Part of A Noob Plays Stationeers Brutal Mars.
This is episode 26 of my Stationeers Brutal Mars first play. My solar tracking finally works. The panels move the wrong way at first, but one last adjustment gets them following the sun. I’ll take the win.
First I have to convince the solar box that it’s actually a room. After that it’s green data cables, logic chips, a daylight sensor, and more layout changes than I expected. Then I start wondering whether I need some sleep, and Mars sends a storm at another inconvenient moment. I use the interruption to collect nitrogen for the jetpack, then get back to labeling and programming the solar logic.
By the end the panels are tracking and I’m asking, “Did I accidentally get it right?” How good is it? I have no idea. That’s progress for a first play on Brutal Mars.
