Ganymede Technologies - Solar Tower Array
Ganymede Technologies introduces The Solar Tower Array. This tower consists of multiple parts however they will be automatically placed once you place the main tower. Simply select the Solar Tower from your build menu and place it. Then weld all the connected parts!

Utilizing High Efficiency Solar Panels and MagLev technology this Solar Tower produces 2.9MW of power and can rotate 360 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees vertically. This tower will AUTOMAGICALY follow the sun throughout the day and keep solar power generation at peak efficiency!

This tower has been balanced based on cost to build, size, and power output.
The output of this tower is equivalent to 18 vanilla solar panels.

A wish list item would be ether a built in camera for using the turret controller or a raised area in the center of the panel to mount a camera

For the tracking you gonna need isy's solar alignment script for it.
As the modder as explain on a post that his own script had issue and so he removed it

I'm not having the crashing issues everyone else seems to be havin but I have noticed that it no longer places as a single unit like you said nor does it track automatically

I can't load worlds with this mod enabled. I was having the same problem with a few other mods, I play offline so all the mods had to be manually copied to use them, and after sorting through them, I found several I was having the same problem with, but for some reason, renaming the folder for a few of them allowed them to work, but not this one.

Yeah every time i put this in my survival game and build it up the panels after functional crash me every time.

I did some digging and some of us are having problems with scripts and mods using scripts in the new version. It is quite likely the mod is working fine and the problem is local.

Thanks for letting me know. I’ll look into it.

Broken after Warfare 2 update? The base and rotor head appear, but hinge, hinge part, and solar panel themselves do not.

I have the same issue like KnuckleDragger34. It's not tracking/following the sun.
KnuckleDragger34 31 Dec, 2021 @ 11:43pm 
Built in survival just fine. It just will not auto-track the sun. It stays pointed straight up 24/7. Is a script required for this mod?
