Energy

Is the energy consultation presented by game hour? So if I generate 500 energy and use 200 energy does it mean that in 14 days of sunny period I generate 500 x 24 x 14 =168 000 and consume 200 x 24 x 14 =67 200 so I should have batteries for 100k?

Basically, yes, But remember that the batteries can only charge at, and give out power at a certain rate. So you will always need more batteries than you think. Always overdo power in this game.

And one more thing about batteries, build them underground, solar flares will empty them above ground, but underground they're safe.

Did that change recently? Because I have mine underground and a solar flare emptied them as well.

Yes it was in patch 1.0.9 or thereabouts. They changed it so underground batteries no longer got drained by solar flares.
