How to Craft a Leadstone Solar Panel
Gather the Base Materials
Start with the entry-tier panel. You need a Leadstone Solar Core before you can build the Leadstone Solar Panel. The core is the heart of every panel in this mod, and each tier has its own core: Leadstone, Hardened, Redstone, Signalum, Resonant, Advanced, and Ultimate.
Craft the Leadstone Solar Core using a shaped recipe. You will also need Photovoltaic Cell components, which are made through shapeless crafting. Lapis Shard is another ingredient used across the lower-tier recipes, so keep a stack on hand.
Assemble and Place the Panel
Once you have the Leadstone Solar Core, combine it into the Leadstone Solar Panel block. Place the panel where it has open sky above it — a panel with a block overhead will not generate.
Move Up the Tiers
When you have the Leadstone tier running, upgrade by crafting the next core up. The progression runs Leadstone, Hardened, Redstone, Signalum, Resonant, Advanced, Ultimate. Each tier uses its own Solar Core and its own Solar Panel block. Higher tiers also unlock matching Solar Helmet items, which generate while worn.
Keep your Photovoltaic Cell supply stocked — every panel tier consumes them in crafting.
