EtBellatorLucis: Fixed wrong info about simple cables throughput

[[Category:Solar power]]
A storm is an extreme weather condition found on most [[Worlds]]. These are all except the [[Worlds#Mimas|Mimas]], and [[Worlds#Space|Space]].

There are 2 storm types:

* Simple storm
* Solar storm (introduced in [[Update v0.2.5954.26176|The Storm Update]])

=== Solar storms ===
Could occur only on the [[Moon]] and [[Vulcan]]. During the storm the Sun becomes significantly brighter, which '''leads to the following''':

* everything outside becomes significantly brighter, which could make navigation a bit harder in terms of visual perception. May cause some eye discomfort because of high brightness
* more heat is emitted from the Sun, so everything in the [[world]] is heating rapidly

Despite simple storms, which don't have any pros, solar storms have '''positive effects''' on:

* [[solar panels]], which output could reach 1,5kW for each, when [[Solar Logic Circuits Guide|facing the Sun directly]]
* [[plants]]

The following '''moments''' about solar storms '''should be noted''', when building a base on the Moon:

* venturing outside during the solar storm heats your suit, so the [[battery]] usage is increased, because the life support system is working at increased capacity ([[HARM Suit|HARM suit]] is recommended)
* take attention to cables in your [[energy]] network, because simple [[cables]] could handle only 5kW of energy, which could be reached by ~4 solar panels (1,5kW each) during the solar storm ([[Power Controller|Area Power Control]] or [[Transformer]] could be used to separate the energy network with heavy cables)

=== Simple storms ===

==== Effects: ====
* severely reducing visibility
* can blow away loose items and players, especially if they are not touching the ground.
* damage [[equipment]]
* change the temperature while active

Items and [[structures]] that are known to be damaged by storms include:

* [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]]
* Any loose items
* The starting [[Lander|Lander]]
* [[AIMEe]]
* [[Rover]] Mk I

Damaged items and structures can be repaired, depending on the kind of structure, with [[Duct Tape|Duct Tape]], [[Glass Sheets]] or by unbuilding and rebuilding. (Except AIMEe and Rover Mk I).

Players can get advance warning of a storm by using a [[Weather Station|Weather Station]].

[[Room|Rooms]] are safe from storms. Note however, the max [[room]] size is 1200 cubes. Storms will occur inside rooms bigger than that.

* take attention to cables in your [[energy]] network, because simple [[cables]] could handle only 1kW of energy, which could be less, then output of just one solar panel during the solar storm ([[Power Controller|Area Power Control]] or [[Transformer]] could be used to separate the energy network with heavy cables)
