==Solar tracking using Logic Chips - Moon ==

Solar tracking on the [[Worlds|Moon]] is very minimal and straightforward due to its having a near 0° solar angle. You will need the following:

* x1 [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]]
* x1 [[Logic I/O|Logic Reader]]
* x1 [[Logic I/O|Batch Writer]]
* [[Cables|Cable Coil]]s, a [[Wrench]], a [[Screwdriver]], and [[Wire Cutters]] at a minimum

The orientation of the [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]] is important for any solar logic control circuit. Since we are only controlling the vertical alignment (0° solar angle negates the need for horizontal control), the direction of the data port does not matter; however, '''the blue solar face of the [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]] must face either east or west'''. You will have to manually adjust the angle of the horizontal angle on the [[Solar Panel]] with a [[Wrench]], dependent on the orientation you build the [[Solar Panel]], and whether the [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]] faces east or west. Simply wait for the sun to be up and adjust until the panel is ~98% efficient.

Hook up the logical components as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Component''' !! '''Port A''' !! '''Connection A''' !! '''Port B''' !! '''Connection B''' !! '''Port C''' !! '''Connection C'''
|-
| [[Logic I/O|Logic Reader]] || IN || [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]] || VAR || Vertical || N/A || N/A
|-
| [[Logic I/O|Batch Writer]] || IN || [[Logic I/O|Logic Reader]] || OUT VAR || Vertical || OUT TYPE || [[Solar Panel]]
|}

==Solar tracking using Logic Chips - Non-Moon ==

'''THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION NEEDS TESTING ON A NON-MOON PLANET., I (ERIZAMANU) DON'T HAVE A WORKING NON-MOON SAVE (IM GOING FOR YEAR ACHIEVEMENT ON THE MOON RN) FOLLOWING THE TERRAIN UPDATE, SO IF SOMEONE COULD VERIFY THIS CIRCUIT OFF THE MOON AND DM ME I WOULD BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL THANKS'''

Solar tracking not on the [[Worlds|Moon]] remains straightforward, however is inherently more complicated due to not having a near 0° solar angle. You will need the following:

* x1 [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]]
* x2 [[Logic I/O|Logic Reader]]
* x2 [[Logic I/O|Batch Writer]]
* [[Cables|Cable Coil]]s, a [[Wrench]], a [[Screwdriver]], and [[Wire Cutters]] at a minimum
* A [[Labeller]] is recommended to differentiate horizontal/vertical components, but not required

The orientation of the [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]] is important for any solar logic control circuit. Since we are controlling both the vertical and horizontal alignments, '''the direction of the data port''' does matter, and '''must face either north or south'''. Additionally, '''the blue solar face of the [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]] must face either east or west''', and the '''[[Solar Panel]] power port must face east or west'''. The pairing of the facings is as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! !! '''Blue Face / [[Solar Panel]] Power Port''' !! '''[[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]] Data Port'''
|-
| Option 1 || West || South
|-
| Option 2 || East || North
|}

Hook up the logical components as follows:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Component''' !! '''Port A''' !! '''Connection A''' !! '''Port B''' !! '''Connection B''' !! '''Port C''' !! '''Connection C'''
|-
| Vertical [[Logic I/O|Logic Reader]] || IN || [[Sensors|Daylight Sensor]] || VAR || Vertical || N/A || N/A
|-
| Vertical [[Logic I/O|Batch Writer]] || IN || Vertical [[Logic I/O|Logic Reader]] || OUT VAR || Vertical || OUT TYPE || [[Solar Panel]]
|-

|-
| Horizontal [[Logic I/O|Batch Writer]] || IN || Horizontal [[Logic I/O|Logic Reader]] || OUT VAR || Horizontal || OUT TYPE || [[Solar Panel]]
|}

== Solar tracking using IC-10 ==

Using the in-game [[IC10]] code is a complicated process that requires knowledge of programming in an assembly-level language similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture MIPS]. If you are not proficient at programming in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture MIPS], it is not recommended to attempt to code [[IC10]]. Instead, it is recommended to refer to prewritten [[IC10]] code such as [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1892925984 Tallinu's IC10 Free-form Solar Tracking Script].
