Video

the auto arm grabbable area (the two circles) are actually cylinders in 3d space that go from the ground level up to about tall platform height when the arms are placed normally (on a regular platform) by tilting the arms 45%, you also tilt those cylindrical areas so that an arm placed NEXT to the large storages can reach them, when ordinarily the arms would have to be in line with the storages. so it just lets you grab and place items to the side rather than needing arms in the middle

Nvm. figured it out

As far as I can see, 200pcs canister are used j this video. Do you mean it is going to be a bigger one soon?

@@crasymuse You mean the 400 capacity Large Resource Canisters? Yes, he uses the large resource canisters, but that's because he made this _before_ the Roadtrip update. This update added the Large Rover Seat B (not related) and the XL Resource Canister, and the latter of the two is _huge!_ The XL Resource Canisters have a capacity of up to 2,000 nuggets of any one resource, the largest storage capacity to date! To get that capacity, you'd need a storage like this one, but now it can be compacted to a single XL Platform A!

@@Game_Blox9999 Unbelievable! Such volumes drive me crazy 😀

With a count repeater set to 2, and with one of two charges primed when the platform is EMPTY (I just use a button to set the count to 1/2), the storage sensor will trigger when an item is put on the platform or taken off, but the count repeater only triggers half of those times. When the item is placed on the platform the storage sensor triggers and makes the count repeater (which was 1/2) go 2/2 which triggers BOTH the arm directly and the delay repeater (which also goes to the arm) on the next platform. Then the item is removed, the storage sensor triggers again but that only triggers the count to go back to 1/2 and nothing else happens. Hope that helps, there’s some extra explanation in the description theres a bug with the platforms where the storage sensor isnt recognized if the platform hasnt been moved in the same game session, so after you load in you have to pick up the platform and put it down before the storage sensor works as expected. if you dont move the platform first it looks attached but is really just floating in mid aid and connected to nothing (and will stay floating there if you move the platform after the sensor is "attached"

@@interslicer thanks, I appreciate the reply. The logic on the count repeater is just escaping me. So I set all my input storage platforms with a storage sensor set to empty / not empty, and laid a delay sensor at 25 ticks on top of each which I then connected directly to the next auto arm in the line. This provides enough of a delay on the unfiltered auto arms in the conveyor system to allow the filtered storage auto arms to collect any resources as applicable. Obviously much slower and seems to work if I have all auto arms on the same sequenced delay, and all starting in the off position. So the initial signal when a resource is placed on the platform triggers the on position on the unfiltered auto arm after the delay and then the empty platform triggers the unfiltered auto arm to turn off. I haven't overloaded this setup as yet, but will put it under some heavy testing soon. I'm sure the repeat counter will come to me eventually.

@@interslicer and by the way, enjoy the design. Having to remove canisters for materials before was annoying. Your mock up is perfect. On my smaller scale set up I put a medium platform at the end that holds 8 resources at the ready. Helps me visualize what I need to grab and from where. Great design.

​@@masterofnone9651 interesting. i had a similar set up during design, but the issue in that configuration is the delay sensor has to wait before the arm even turns on, and then again before it turns off. if you connect your storage sensor directly to the arm AND to the delay repeater, when an item comes in it will hit the arm on instantly, and then the delay will count down and hit it off. thats good but the issue is when the item is removed by the arm the storage sensor sends another pulse which instantly turns the arm off, and the delay then turns it back on again to fix that issue is where the count sensor comes in. with the platform empty, the count sensor should be sitting at 1/2. (you have to prime the count sensors with a button or something so that its half full BEFORE anything is on the platform). the connections go storage sensor to count sensor (1/2), count sensor to BOTH (need to T off the signal wire) the auto arm directly AND the delay repeater (set to 10-15), and the delay repeater also goes to the arm. item comes into platform, storage sensor trips the count repeater to 2/2 (aka 0/2) which triggers the arm to turn on instantly. also starts the delay repeater. arm moves the item, which triggers the storage sensor, which triggers the count sensor again, this time going from 0/2 to 1/2 and importantly NOT sending a signal. delay repeater runs out of time and turns off the arm after it moves the item.

​@interslicer after some play time and figuring out these sensors I think I have it set up properly. I expected the storage sensor to trip whenever an item is taken on or off, but that doesn't seem to be the case when multiple items get on the platform. It's either empty or not empty. The not empty doesn't factor how many are taken off, it's still just not empty. How did you slow down the pace from the tall storage. Maybe I need to play with the delay a little bit. I have mine unloading directly from a rail station. Not sure if the matters.

good question. the reason is that while COLE makes the train move faster, it doesnt change how many resources are extracted from the ground. as long as the train has space for every resource thats been extracted the speed of the train doesnt actually change how fast resources are transported in total. it makes each trip go faster, but they carry fewer per trip. since you can only have one COLE i use him for trains i actually ride on

@@interslicer ah thank you

i made a + shaped section of dirt in the middle of the upside down and right side up platforms for them to sit on

actually this was created in adventure mode and then i duplicated the world and turned on creative to make the video easier to make and understand. glad you like it!

yep :)

@@interslicer im so confused

i have a video of my machine that cooks 400 nanocarbon at a time. the rest is just auto extractors

Could you explain this better please? I'm terrible at automation and can't figure this out

@@dasbrootal420 if you go button repeater to delay repeater to button repeater, it constantly triggers each other with a small delay, branch off a leg in that clock to your backpack button

you can connect the repeater to any part of the platform, though there is a bug so if its not working pick up the platform and put it down again and then try. as for the count, i misspoke and should have said it needs to be set to 1 of 2. meaning 2 total but 1 already charged while the platform is empty. (which an be done with a button)

all done in survival (adventure)

thats a bug with the tall platforms. if you try to attach a sensor to a tall platform that was placed in a previous session (placed platform, exited game, came back) it doesnt work until you pick up the tall platform and put it down again. for some reason the sensors just float in the air unless the platform has been moved during that session. once its connected for real it will work even if you exit the game.

how exactly could i do that on calidor

overclocking the extractors would make it extract more per min, but having storage at the extractor vs up at the base makes no difference as long as the train has room to bring it all up every time it comes by. large canisters are also not as easy to automate transportation as the non canister storage will transfer instantly from station to train and back to station. this train works all by itself and collects all materials at once, and transports all of them back to the base. that would be very hard to do with large canisters at the extraction point. there are ways to extract more quickly, but if your transportation or sorting cant keep up then it wont work in an automated way.

@@interslicer i get what you mean, but the train can only bring a limited number of a times, the overall time takes roughly about 15 -20 longer than filling a large and transporting the whole canister. Versus possibly 24 at a time

the limit isnt the capacity of the train. the train can be expanded with large silos to hold much more. the train is bringing every item that is being extracted, if you extracted more you could carry more. the limit is the sorting speed which is why i have set the extractor speed the way it is. the train could bring many more resources to the base, but they wouldnt be sorted. in your example you can extract many more items, but unless you sort them all manually it will just clog the system. its not about being the fastest its about being automated

@@interslicer even if you altered to train to have a larger limit, you pull in about 8 chunks of quartz every 6 mins (and 8 was a generous guess) it takes you one hour to get 48 chunks, roughly over 8 hours to fill a full canister (not overclocked) it's not a matter of limit, it's allocation of resources to extract said resources. Look I get the automatic processing, it's neat. I on the other hand like to accumulate as much as possible as fast as possible, i think a video for players like me would be super cool

@@interslicer sorry I missed the second part. I leave a large canister at the extractors and just pick them up on my way around, slot it into place when I get back to base. No fuss or mess

theres a small amount of terrain above them and they are sitting on it

@@interslicer😁😁😁 Thank you, sir!

the stations have both output pins (that send a signal when the train arrives) and input pin holes (use the ones in the front) where if a signal comes it it will send the train out (if it is in) or call the train (if it is out). so to make this work you need the station to be set to stop and load, and its output pin to be connected to a delay repeater which is connected back to the station input pin hole. then a train comes in, its stopped and loaded and also triggers the delay repeater. after the delay the signal triggers the station to tell the train to go again. try with maximum delay and reduce it after confirming it works. also the delay repeater can be put directly on the station output pin for a cleaner look but it will work if its on the ground and the pin is dragged over.

@@interslicer where are the input and output pins? I set them up just like you did. I have 5 stations that work and 3 that dont. If the train is full those that work, send the train. Ive double checked the settings on the stations and they are all the same. Stop all cars and load cars except for the station that takes everything off, that one does work and sends the train for another loop.

pins are what the sensors/repeaters connect with. output is the one you drag, input is the slot that it can be dragged to. each station has two of each

@interslicer got that. I've got 1 station that wont work. I replaced it with a new one that I made and same thing wont work. I added 2 stations. 1 works 1 doesnt. Same setup on both stations and same as the ones that dont work. I dont get why 1 works and and the next doesnt. I have 8 stations and 2 arent working. Same setup on all stations.

theres a bug where platforms that were placed in a previous session dont actually connect. to fix you have to pick up and put down the platform again then things should connect (if you try to attach the sensor and then move the platform you'll see the sensor floating in the air not actually connected)

definitely a bug! thanks for the assist. @@interslicer
