Solar Tracking

[Grathagis]

I am using the following guide to have solar panels ttrack the sun on the moon: https://stationeers-wiki.com/Solar_Logic_Circuits_Guide
The solar panels track the sun until it is directly overhead. After that point they move in the opposite direction of the sun.
I was able to fix it by reorienting the sensor in a different way and removing the math and memory unit.
My question is this: how up to date is the wiki? Was it that this method previously worked and now no longer does, or am I overlooking something? I copied the setup exactly as shown in the picture.

I never changed my solar tracking setup, so it should still be up to date.

It's very hit and miss, while portions of the Wiki are still valid, others are not. Same with many YouTube video's out there. It's a bit of work staying up to date with all the changes this game has/is going through.

It’s been a long time since I’ve played so forgive me if something has changed; but taking a quick look at this configuration. The memory chip and the math unit are for offsetting the orientation of your sensor. Depending on which orientation you use you may have to add 0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees to the sensors tracking. These numbers are in 90 degree increments because you can only place your sensor in 90 degree increments (North, South, West, East).

If you were able to remove both the memory and the math chip it would mean that your sensor was placed requiring zero offset, and it could just use the value from the sensor.

Absolutely, how the daylight sensors are placed directly impacts how/if the numbers need to be massaged to align with the placement of the solar panel positioning. It is entirely possible to orient daylight sensor(s) to require no modification to the the reading.

The I/O logic still valid.
