Need to reset "Always aim at sun" every day

I'm using the new Custom Turret Controller (CTC) option to power an asteroid base and it works really well... while it works. It seems like whenever the camera is in shadow for a few minutes the tracking turns off and never turns back on. Toggling the CTC block off/on has no effect, but toggling aim at sun gets tracking to work again.

I'm playing local single player with the default day length and a few mods, but no mods that change the CTC. I haven't tried it on a planet yet (because wind), but I used it on the moon during the beta and didn't see this problem.

I would prefer if it would track through obstacles, or at least go into polling mode when it "loses" the sun.

I like this feedback

didn't try yet, but it sounds more like a bug than a feature

Yep, I had trouble finding the bug reporting tool and failed once I got here. I can't figure out how to delete this either.

Use a auto Reset of 2 Timerblocks.

In The First timer Block set the CTC to Turn on/off or Turn Off the option to "always aim at sun" and set the second Timer block to "Trigger Now". In the second timer Block, set the CTC to turn on "always aim at sun", and set the first timer Block to "start". With this, every 10 Seconds the CTC's "Always aim at sun" task restarts and so the current Bug is solved.
