SmartRotors: Solar
Usage Consult: What Causes the Solar Rotors to Jiggle and Twerk instead of Rotate?
Ive personally never had any issues with smart rotors solars. Theyre great!

Some of the players on my server have rather creative ways of setting them up, and their biggest problem is usually the solar panels colliding with some other box as it rotates around, eventually causing clang and explosions.

However, there are cases where players have theirs set up exactly as I do, and theres wont rotate to follow the sun - they point at it once, and just jiggle and shake back and forth. It looks like its summoning clang. There arent obstructions, and the setup is just the pole, smart solar rotor, 2 support beams (from your mod, forget the name), and then 4 solars on each support (basically, the same as the picture for this mod).

I dont want to report this as an issue as I think it has to do with either a multiplayer condition Im not aware of, or a setup detail Im missing.

Has anyone else seen this behavior Im describing? Is there a known cause, and way to fix? Thanks :)
