Day/Night Sensor?

[Adelaide]

This one should be a no-brainer..

I would love to have my base lights automatically shut off when daylight hits, then turn back on when it's night out..

You could probably do a quick and dirty edit of the Solar Panel system for it, even.

I've lost count how many times players have asked for this.

Seems to me like devs are flicking through the suggestions while watching a movie on another PC. That's if they are reading them at all since they never respond.

+1 for Day/nights sensor
or alternative to Day/night sensor... 24H programable timer.
You plug your power source into it than this device to your lights and choose when it's on & when it's off ... up to us to figure out when the day/night is if it's too hard to make a real light detection.

Well the game already knows when it's sunset or sunrise (you have a clock after all) so just make a sensor that turns on a signal when the sun sets (or vice versa).

It already knows becaues the solar panels don't work at night.

Definitely would like to see this. I would say a timer is actually even more useful, potentially, since it can handle sun cycles as well as other things. It wouldn't work as well if they implemented seasons but I don't think that's been done

UP PLEASE! They can just add Tx signal to Solar panels, thats all what we need for it. If dont touch solar panels, just use logic of them like detector. WE REALY NEED IT!

Surly someone has done a workaround by now , as you already have a timer as such , and can chain the logic ,maybe I'll have a look myself as set up flood lights motion sensor for landing CV at night on oad.

+1 here too, would love to turn off those grow lights automatically during the day on those planets where the grow plots can be outside.
