This is the furnace code I used: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2751915891
As an American, I can't imagine working with part-time electricity. I'm just shocked. No pun intended. Props. Kudos. Respect.
We had a water blackout this month too (due to critical maintainance). Lemme tell you, showering with a pot of water in the middle of winter will humble you 🤣
@@LargelyUnemployed As a Brit, I applaud your demeanour :D
Sorting and stacking up the ingots coming out of your Arc Furnace would be a good idea. You will need one Sorter and one Stacker for each of the 7 basic ingot types and I would suggest you set them up in series. The first Sorter takes it's input from the Arc Furnace's output through a chute. The output slot directly opposite the input slot on the Sorter (left one), you then chute onto the input slot of the next sorter. The output slot on the side of the Sorter (right one) you chute into the input slot of the Stacker. I would suggest maybe setting the 7 Stackers to say 100, so you'll get ingot stacks of 100g each.
The outputs of all 7 Stackers, you could merge up with chutes and lead them into a Vending Machine for storage. The Vending Machine can hold up to 100 slots of random items, has an interface allowing you to flip through the contents and request as specific item to be ejected from the Vending Machine's inventory (comes out the front).
The Sorters will still drain 5W each while on. The Vending Machine takes up just a few watts while on, so might as well just leave it on.
To set up the Sorters for all of this, you have a couple of options:
1) Attach a computer to the same network and put a "Sorter" motherboard in the computer. This will let you create whitelists for each individual item you want each Sorter to "catch" and eject on the right side (see above), while everything else goes to the left side (on to the next Sorter). Setting up the Sorters with whitelists in the Computer like this can be a bit tedious as the interface is a bit wonky and you have to flip through all of the items in the game to find the right ones. The positive of using this setup, is that you can turn off the computer afterwards saving the power it spends - the downside is that sometimes the Sorters will lose their whitelisting setup, though it's not something I've experienced all that often.
2) Seeing as a system like this only needs one item whitelisted per sorter, alternatively you can snag my IC10 / MIPS script off the workshop:
"Sorter Whitelist Automation": steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2941774342
The script can handle up to 6 Sorters per chip / IC Housing. Setting up the whitelisting works by interaction: insert the item you want whitelisted for each Sorter in the same order the Sorters are configured - i.e. if you've set the first Sorter as the one for Iron Ingots (and configured to the D0 pin on the IC housing), then you insert an iron ingot first. Second one for Copper (and configured for the D1 pin on the IC housing), you insert a Copper ingot second and so on. The script then auto-configures the whitelisting and handles sorting things from there on. The downside of using an IC for handling the Sorters this way, is that it will cost you 50W per chip and for 7 ingot types, you will need to run two chips for a total of 100W. The script does have built-in automated idle-off turning the Sorters off when they are not doing anything. If you ever need to reset the whitelisting, pull the chip out of the IC housing and re-insert the chip. That will clear the whitelisting for all attached Sorters. (Turning the housing off or cutting the power to it on an APC or a transformer does not reset the whitelisting). After a reset, you will have to interaction configure the whitelisting again.
no idea why but this comment was flagged and hidden by CZcams. Only just saw it now. Happy to see we came to a similar solution!
At first glance, it looked like the memory held the PrefabHash of whatever is currently cooking in the Arc Furnace.
As an option, what you can do is install one of the Consoles on the wall by the LED Display and install a "Hash Display" circuitboard into the console. Then plonk the floppy disk in the console and configure it for the Logic Memory. Doing that should then have it display whatever is cooking up in the Arc Furnace, as an icon.
I love this! Will add it.
Automating an Arc Furnace is really a good way to learn your own IC code as it's one of the simplest things you an do, aside from maybe solar tracking.
Do you know of any good tutorials? I finally have a little time and want to learn MIPS if I'm going to get back into stationeers
Fire the output of your arc furnace into a refrigerated vending machine. It will auto sort and combine for you, and then you can just call up the stack you want to export. You can ALSO dump it all into an autolathe to stack it, but you can't ask for just the gold, for example.
That's really clever. How many stacks can it hold?
@@LargelyUnemployed 100 full stacks. But you can always check on it from time to time and just eject the full ones and bring them inside. I have a multi-sort system on my current world and all the lead, cobalt, and uranium end up in the refrigerated vending machine because you use little to none of each of those.
I just tried this and sadly ingots won't combine stacks. I put in two 50x stacks of iron with the machine set to 100 and they stayed at 50x. Funny when it works in other machines like auto lathe etc. It's a nice way to save space though :) It won't split stacks either. I put in 100 solder with it set to 50x stacks and that also stayed at it's original stack size of 100 :(
@@obbekjaer Sorry I wasn't clear! The refrigerated vending machine will auto-stack partial stacks to their item limit (8+15+40=50+13, for example). I actually use a cheap autolathe to stack everything into. That can be endless, though getting resources OUT again can be a pain.
You could dumb down the splitting input to the centrifuges. Put 2 splitters after the first one in parallel. I'd assume that would split is evenly.
Oh that's clever. Might do that when we rework it for the combustion centrifuge
should have use overflow chute not flip flop
I've seen this suggested elsewhere. I want them to all run at the same time though, and I don't think we produce enough dirty ore to back up all 4 centrifuges.
I'll try out the new powered chutes next time.
@thespirit7408 it seems to me that factorio is good training for this game
Having not played this game I don't have any useful suggestions. Looks like there are a few guides out there for sorting and capturing each ore individually, but it makes sense to want to batch them up into the biggest ingot size possible per ore to save space.
I guess you fixed it later - it should be overflow, not flip flop. With flip flops the first one will get always half of ores, the next one 1/4 and so on.
i think the best solution would be to move from centrifuge > iron sorter > copper sorter > xxx sorter etc > stacker. Then the ores that can be smelted with an arc furnace will move to one, and save the advanced ores for later. you could also implement an advanced furnace setup that will input the ore of your choice and also control the furnace to keep it in range. this could be extended to work for alloys etc.
no idea why but this comment was flagged and hidden by CZcams. Agreed that smelting everything is a bit overkill. Will probably move over to ore stacking and just run ingots through a furnace as and when they're needed.
@@LargelyUnemployed yeah! use some logic to reader the amount in the stacker and turn the arc furnace on if it needs more etc
Placing a computer right before a whole batch of heaters? Kids, don't try this at home!!!
😄
For that extra-crispy plastic smell 😂
Iirc stackers can also combine ingots...up to 500 or so...
...lots of sorters and maybe a silo for every ore... that requires a lot of space...
I'll start with just a silo for every ore we can't smelt. We can store the Ingots much more compact
if you put in a stacker then you can stack up 50 units in each hopper in the track.
I'll do this, great idea 🔥
Sadly I havent played this game, so no tipps from me. But ye automation is almost a go. Woo.
Can't get enough stationeers..
what happens if i connect centrifuge with arc furnace , when some reagent mix gets into arc furnace
I'm pretty sure the arc furnace can't process reagents, so it will probably just get stuck.
I do have MIPS experience so if you sent me the code I can take a look :)
also for your chutes you probably want an overflow chute. That will output to one side till it is full then send it onwards.
Thank you for the offer! The creator has already updated it thankfully. Here's a link to the code if you'd like to check it out anyway: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2751915891
Are we able to get the save game to play with it???
Sorry man, they've removed the ability to publish saves to the workshop. Besides, this was before the atmospherics update so it'll all explode 😂
