Clock collection

Clock collection is something that a player needs to do for some quests. It involves setting up Solar Terminals, Heat Terminals, Radiation Terminals or Ice Terminals, or a combination of them, depending on the specific quest. These terminals collect light when the planet they're on is day (solar), heat when they're pointing to a planet with dangerously high temperature (heat terminal), radiation when the planet they're pointing to is radioactive, and cold when they're pointing to a planet with dangerously low temperature. The reason it's called "clock collection" is because the ship's AI illustrates your progress by showing you how much of a clock your terminals fill. This clock is not necessarily in line with days, and instead the circumference of the clock is the smallest amount of time which you can wait for, and find that all the planets and terminals are in exactly the same state, so it will repeat. For just 1 solar terminal, this will be 1 day on the planet it's on.
