Yeah that’s what I was thinking would be the easiest way too, just insert a delay between the conveyers stopping and the smelter triggering. It would also be good if the smelter could output its state, so then you can just detect when the smelter is open, then put that through a delay and then close it again.

Loved seeing the automation aspect of this. I'm a programmer - and any games that have this involved make me very happy. As for dealing with the random resources getting through... You can likely get rid of the magnets if you have your weight sensor stop the belts dropping the resources, but add a 1-2s delay to the bar being spit out. That adds room for additional resources to fall in/be caught, while preventing any more from getting in the way. then have the sensor which detects the bar is out/leaving - that immediately trips the smelter to reset, and then a very small delay after turns the belt dropping the resources back on. This does mean the bars will vary slightly in weight between them though, not sure if that's undesired. Edit: posted this right before the revision which pretty much resolved the problem lol. solid job, if it works it works!

@jtcustomknives Жыл бұрын

In the lumber mill we have this problem. It’s solved by 2 things. One is a speed up belt. Boards from a slower conveyor are fead onto a faster conveyor belt. This increases the gap between the boards so thy can be dropped out at the right time. The second way is a waterfall. The boards are dropped off the end of a set of chains into a gully of sorts. Then a set of chains come up from under the pile of boards with lugs just tall enough to catch one board. This way boards are kept spaced and in the proper position and can be dropped into the correct trays as the computer keeps track of each board in each lug spot. It might work in the game if you can change conveyor speeds and extend them longer so thy drop onto a slow conveyor then to a real fast conveyor. Never played this game but it looks really interesting

I think you should when the trigger is activated first stop the conveyor that drops into the furnace, then wait for every bits to fall into the furnace then you activate it. Way simpler because having a 21 weight bar is way less of a problem than the complexity of the machine and the loss that falls through and lags out the map

@loganwerner5888 Жыл бұрын

One thing I wanna see, since I’m OCD, I kinda want to see you put funnels at the ends of the conveyors and the bars fall into an old smelter, so that way it doesn’t lag as badly and so that way it looks cleaner. Or you can do something like what you have right now and automate it so that way the bars fall into another logic smelter and when it reaches, maybe 5000, it dumps it out and you can just be happy with a bunch of 5000 pound bars in your base

Having had to deal with these types of circuits in the past, I just think about the job of maintaining it. It really makes me think about simplifying it and reducing the errors it can generate. I would start by getting more precise timings of the worst cases for each operation in the circuit, where a process takes place, to determine the number of cycles each instruction takes. That should help you to determine how long to keep the conveyor belt turned off, wait for all possible materials to fall, wait for it to compress, eject, materials get clear and close up the receptor for new materials before you return function to the initial belt. You should not even need the magnets or the ejection sensor at the end if you get those timings figured out.

Also you can take your hand cart down into the dwarven mine. The dwarven mine also goes SIDEWAYS, so you can build outward instead of down. I dont think I'll personally be playing with any of the logic. Oh! The pressure tanks you put the crystals in are for THE END or MIDDLE of your lines where pressure is starting to suck and it boost the pressure back up. Also putting a pressure gage towards the end of your line so you know what the pressure is.

Hi RCE. With your current automation, you will have some resources get lost for the following reason. Iron in the smelter has a weight of 99. Then 2 iron chunks come up basically touching each other. The first chunk makes the weight over 100 and so activates the pouring of the bar, which makes the second chunk of iron miss because it is too far from the magnet. As a solution to resources being missed when the smelter its pouring the bars (and possibly a simpler solution to the current one involving lots of magnets). Why not change your logic to the following. 1) sensor to detect if the weight is 100 or more 2) when a weight of 100 or more is detected, the convertors are turned off 3) with a 1 second delay from turning of the conveyors, the bar is pored 4) the smelter is reset 5) with a 1 second delay on the message to reset the smelters, the conveyors are turned on again. You will get some variance in the weights of bars with this, but there will be variance anyway as the chunks are not all the same size.

@stephenwinter8897 Жыл бұрын

Also, instead of using bar weight 100, you could use the weight needed to build more mining tools. That way you can see you have enough iron for x number of miners (and so on for the other resources needed)

So, when the smelted ore hits 20 for example. Maybe you can cut the power for the conveyor for that specific ore for a few seconds and then have the bar be dropped out with a second delay so that any ore has the time to be dropped, but no new ore is supplied. Though this depends on if you can cut the power of the conveyors and it doesn't matter if the bar has a slightly larger weight every now and then. I hope this can work.

My thoughts; if you create a lower level conveyor belt for the dropped bits to land on and cycle them back into the system then, eventually 100% of them will be fed into the system. So instead of trying to use the magnets to pick up the delta's, allow them to fall onto a lower level conveyor belt that feeds them back into your system.

@JohnRobinson1983 Жыл бұрын

Instead of using the weight of the contents of the smelter to trigger the conveyors/magnets, how about collecting all the ore on a platform, weighing that, and then when that reaches the threshold stop the conveyors and move only the contents of that platform into the smelter. It should mean there'll be no way for any extra ore to come along late and avoid the smelter, although your bars will be slightly different sizes if a piece or two extra makes it onto the pre-smelt platform.

@Kuffen90 Жыл бұрын

There should be a logic hopper, so that if it gets a signal it closes and on a 0 it opens giving the smelter access or to make it more complicated having the hopper read content and only drop on x and then the bar gets made as the hopper is closed to collect, that way no reasource gets through

I don't have the game though so I can't confirm if it works lol. That being said a few wires are fine as long as the thing works lol

Just looking at those wires fried my brain, well done.

I feel like this could’ve been done by maybe just counting the resources before they get put into the smelter and then when it reaches a certain value it stops the conveyors behind it so no more resources can go in. That would mean splitting up the water source tho. So I guess wherever the counter is located, he would have to have pretty much two pipe systems. One for the conveyors before the counter and one for the ones after. that way the conveyors after the counter can keep running and reset the system

At the risk of being "thatsthejoke.jpg"-ed, I love the bit at 18:46 where he says "almost flawlessly at the moment you can see a stuck piece of gold ore.

It would be much easier to set a timer to unload all smelters every X seconds. THEN, check the weight of any ingots, and if they are too small, they get diverted back to the original conver belt and dumped into the same smelter again. Only bars over a certain weight can pass inspection. And you can choose a different weight for each bar if you wanted.

This logic system is actually very similar to the red stone system in minecraft

I think the problem is, that it's using tri-state logic without explicitly saying so. And it's doing it inconsistently, so you can never be sure what's going to happen until you try it out. Tri-state btw has 3 states (surprisingly!). 1, 0, and "not-connected", as if the wire weren't connected at all. So you don't get a 0 or 1, you get "nothing". That's what the "1 separator" pipe is all about. I think they've tried to keep it simple but messed it up in the process. Still, could be worse. Could be Fallout 4.
