Auto Optimize Solar Panels / Oxygen farm - Update 1.11 The first and original script which will stop one or more rotors in one or two axis when your solar panel or oxygen farm has reached a minimum defined output.

The program autostarts at compile, but may be manually overridden by argument "stop" and "start"

------------------- INGAME BUG Might not work on dedicated servers. Try your setup on a non-DS game before reporting bugs. ------------------- Features: Rotating sun - Support for rotating sun. Oxygen farm - Support for Oxygen Farm No timer block dependency - No need any more for the timer block. Just use argument "start" or "stop" Mod support - Support for solar panel mods Duplication - Duplicate rotor values to other rotors as well

Your opinions, comments and rating would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would love to see your solar arrays as well. Post images in the comment section if you like.

Youtube instructions here - Ignore timer setup, as this is no longer needed. 3rd party German tutorial here. New Blueprint here Old Blueprint here (One Axis, older software) 3rd party world/blueprint with duplication function here 3rd party guide for stabilizing large arrays here Look at the code here (1.10b)

Troubleshooting Check ownership. Recompile program if ownership has been changed. Does the timer start the programming block? Try to start the programming block manually a couple of times. Does the programming block throw an error message? Check naming in script vs real names. Does the name search return more results than it should? Check the current output from the solar panels while rotor is on. Look for the highest value, and change the variable in the program. Search result order is important. If a rotor name ends in 3, the attached rotor must end in 3.

When reporting bugs, please comment with minimum this info: Dedicated server or not Dual or Single Axis Solar panel or oxygen farm Paste the output from the first run in the programming block

Update 1.11 Minor cleanups & optimizations Began implementing persistent data Update 1.10b Added autostart Update 1.10 LCD-support Cleanups Update 1.09 Did a hotfix break something again? Slowed down rotors and cleanup. Update 1.08 Removed dependency on timer block
