Are you tired of sorting boxes and your furnaces turning off? It's time to optimize rust. I'm going to show you how to turn your lame drop box into a sorting and cooking machine! With this system you'll be able to watch as your loot is sucked away and sorted exactly where you want it! Not only that thanks to this auto sorting system your ores will go straight into a furnace and out into the right spot!
A Must have for every solo and a massive luxury, this tutorial sets you up for the perfect automated base! for any group
Automation is changing rust and you need to keep with the times!

Update/Revision: You CAN bypass the separate cooking system and ignore sucking ore into it's own box. This will allow you to immediately pump any cooked ore back into the system and sort as with any other items by running your furnace directly into your drop box combiner. The drawback to doing so is your drop box will always be filled with ore while cooking and this may require you to have more drop boxes. I would still do things as I've shown in this video as I would prefer to separate out any uncooked ore and save me drop box space (I tend to come home with full inventories)

@statitica5662 Жыл бұрын

Nice guide, but you might add: - Increased speed out of the dropbox by linking two storage modules *on the same box* - Electrical splitters don't need to use only port 1 & 3. They automatically balance on whichever outputs are used. - You can keep everything sorted by having another conveyor excluding the items you put into a box, pumping other items back into the start of the system. That way your messy teammate can't give you a reason to throw a spear at him.

Once the base is fleshed out, I redo the whole lot in one go. Just be aware that building and upgrading can disconnect pipes (especially the vanilla sheet metal model), and it always seems to disconnect the pipe going to the furnace against the back wall...

I really love the automation of my whole base and even I could learn something from this video. Like putting the ore in a box before it gets sucked into the furnace to get the dropbox nice and empty. What I personally do differently (aside from a way nicer piping xD) is that I highlight my pipes in different colors so that I always know which pipes are going in which loot room. That makes it easier for me if I need to reconnect something or boxes get destroyed etc. I do the same with my electrical. It´s not much more time you need to invest but it makes everything cleaner and nicer imo. Keep on Reks. Love your content.

An extra tip: You can connect a second wall of conveyors, one for each going in, with an inverted filter (copy and paste and select to exclude) all going into combiners and into the dropbox. Set the filter fail of each original conveyor to the power input for each respective one, and now you have your loot automatically moving back to your dropbox if put in the wrong place and back into autosorting system for only the frag cost of combiners and conveyors. It does have the slight downside of the box not sending items out of its full and has possible items to bring in, but unless you are overwhelming the system with items it should'nt happen, and even then its just a slight limitation of saving half the power, not a downside of adding them. Props to @x-tremespeed for this one, goat.

They did recently add a seasons system to Rust, where the sun changes positions throughout the wipe cycle, which could easily be its own video topic if you chose to dig into that. Some people have made documentations on Rust’s seasons, however I haven’t come across any videos explaining it in layman’s terms. Anyway, thanks for the automation guide, cheers

You can't really see anything about it without running your own server, but the day and year do change in rust over time. Sesh isn't wrong and the sun can change position based on how far into a wipe it is

@bhartley1024 3 ай бұрын

Seasons have been a thing in Rust for a long time, at least since 2020 when I started playing. They just weren't as noticeable because solar panels were using the wrong vector to the sun. The Rust island is 10 degrees south, 25 degrees west Rust servers start with the date being May 20, 2024 by default. Before around Oct 10th you'll generally want panels facing somewhere in the north, after that, they should face south. That's a difference of 143 days and since 1 real time hour is 1 day in-game, that means the changeover happens 143 hours after wipe, around 6 days. 6 months in-game is around 7.6 IRL days. So If you play a monthly wipe, you'd want to flip your panels every week. If you can afford it, just place two panels. I think generally East/West works better than North/South, but I'd need to do more testing to know for sure which one is better on average.

I’m on a server where large and small furnaces (when using automated industrial components) only fill ores into the first slot until it full or until a different item needs to be smelted, rather than evenly spreading the ore across all the slots to reach max efficiency. Is this intended? Is this normal for all servers? Is there a way to instead fill each slot evenly rather than the first one when using automation?

@kvasirofold4784 11 ай бұрын

Good vid. I would add something though. It doesn't make it more complicated, and could save someone's sanity. 1 memory cell, one more conveyor, and a small box. Put the memory cell just before the splitters. Put the conveyor above the furnaces and have it set to pull the cooked ore into the small box. Have the small box output go to your industrial splitter to be sorted to their boxes. Why do this? Because no one wants to hear those furnaces going nonstop. It will drive you crazy. Now, when you put ore in the drop box, it will pull into the furnaces on automatically, then when all of it is cooked, they automatically turn off. It of course can get much more complicated from there.

100%, the easiest way imo, directly connect the output of the ore into the tc w/ a conveyor and this would allow you to also set the limitations on how much (ie you could tell it to always only hold 4k metal in tc and keep the rest in the box), I would keep in mind that a combiner before going into the tc is probably best to allow you to also send from other sources

I don't use the electric ones for that very reason. I automate the small furnaces because even though you need more of them than you would using large furnaces, they take up less space for the same smelting rate. If I have more charcoal than I need and I'm short on wood, then the electric ones would be useful. You can also automate oil refineries and just run them empty to make charcoal, since they take 1.5s to burn 1 wood and the other furnaces take 2s.
