'''Solar pinhole''' is a level {{P|Psylink Level}} [[psycast]] that creates a source of [[light]] and [[temperature|heat]] for a duration.

== Summary ==
[[File:Solar Pinhole Radius Labeled.png|300px|thumb|left|The white area (9 tiles out) is 50% illumination, required for best [[Surgery Success Chance Factor|surgery success chance]]; the yellow (10-11 tiles) represents 30% or better, adequate for all general labor, avoiding [[mood]] penalties, and for growing [[Decorative Plants|decorative plants]] indoors in [[plant pot]]s.]]

== Analysis ==
{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=Currently just a Copy-paste of minor tactics previously on [[Psycasts]] - needs verification, rewriting, formatting, and expansion}}
Solar pinhole can be used to warm rooms during a cold snap if you don't have enough heaters. Since solar pinholes are relatively inexpensive psyfocus-wise, multiple can be cast if needed. 

Use it when mining deep underground to avoid the darkness work speed penalty without having to build long, temporary, and/or redundant infrastructure.

Also good for icesheet or other places where heat and light are hard to fuel pre-electricity. Getting lucky with the right random psycast can lessen a colony's dependence on [[geyser]]s and allow more rapid and/or flexible expansion.

Very useful to deal with the threat of [[unnatural darkness]],{{AnomalyIcon}} to the extent that emergency [[go-juice]] doses should be considered if psyfocus is low.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/1.2.2719|1.2.2719]] - Added.
* [[Version/1.4.3580|1.4.3580]] - Fix: Solar Pinhole cannot be created over non-edifice buildings.
