How To: Fully Automated Trade Platforms, and Automated Astronium to Scrap

- Just wanted to share a video about some hassle free, fully automated setups for the trade platforms that take care of a lot of the repetitive manual trading. Just pick which setup suits you best and set it up in the exact same way and you will be trading in no time. As always if you have any questions or run into any issues let me know! :)

This is a lot more compact than my scrap setup. Then again I usually have three trade platforms go off at once. Love the medium shredder idea as well
Thats awesome! I like to set it up as a single scrap input and then have a trade platform for each resource that senses when it needs to fire off for more :)
Great work Tact, so many options with this set up. Already thinking on how I can use this to improve my Atrox build. :)
Awesome! Thanks Mo! :)
Nice setup... Thanks for the content 😍😍
Thank you so much! I will try this on my world
great collab with KUYA game !
keep creating amazing content !
Thank you very much!
very well done, sir!!
Thanks!
Astronium to scrap is very clever! Previously I've been using wolframite to scrap, which only yields about half as much. I'm not doing that anymore, lol.
Astronium trading is one of my favourite changes to the game! I now have a 'hellevator' in my base so i can drop straight to the astronium level and then fly back up with a full canister of astronium, so handy!
@@TactileObject a few months later we get the trains update, so that can be entirely automated
@@wqfled for sure! Before the trains were put in though i ended up making a conveyor of auto arms all the way up from the core, trains are much easier to setup tho :)
Great explanation. Will make my game easier
Awesome! :)
tysm!! it worked perfectly
Awesome! Have fun gamin! :)
When having the issue of unloading taking longer than loading, Why not use a platform B with medium storage on one of the sides, if you fiddle a little bit with the arms pickup area you can quite easily get the arm to only load the trade rocket, while letting the arm pick from the storage, this allows the unload arm to pick up items while the rocket is in the air, which makes the whole operation quite a bit faster.
Fantastic video, clean, cut, well presented, no jebaiting, just a quick little explanation and sample to show you the core necessary.
Gotta say though, it sucks that it takes so many moving parts to get a decently automated organics input into a production line. Every other resource is pretty clean but organics? Congratulations you need 2 trade platforms, logic gates, do a handstand while rubbing your tummy on the 2nd full moon of the 8th month with a wolf nibbling your ankles.
Lol thanks! I usually dont find the organic that bad because i rush for the trade platform. I always head to glacio before i even build a base and build home over there. Until i can get an extractor on the astronium i will just mine titanite and make medium silos to scrap or mine hematite and make medium shredders to scrap in the big shredder. So i already trade for everything as early as i can.
Haha i totally agree with your point though, they need to come up with something that is diggable/ have an extractor on it that just gives you organic
@@TactileObject Honestly I wouldn't mind if there was jsut a building that maybe worked like a shredder but instead went straight to organics, like an 'algae farm' that could be fed astro, resin, compound, graphite, ammo, etc in different rations for different returns.
Is organic hard to get when you need to for a little personal build? not at all. It's just a massive nightmare for automation and so in demand during automation that whyyyyyy
My current setup has xl platform with large canister feeding the trade platform and 2 auto arms unloads the jump jets into a 2 large shredders..and once in every 32 seconds the trade platform is Launched..
All these happens on just 2 platforms - 1x XL platform and 1 medium A platform
My trae platform isnt taking off once it has the required materials loaded onto it, what did I do wrong? I have everything set up exactly like yours except im using astronium to trade for jump jets to scrap.
Will it work if like storage sensor right on auto arm from astronium storage and for the scrap auto arm
Storage sensor only branched and pin for those 2 auto arms and a button repeater that pinned to trade platform
Will that work?
Nice video. How do you made so straight white lines ?:D
The perfectly straight paint lines are only possible in creative, but the flat soil and square shapes are possible in survival too. Check out my 'tutorials' playlist here on my channel and check out the ones i have on true flat :)
Is there a way to automate my trade platform but using less platroms? ex. extra large C platform?
i wanted to automate every single material in the game. i was thinking that the whole buffering system for each would simply be too much for the game to handle??
No you can definitely do it! I have had that setup before in one of my saves, nowadays i usually just build a single line that will auto trade for any material i need and fill up storages so i have everything on hand
For the one turning astronium into scrap i cant get it to send trade platform to be sent automatically, i put everything in right place still isnt working and also the count repeater stays at 0/2
Is there something i can do to fix it
If you arent getting any pings from the storage sensor then it is either set to the wrong mode or just has bad placement where it is not picking up the status of the platform. If you hover your cursor over the storage sensor does it say something like 'invalid placement' ?
I copied your astronium to scrap design but the shredders keep getting clogged up and don't want to put the scrap into the canister. Could you tell me what's the problem?
As long as the canister is on the same platform as the shredders it should definitely be grabbing the scrap, unless the canister goes empty and you have it set to output all of the time instead of input.
If you have it set to output all the time because it is feeding other machines you might want to swap out the canister for some medium silos!
@@TactileObject I've figured out by the time you replied but thanks I had to disable output because It wouldn't take the scrap but I made a system when my train goes to pick it up it enables and disables the output each time
“Prime the ‘auto arm”
How do I share a pic of my build?
How can you automate TNT exchange without it going "boom" ?
By NOT having it go near a shredder.
Its def possible, i can set something up and get you a vid clip!
@@TactileObject last time I had it going, the timer activated the trade platform - and the tnt was on the rockets... and boom.
Also I came up with a challenge - being the game with only shelters as power sources,
@@DeconvertedMan i will play around with the tnt lol full shelter power would be a lot of beacons!!
@@TactileObject shelters mini or max - what is better for power yield vs items to make?
Guy from discord
1)your setup explodes if the output gets clogged
2)my setup is on 2 platforms which is better than yours because less platforms means less room to make problems
okay i searched that guy someone was mentioning,and his design looked really similar to mine,although mine used 1 less storage sensor! :D
This literally just does not work idk what else to say
Still working in my save, what part you having trouble with?
@@TactileObject The trade platform doesnt activate on time, I'm sure that I triple checked your design for the 3:2 ratio. I am very confused but also maybe a lil bit stupid
Oh. Now it seems to be working. Idk what changed I just redid the target pins. Oh well!
@Ben Maatzzola it might have been that the first loading arm wasnt preloaded with an item at first. But now that it is working you shouldnt have to mess with it again. Glad its workin for you! :)
Doesn't work
Well its worked for a few hundred ppl so far, which part you having trouble with?
@TactileObject I set up like in the video, the first set up. I connected the storage sensor to the storage, two arms, and count repeater. The count repeater set to two and connected to the trade platform, the first auto arm set to on and second to off. The first arm loads the storage but doesn't trigger the second. Am I missing something?
Maybe I need to learn the basics first. I didn't mean to sound rude.
@Gallonofstew did you give the auto arm a piece to hold to begin with? The first time you turn the machine on you have to give the arm a piece of scrap to hold so that the count will be right, so when it turns itself off it should be holding a piece. After the first time you never have to touch it again. And no worries! Its frustrating when stuff doesnt work! Lol
