or any solid blocks work fine. The height gives you more surface area for mirrors to track and redirect sunlight. Place your Solar Power Tower block at the top or center of this structure.

Positioning Solar Mirrors

1. Place Solar Mirrors in an open area around your tower where they have clear sky access.

2. Mirrors automatically track the sun's movement throughout the day.

3. They redirect light toward your Solar Power Tower, concentrating energy on it.

4. More mirrors = more concentrated heat and faster processing.

Choosing Your Output

The Solar Power Tower can operate in two modes:

  • Molten Salt Mode: Produces hot liquid salt for storage and later use
  • Steam Mode: Directly generates steam to power turbines immediately

Connect output pipes to your Heat Battery or Steam Turbine depending on your chosen mode. For maximum efficiency, surround your tower with mirrors in a wide field—the larger your mirror array, the more power you generate.
