i left yaru out in the sun with his comm off for ~12 hours today, and his comm is still at 0% battery.

is the solar upgrade meant to recharge batteries when the comm is out in the sun, or just not make the battery drop when i'm out in the sun (or both, according to a really really old post written by beau).

When Zoz and I originally designed them, the solar comm was supposed to recharge, while off, and outside. I don't even think it took into account wether or not the sun was shining. But I noticed not too long ago that it didn't seem to be working. To be honest, it should most likely just charge a little slower while on than while off. And take into consideration the sun.

I checked it out, there didn't seem to be a problem with deactivated solar comms regaining battery power, but I made some adjustments anyway, so it should be working. Razz

by the by, i checked to see if i recharged any (before realizing i was inside...), and noticed that i can tell that my integrity chip is in poor condition.

now, while i'd love this to be more a feature than a bug, i think that's only for techs to see, right?

after leaving yaru afk for 12+ hours in the back lawn of silken folds.

Code:
It appears that the battery in your advanced comm ring has roughly 0% of its charge remaining.
 
The integrity chip seems to be in poor condition.
 
There seems to be some instructions on the advanced comm ring that you could read over.
 
It appears the ring has access to twenty-five channels and is a long-range model.
 
It is currently deactivated.


edit: crap, i just realized my comm ring was open. would that be what kept my battery from charging? this also explains why i saw the comm chip condition.
