Description
Sensors are used to detect different parameters of their surroundings.
Only the Daylight Sensor can be accessed directly by pointing it. Other sensors require a tablet with a Configuration Cartridge to be accessed manually.
Their outputs can also be accessed using an Logic Reader or an Integrated Circuit inserted in an IC Housing.

Daylight Sensor
The daylight sensor reports whether the sun hits the large grid the sensor is in, as well as the solar angle. Looking at the sensor will provide a tool-tip readout of this information, even when not connected to the network. The orientation of the daylight sensor is important, it will read different angle values depending on the orientation.
Modes
 Warning: | While the Mode and SolarAngle properties described below are still available, they are being deprecated in favor of Horizontal and Vertical data properties, returning the same as their Mode counterparts. |
The daylight sensor has a Mode property which can be set with Logic Writer and Memory chip, or with an Integrated Circuit:
| Value | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Default | The sensor will return the absolute value of the angle formed by the source of light and the normal vector of the sensor (towards which the grey/green part is facing). 0 means the source of light is facing to the sensor, 90 means it is aligned with the surface the sensor was laid on, and 180 means the source of light is in the back of the sensor. The angle is always a positive value between 0 and 180. |
| 1 | Horizontal | Returns the angle from the position of the source of light parallel to the surface of the sensor. The angle can be negative, ranging between -180 and +180. |
| 2 | Vertical | The sensor measures the angle from the position of the light source perpendicular to the surface of the sensor. |
Horizontal mode
Vertical mode
Notes
Solar panel work using clockwise reference angles, which means depending of the situation you may have to invert the values returned by sensors' horizontal or vertical modes.
The sensor always reports an angle to a logic reader at all times.
See https://stationeers-wiki.com/Solar_Logic_Circuits_Guide for more solar panel logic discussion.
Examples
On the moon/space :
- If the daylight sensor is fixed on the floor, it will report 90 degrees at sunrise, up to 0 degrees at noon, back to 90 degrees at sunset, to 180 degrees at midnight, and back to 90 at sunrise.
- If fixed on a ceiling the cycle will be opposite, i.e.: 90 -> 180 -> 90 -> 0 -> 90.
- If fixed to an east facing wall, the cycle from sunrise is: 0 -> 90 -> 180 -> 90 -> 0.
- If fixed to a west facing wall, the cycle is opposite, i.e.: 180 -> 90 -> 0 -> 90 -> 180.
- If fixed to a north or south facing wall it will stay at 90 degrees all the time.
Other :
- If you lay a sensor on the ground, facing upwards, connector towards south,configured in horizontal mode, it will work like a compass with 0 = north, 90 = east, 180 = south and -90 = west

Motion Sensor
The motion sensor activates when a player or object enters the large grid square where the sensor is, and it will deactivate when no more players or objects are in the area.

Gas Sensor
The gas sensor will report information about the gas in the current atmosphere, such as pressure, contents and temperature.
Note: Temperature is given in Kelvin, while your suit gives a readout in Celsius.
Celsius + 273.15 = Kelvin

Occupancy Sensor
The occupancy sensor will detect the presence of a player when placed within a defined room. A defined room is when the game detects the space is entirely closed off from the rest of the world with walls, doors, etc. These do not need to be in the finished state to count as sealing a room.
Note: You can determine if a room is define by using the atmos analyzer chip with the tablet. If the top says "Room #" the room is sufficiently closed in.
