Construct a solar-powered network! The network you make is your own creation! Will you strive for greed to get the highest coins per second? Or create a sun-powered orchestration worthy of Apollo?

How to Play
-----------
* Connect buildings up to a solar panel grid to receive power (signals)

Other Notes
------------
* Total Dev Time: 28:57:05
* This is an idle game - I've adjusted the waiting period to be fairly short for Jam-players. Should be able to unlock everything within 10 minutes if optimized. 15 minutes if you play around
* Yes, signals were used to program this :P
* No AI was used in the creation of the game including assets, code, and research - we read docs like god intended
* First time using godot outside of messing around with it
* Wanted to try using some of Kenney's assets. 3D solar punk models are made for the jam. I typically make 2D games so this was a lot.
* Started with Kenney's city builder template and built off of that (TY)
* Because you can make your own music with this game there is no BGM track - unlock the bell and drum!
* For musicians / optimizers:
!> * Each solar panel receives a signal once a second and distributes it same frame. Length of the chain does not matter.
!> * The router / distributor can be used to delay a signal to every 2s or every 3s. If you chain these well you can get even more delay.
!> * Let me know what your max coins / second ends up being or if you make any music :)
* Had to cut quite a bit, but I hope you enjoy!
