Horizontal Solar Generator
A directional variant that tracks the sun's position.
- Dynamic Output:
- East Facing: Peak generation in the morning
- West Facing: Peak generation in the evening
- Smart Obstruction System:
- Block touching face: Stops generation (0 RPM)

- Dynamic Output: Same sun-tracking behavior as the basic horizontal
- Weather: Speed is halved during rain
Solar Windmill Bearing & Solar Sails
For massive power generation, build a custom solar array!
Solar Windmill Bearing
Works like a standard Windmill Bearing but is optimized for Solar Sails.
- Connection: Attaches to Solar Sails (and standard sails).
- Output: Generates Stress Units (SU) based on sail count and weather.
- Requirement: Needs sky access to benefit from solar multipliers.
Solar Sails
Specialized sails that harness sunlight for boosted power.
- Material: Translucent, comes in all 16 colors + clear.
- Efficiency:
- Sunny: 2x power output (compared to white sails).
- Raining: 1.5x power output.
- Night/Thunder/Covered: 1x power output (same as white sails).
