Thanks. It has been a long, long time since I have played Astroneer but having seen all of the new equipment I was enticed to go back to it. But I do see that some things have still not changed, which is why I am here. Why can they never give clear instructions of how to operate equipment? I don't expect them to show what I can do with the items but please, give us some basics like how to connect . . .
Hey, this helped a lot! I needed a way to streamline my fuel farm on Calidor so production doesn't halt once the sun goes down: now I have a battery bank that kicks on the self-loading coal generators when the cells are dry/off when they're full, AND an ammonium autoharvester!
I just found this and it's incredibly helpful; thanks so much! I hadn't bothered with much of the automation (aside from canisters and a bit of use with the arm) so far, but this really opened it up for me. Hope you're having fun with the CHEER update if you're still playing! :)
You solved my frustrations by telling me I could pick up that yellow cross... Damn that eluded me and I was what is this crap power sensor thing... Thanks for a good and simple intro to how it works, without spoiling best setups and stuff.
thanks for the detailed explanation of how to connect several machines with several segments to one sensor by using BRANCH ! that was something difficult or almost impossible to find out for me as a beginner, even when I otherwise have no problems with logic circuitry and almost no problems with sensors.

Good Info. Note: If you had connected to the platform rather than the individual fireworks, you could have launched them all. Creative mode was introduced a couple of updates ago. P.S. Spelling "Beginner" incorrectly on thumbnail is an interesting way to get viewer count up ;-)
Being able to enable a coal generator when batteries drain is a ctually super nice. I was constantly micromanaging that and now it's auntoated. And you can even refill those generators supplies if you need to. Well then, looks like I need to play more Astroneer again... For some reason, I totally skipped all the automation stuff till now.
I came here to automate gas production on Atrox. It used to be it would deposit a full canister and start again with no outside activation, but now once it has a full canister, it will turn off.
Wondering what one would use to provide enough power for an "Auto extractor" underground? As they need 8 power to run and the only source that gives that is a large solar array? Any tips? Thx for your video.
Use a large wind turbine and a few medium batteries, wind like light isn’t always available so as long as you have the battery power output that should be good enough, caves are difficult but doable with patience and enough resin for your platforms
I have a generator system that uses 2 arms, sorts the carbon from the smelter and puts it into medium cans, then another one grabs them and puts it into medium generators. Great for backup power if needed.
there is (at least now, a year after this video) a power switch: with F you can toggle power flow on and off. the text for power sensors is a bit misleading (at least, it was for me): power gained and power lost does not mean increasing or decreasing power (producing more or less than is used), but lost means "power network has been lost = network is down = has completely lost power" and gaining is just the opposite "power has come back, no matter how little" to make sensors useful, i will have to invent something like attaching two sensors for "power lost" and "batteries full" since the usual way signals (which really are just "push F") work is to send a signal eg when no power is available at all or when any power is available (no matter how much is available). thus power generation would be toggled off as soon as it starts producing the tiniest amount of power, then immediately toggled on again and on/off in rapid succession. probably a (very small buffer battery) would be useful that is filled, and only a sensor on that battery then turns power generation off again when it is completely full, after a sensor detected power loss (and not "power or no power") and started the power generation. attaching this battery sensor directly to one or more big batteries would cause the generator to work for quite a while and use lots of fuel even when in the meantime it is a windy day already and solar panels and wind turbines generate lots of power again. ps: i started playing only last week, and the problem of some machines to not properly restart seems to still happen sometimes as described in this one year old video for the arms, and i probably (if i didn't use them incorrectly) noticed something similar when trying to switch empty big resource canisters between "emptying" and "filling", or maybe there is a third state for "empty" and thus two presses of F might sometimes be required to completely cycle through three states ? need to do some more experimentation ...
The Storage sensor wont work for me... Tried it out on almost everything i found to plug it onto but still it wont send ANY signal. Can anyone help me over here?
Great video, I didn't even think of using the arms on a vehicle. An auto scrapping rover sounds even better now. You pronounce Terraria kinda funny, no insult, I pronounced it wrong too. It's pronounce TEAR-ARE-EE-UH
You mean to say the if/then logic is that simple? I gave up learning python just for this reason. My mind was making it way more complicated than needed...
it needs a lot of fine work. we need to select a place for the circles outselfs. and let it pick up only a TYPE of object. like refined ores only or just the ones you want to refine. say i dump my inventory from my truck. and a bunch of arms sort them in my storage for me and put the smeltables into the furnace and it's kinda ugly. i can't get my truck to turn on the generator i put in the trailer or the front when the internal battery runs out also the battery sensor needs a "fully charged" mode that turns stuff off. i wish they also added more minecraft like stuff. the ability for you to maybe make a "home" and do more. the replayability of this game is kind of limited after you unlock all the planet's cores which took me and my girlfriend 30 hours? it's a lot still but I just love this game to death
Repeater is a good way to toggle multiple things at once when they don't need specific automation. Perhaps you have a lit mineshaft, but only want the lights to be on and using power when you are acctive in the mine. You could drop the repeater at the door, like a light switch. ITs uses are more limited in automation obviously, since its a button.
this is probably the worst implementation of automation in a game like this. It's so finicky and basic. was really hoping for something more from these guys
I've found that if you hook up a small solor panel to a power senser it can act as a daylight senser which I use to turn my lights on and off
That is a great idea!
Thats so cool!
Sensor* and that is very cool

I'm telling you now there's going to be some guy that creates a computer
thanks mate
you are amazing. When the update came out, I had no idea how anything worked

God i wished i was tgi's son, playing videogames with my dad? a dream and a half!
I agree! I don't have an adopted dad.. ;-;
Me and my dad play games all the time :),the only thing is that I have a step dad and a bio-dad so I end up playing games with both
Stop sending those used rockets into my yard!
lol
Great video! I just started a world with my wife. This will definitely help keep the base organized. 👍
Lucky guy to having the wife to play with. Have fun!

thank you so much for this!!! I really hope they are working on a tutorial for this stuff
I've men playing Today for 3 years. Now I'm on this for fun. Thanks for the video.
Have fun!
Very helpful and informative, thanks for uploading it :)
Glad it was helpful!
is that a b o o m e r
Thanks for the guide this really helped a lot.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, great explanations! I really appreciate this!

lol Guess I need to fix that thumb. Good tip for the platform!
bet you're fun at parties
That branch thing was running me crazy. Thanks
Thank you so much ❤️ i learned a lot of things bcuz of u thanks a lot ☺️
You are welcome. Thank you for the feedback!
Wow this realy helped!
video helped out a lot thank you very much kind sir
You're welcome!
God i had no clue when the update came out thx
thank you for this helpful video
You are welcome!
thx,very helpful
god i love this game. great video btw
Thanks!
Very Nice, top
Being able to enable a coal generator when batteries drain is a ctually super nice.
I was constantly micromanaging that and now it's auntoated.
And you can even refill those generators supplies if you need to.
Well then, looks like I need to play more Astroneer again...
For some reason, I totally skipped all the automation stuff till now.
What signals do is toggle. If something is on and recieves a signal, it will toggle it, turning it off.
My question is if you take a battery or power sensor and attach it to a shelter does it detect the shelter power?
hahaah "whats in the canister?"
you know what we REALLY need?
_Conveyor belts._
PLEASE
@@whitehammer1972 YOU'RE WELCOME
Thanks.
I came here to automate gas production on Atrox. It used to be it would deposit a full canister and start again with no outside activation, but now once it has a full canister, it will turn off.

This game will definitely turn my brain to mush
What if I put the target pin on somthing I can research.
I have a generator system that uses 2 arms, sorts the carbon from the smelter and puts it into medium cans, then another one grabs them and puts it into medium generators. Great for backup power if needed.
Sounds awesome, you should do a video showing it!
Is there an automation of power? (Turn off certain things when they are not needed or turn certain power system to direct in a exact section?)
there is (at least now, a year after this video) a power switch: with F you can toggle power flow on and off.
the text for power sensors is a bit misleading (at least, it was for me): power gained and power lost does not mean increasing or decreasing power (producing more or less than is used), but lost means "power network has been lost = network is down = has completely lost power" and gaining is just the opposite "power has come back, no matter how little"

Great video, I didn't even think of using the arms on a vehicle.
An auto scrapping rover sounds even better now.
You pronounce Terraria kinda funny, no insult, I pronounced it wrong too. It's pronounce TEAR-ARE-EE-UH
Its a very old habit to break. I pronounced it wrong for years for some reason and it stuck.
I thought it was pronounced TER-ARE-REE-UH
wait how do you get the robots
You mean to say the if/then logic is that simple? I gave up learning python just for this reason. My mind was making it way more complicated than needed...

i can't get my truck to turn on the generator i put in the trailer or the front when the internal battery runs out
also the battery sensor needs a "fully charged" mode that turns stuff off.

You forgot the auto miner
I made a separate video for that one. Had some good laughs too. Check in my videos.
I'm trying to think of one practical reason to use the timer / repeater but I can't think of one.
Repeater is a good way to toggle multiple things at once when they don't need specific automation. Perhaps you have a lit mineshaft, but only want the lights to be on and using power when you are acctive in the mine. You could drop the repeater at the door, like a light switch. ITs uses are more limited in automation obviously, since its a button.
Bre thunks
Honestly, only the battery sensor looks useful. The other node things seem pointless (except for firework achievement).
the best part about the auto arm is that you can have a specific item in the middle of the auto arm and it will only pick up that itome
He mentions it
id sub bro, but 669 subs..
well, didnt take long someone did sub at 670 now.. guess ill do it too now.
there. 671! keep up the good stuff.
=D
Man you take a long time to explain the most obvious things.
hah! and this is one of my shorter videos.
Some people are new to the game entirely so its appreciative that he took the time smart guy.
Watching this with no sound and only captions is painful.
LOL but why no sound? Don't like my voice?
this is probably the worst implementation of automation in a game like this. It's so finicky and basic. was really hoping for something more from these guys
Pronouncing Terraria like diarrhea, lol
old habit that is hard to break. =D
Most confusing game
Ok so like NO ONE can explain this game properly without yapping on bullshit, its a guide so guide us without mumberling on
