Summary

The Solar Fluxweave Helmet is an upgraded Fluxweave Helmet: a small tier-1 solar panel is mounted on top of it. While the helmet is worn and there is an open sky overhead in daylight, it generates EU/FE by itself and hands it out to everything the player carries: first to itself, then to the rest of the worn armour, then to the tools in the inventory, the offhand and the Energy Pack.

In every other way it is an ordinary Fluxweave helmet: the same buffer, underwater breathing, swim speed, defense 2, and it counts as the set's helmet — the 4/4 bonus works with it exactly as with the plain one. The details of the whole set are on the Fluxweave Armor page.

The output is small and honest: this is a worn version of the tier-1 panel, not a perpetual-motion machine. At night, under a roof or underwater the helmet generates nothing.

Energy

8 EU/FE/s is about 40 % of a tier-1 panel on the g and comfortably covers the armour's own 1 EU/FE/s upkeep. The knob lives in the config

When the helmet generates

The rules are those of the tier-1 panel on the ground. Only a worn helmet generates — in the inventory it does nothing.

The helmet starts by itself. The output does not depend on the helmet's own charge: a completely flat helmet (0 EU/FE) starts working in the sun with no outside charging.

Where the energy goes

Once a second the generated energy is handed out in this order:

1. The helmet itself — so its bonuses and upkeep never flicker.
2. The rest of the worn armour.
3. The rest of the inventory and the offhand — split evenly, not "first in the list"; the starting point of the sweep rotates. The Energy Pack receives energy on equal terms with everything else.

Energy is never created from nothing: what lands in items never exceeds the output. When all the gear is full, the excess is lost and the items are not rewritten (no extra sync traffic).

What the helmet gives

Everything the plain Fluxweave Helmet gives: underwater breathing, +50 % swim speed, and paying for the 4/4 set bonus. The bonuses are attributes and apply while the helmet holds charge.

Item Properties

Appearance

Part of the Fluxweave suit: a small solar panel (blue cells in a frame) sits on top of the helmet. The worn armour has two layers, "charged" and "flat", like the other pieces of the set. The look does not change with the sun: a cloud overhead does not recolour the armour.

Recipe

Crafting table, a shaped recipe of two rows: a tier-1 solar panel on top in the centre, an ordinary Fluxweave helmet below it in the centre and an insulated copper cable on each side of the helmet. The charge of the original helmet carries over to the result — the upgrade needs no recharging.

Tooltip

The item tooltip has two lines: "Solar panel: up to N EU/FE/s under a clear daytime sky" (N comes from ) and a note that at night, under a roof and underwater the helmet generates nothing.

Progression

Tier: LV

Requires: the Fluxweave Helmet and a tier-1 solar panel, plus two insulated copper cables.

Next: there is no night variant — the helmet is built on the tier-1 panel, not the moonlit one.
