- This is a quick video about how I set up my automated rocket in Stationeers to feed a vending machine so that I never have to mine again, while having all the ore I could ever want on demand.
Let me know what you think!
Here are the links to my code, feel free to ask any questions in the comments.

Adding comments for the algo 😊
I love the gas inventory display, im all about the color coding, i may have to mirror that in my base 😁
I thought for sure you'd have some more videos. Very high quality vid, thanks for sharing
Thank you! I kinda burned myself out on Stationeers right after posting this haha but I plan on coming back when the new update is stable!
Awesome automated base.
Impressive ! I would like to see your fournace system ! :D
Thank you! It's actually based on some code I found in the workshop, I didn't go into detail on it because I didn't want to make it seem like it was all my idea haha
But maybe I can make a quick video going over how it works and then link the code in the description :)
wow that's a base! congratulations 👏👍
I wish I could understand this game automation like I understand moded minecraft automation 😅😔
Great presentation 🖐👍
Very cool
Lmao i have to ask how do you endure rotating light in the airlock, that would drive me nuts lol!
You can use a LED light variant ( its much dimmer and half the power of a regular light ) have it go red on cycle and green when done 😁
Great excellent video great job
Just had to come back again to reiterate that this is an excellent video this is a must watch
Nice setup, you can eliminate the vending machine just use a memory to set a request hash from a regular hash select script and have the silo react and clear the request when it ejects the ore.
Im only halfway through the vid but im sure you already have most of that setup to refill your vending machine.
I actually did the exact same thing with my auto smelting setup ( im Korin on the workshop ) and I had a vending machine much like you do. I realized it was redundant to the operation and i could just write a request hash setup for the silos themselves.
The key is making sure you have sufficient delays in case of minor syncing
Im currently working on a fully automated Europa setup, ill have it uploaded in a couple weeks i really want to polish it up nice.
Itll have my AIMeEs, auto smelting, crafting, farming, rockets etc etc etc
Oh wait, are you saying I can somehow request a specific hash from a silo directly? If so I have no idea how to do that, I'll have to check it out! I thought about eliminating the vending machine, but the problem is my silos are SO far away from my smelting setup that it would take a while for the ore to actually get to me when I request it. The vending machine makes it pretty much instant, which is nice :)
@@kroozin yeah when you request a specific ore type you can set that hash to a logic memory or like an IC db setting, the IC controlling the silos just reads that, once it has a match it initiates a stack drop and clears the memory. Vice versa if youre requesting multiple stacks have the request controller wait until the hash memory/IC db setting ( whichever you use ) is set back to 0 ( reset ) to request the next stack. Ezpz. The main thing is setting the delays right which looks ok from your silos code. If the controllers are waiting for the others to complete ie clear and set a hash there wont ever be any stuff up in the timing or sending too many etc
@@kroozin ill have that setup on my europa base this weekend and ill go ahead and upload it. My setup has all incoming ore go through a second fully automated advanced furnace. Only coal and cobalt ore get a silo otherwise everything is smelted on arrival.
This cuts down on how many sdb silos you need in the end but sort of limits you to using stacks of 50 ingots in the silos instead of 500. For me this works better as i plan to have the printers request materials and stacks of 50 will be good.
My alloy and superalloy auto smelting setup also uses 50 stacks so it all works out. And i mean really i shouldnt need more than 30,000 (600slots x 50)of any ingot at any given time lmao.
Not really an improvement but I wonder if there is a way to request all ore types from the silos and then have a sorter that only pulls out the type of ore that you are requesting and then feeds the rest back into your filter line. That way you can do a bulk command for fetching ore and only need to set a filter to the hash of the ore you want.
Also curious what would happen if you have a single type of material overfill.
Have you thought of hooking your furnace up to it so you only need to request the ingot type up and the system pulls the ore required and pops out a ingot.
WHAT DO YOU USE/HOW DO YOU SET UP HASH DISPLAY
not much of a need to have more than one ice crusher as you will be filtering the gasses later. the only ice that comes out not mixed is H2 and N2 with water Ice. Oxite is a mix gas of O2 and N2 and Nitro Ice is N2 and N2O. so with that you could simplify the ice management down to one ice crusher.
Hey Kroozin.... many, many thanks for the awesome IC Code. I'm using your Auto Rocket code. Works a treat, Very handy. I am running into 1 very annoying issue, and I can't for the life of me work out what to do to fix it. I have the volume pump for the refueling of the rocket as close as possible to the rocket itself. So I have 1 corner piece of insulated pipe, then the VP. The problem I'm finding is, the volume pump is pressurizing the corner piece of insulated pump so much that it keeps bursting. May I ask what you did after your VP??? Many thanks again!
Hey there, glad you're finding the code useful! So it's been a while since I looked at it, but I had a similar problem that I solved by including a piece of code in there that turns the Volume Pump on and off depending on if the rocket is home or not. I can log in later to look, but the issue was when the rocket was gone it was reading a tank value of zero since it had nothing to read. Adding a condition that made the rocket be home prevented that from happening. Do you have the volume pump connected to the same data network as the IC and set to one of the screws on there?
I'm FAIRLY certain the code should account for that, but if that doesn't work I can log in at some point and take a look to see if I missed something. Hope that helps!
@@kroozin Hi Kroozin. Many thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I do have the VP on the same network as the Rocket. I have the screws on the IC setup for each input you coded. So 1 = Rocket, 2 = important button, 3 = VP , 4 = return button. 5 & 6 are empty. It's almost like the rocket isn't "accepting" fuel properly. Even when the rocket is sitting on the pad, with plenty of fuel in the pipes, the rocket is very slow to take on fuel. Meanwhile the VP is continuously filling the pipe, making the corner piece blow out as it hits 80MPa. I'm stumped. My coding skills aren't fantastic, so I'm not sure what to do :( Thanks again for the reply.
You need some lights out there
Could you upload this base to steam?
Impressive. Your setup by my standards is super late game and I've never had the motivation to go through with it that far.
Question though, your title has to do with mining yet the entirety of the video is dedicated to the storage systems (silo, tanks, vending, furnace) and not about rocket and/or mining at all.
I've never seen somebody launch a rocket without a pilot (I thought the only point of a rocket was to travel between planets) and I have heard of the rocket update introducing new modules but have not dug my teeth into the update so I don't actually know what's in there or how it works. Or where did the rocket even fly to??
So many questions, so little answers. :)
Good questions! So the reason the title is about mining is because the idea is the automation of the gathering of the ore so that I don't have to go out and mine it myself. This requires a lot of storage/vending automation, since without it the rocket just comes back and dumps all the ore on the ground. With everything sorted and stored, I can now simply request ore from my vending machine without having to go out and mine it manually. Hope that makes sense!
As for the rocket, I just started playing about a month ago so I've actually never seen anything other than an unmanned rocket! I've seen there are options for ones you can apparently travel in, but I haven't messed with them yet. The rocket update recently introduced "modules" that will automatically gather resources for you while the rocket is gone. There's an ice module that gathers oxite, volatiles, and water ice. There's also an ore module that gathers all the other types of metal ore. Then it stores it in an on-board silo and brings it home!
As for where exactly it goes, I'm not really sure, it just tells you it's "on a planet mining" so my guess is it's not really going anywhere, just simulating it.
Hope that helps :)
@@kroozin Interesting. Previously you'd need to enter hash coordinates of a planet you'd want to "travel" to.
I initially thought that this video was going to be about the little automated wall-e that you can work with, now I'm surprised to hear about same planet mining.
I'd definitely want to get the mining out of the way but it takes such perseverance to get this far and mine that much :/
Easiest way to get rid of gasses without just venting then is to bottle and sell em. Its a little tedious but its fun and youll get rich the legit way
Setting up the trader is one of the next things on my TODO list! I've never done it before because I've never really had a need, but it's something I've been meaning to check out for fun, so I'll have to give this a shot.
Can you post your IC scripts and IC db screw locations. I'm a complete noob when it comes to programming and can't understand it. I'd love to copy your set up but don't have any idea how to set up the IC's. Thanks
Of course! I meant to do this right after the video and totally forgot. I've added all my code to the description with links to the Workshop so you can just import it directly. I tried to make the pin names as obvious as I could, so you should just have to match the alias name to the pin, but if you have any questions just let me know!
@@kroozin Thanks man !! Appreciate it !!!
Forgot to ask, what rocket modules/parts do you have on it and in what order from bottom to top ?
@@kemble0726 No problem! So the rocket modules from bottom to top are: Engine > Fuel Tank > Ore Mining > Coupling (Up) > Silo > Coupling (Down) > Ice Mining > Automated.
This gives you everything you need for it to power itself, because the one ice module will bring back enough ice to create more fuel than it used on its trip.
@@kroozin Awesome, Thanks so much !!
@@kroozin Just a quick question, i started building a rocket yesterday and i went like this (bottom to top) Engine>fuel tank>silo>couling down>oreminer>silo>coupling down>ice miner>automation module. Will it work or will give some sort of error?
