(2024!) Easy Free-form Solar Tracking (New Feature!)

May 6, 2024 Finally updated! (Or, "I'm not dead yet!") Better yet, I've added a great new feature I've always wanted to see. TLDR: Now you can place solar panels with ports facing ALL DIRECTIONS simultaneously! All on the same set of cables, running on a single IC! --- 2024-05-06 "Freedom" Update --- I've had a lot of time sitting around due to a back injury (yay), and so I've finally been able to update this to work with all the changes over the last couple years. In learning about the new features added to MIPS since I last played Stationeers, I found the ability to batch-address devices BY NAME. I had a feeling that would allow me to implement a really nice feature I'd wanted for a long time... and here it is: Free-form solar panel placement. Use a labeler to name your solar panels according to what direction their power port is facing. That's it, unless you want to use a naming convention different from the defaults in the script. The script looks for all four moveable solar panel device hashes (single, dual, reinforced single, reinforced dual). It will send a default horizontal rotation to any panels that haven't been renamed, based on the old port direction config setting, and then it will send an appropriately modified horizontal rotation to any panels with names matching the four name hash entries in the config section. For example, if you want to run half as many cables, you could put solar panels on both sides of each run. Rename those on one side to "Solar Panel East" and those on the other to "Solar Panel West" (if using the defaults in the script). All of them will correctly track the sun (assuming the daylight sensor's port direction is entered correctly). I can't be the only person who's excited to have this feature, right?? :D --- Main Description --- This two-axis solar panel tracking script improves on others in several useful ways. Free-form placement! Name each solar panel based on which direction the port faces, and it all just works. No more ri
