Solar tracking in custom turret controller?
Completed
Sun tracking for solar panels has been a problem with no solution in vanilla, and even in experimental it can't be done without scripting knowledge. The new custom turret controller would solve this in such a simple and complete way I'm completely shocked you folks didn't think of it before the update. Can you please ad an option to track the sun with the custom turret controller?
I like this feedback
An easy vanilla option to do this would be very useful.

And if it could work offline that would be great as well (As in, the game calculates that the solar panels have been following the sun and so it adds full power to the batteries)

Or possibly make a new block for it so there's not as much stuff in just the CTC block.

As soon as I loaded the 'Most Wanted' world I noticed the solar panels sitting idle pointing away from the Sun. I also thought this was pretty sad state of affairs since we know solar tracking is possible (mods).
