Yes! This works with small grids.

MastersLCD2 script

Yes, that video was my initial reaction and playing around. I realized that a little bit later.

Yeah, it was a bit exessive for a demonstration. If I were to redo the video, I would probably use a smaller container as my primary intake. Rather than drill wall my way to a full container.

Possibly, I saw an interesting drill concept that a buddy of mine did that sounds like this.

That is true, and if you fill up all the pages, it can trigger even more. This is more if i want different actions to happen based on the status of the light.

@@KiltedBastard sorry, I meant the event controller. It’s two action states each allow 10 activations.

That makes a bit more sense.

I'm playing on earthlike, in your visual settings there should be an option to turn down the grass.

Your Welcome!

I will have to check to make sure if they patched it during the signal update. But the sun bleed through effect worked when I tested it on the 1st(May 2024)

​@KiltedBastard did they patch it or does it still work? I just tried and im pretty sure it doesn't work anymore.

@malachinye9095 I did it recently, and it still seemed to work.

Definitely, I have a few new ones planned.

Oh god, I naturally tune her out, never even notice her in the background. That funny glad your dog found entertainment in the video as well!

I know, right? though let's give the community a few weeks and see what they come up with.

Kinda silly but ok

A missile release and fire combo with adaptive target switching. A sentry drone sensor grid using AI and Signal blocks. To get long range lockons to deploy missiles out side of 2.5K's.

Hey man glad you found the videos helpful. Also allow me to welcome you the the space engineers community!

Awesome, I look forward to seeing you there.

@@KiltedBastard I joined today... Are you running a Multiplayer server too? Some of my friends and I have been playing for years and we stream every once in a while but I'm looking to "broaden my horizons" and get more time on other people's games.

Yes, we absolutely have a server, and I would love for more players to join.

@@KiltedBastard Excellent! Let me know where and when... I typically play on my days off so I will be on there a LOT

Typically we have most of our activity over the weekend, with myself on in the evening CST.

If materials are not transferring between your drill and cargo. it means that either you are ore bound (your cargo is full and won't take anything else) or you have a break in your conveyor system. As of the wind turbines, if it is your only power block on the grid it could just be a graphical issue. If it's not something else is powering your drill.

Hmm, did you weld the piston part to functionality?

I can probably do that I am running a script to do so (which is unavailable for the console version)

@@KiltedBastard Thank you. I'm on PC. I try to do what I believe is correct, rename the LCD's, etc. Never works correctly for me. I can get the ore detector scan working in cockpits- but it is so small, it's useless. Thanks again.

That is true, and I do love the stackable stackable wind turbine mods. Though I do have to ask what's your top 5 must have mods, I wanna see if it lines up with mine.

@@KiltedBastard Good morning, I have a few, Q-Tech has to be one of the top 5 if not just for the cargo containers capacity, solar panels, antenna size. Next, it HAS TO BE Nanobot Drill and Fill System. Together with Build And Repair TwinScyhe edition (2km range) Obviously, MA stackable Wind Turbine. Another MUST is Azimuth ore detector and I chose the Space detector as it goes beyond 5km range. This mod works like gold with another mod called Ore Detector Reforged. Speed limit 500 These are the starter mods for a new base, then I have a few more for Quality of Life, like colorful icons, reducing drill sounds, ect.

One of the most popular scripts on the workshop is AutoLCD2. Lets you display all kinds of info on your LCDs to make managing your base easier. Even works in cockpits. Scripts are vanilla, but you may have to go into your world settings to enable them.

Welcome to the community! That's a script (that's on the Steam workshop) called Automatic LCDs 2. And the author, MMaster, has a full guide linked on the workshop page. In addition, there are a few people here on KZfaq who have some really useful videos on AutoLCDs2, like Splitsie, if you're not already familiar with his content. Edit: Ah, I apologize; I didn't see that you were on console right away. Unfortunately, Sony and Microsoft don't allow clientside scripts due to "security concerns".

Yeah I am using the AutoLCD Script, so sadly it doesn't work on consoles. But welcome to the community!

Now that I think about it not the first Time I heard that, I may have to test that out. It is kinda along the same lines of crowding your wind turbines, Never really been much a issue that I have felt the need to try it.

Just did a quick test, and you are correct. That does work stacking the old solar panels back to back.

Glad you liked it!

Absolutely! Just make sure you group your pistons and assign a button for extension, a button for retraction, one button that turns the pistons on or off, and one for the drills to turn on or off.

Wow. Any video on that?

Are you playing PC or Console? For the PC you hold Ctrl and click the slider. Not sure what it is for the Console.

Now you're thinking like a space engineer!

Glad you liked it! I have to give props to you console players, my son has SE for the PS and I'm completely lost with the controls.

I have done this, it works out quite well for large and small grid Rovers.

Yes, it is, and if you are playing your own modded game, go for it. But some servers don't have build and repair, or someone might not want to or have the ability to use mods such as build and repair.

@@KiltedBastard ok

Sounds like you are over filling or your refineries are getting bogged down. your drills will always push cargo to the available storage, and if there is no available storage they will get stuck in the drills. in my Video titled "Every drill should have this" I go through a overflow protection for your system. if it is your refineries try adding a conveyor line from your refineries to your cargo set it to whitelist, target ingots, and check drain all. Then set a line going to your refineries that is either set to a cargo container not tied into your main storage, or setting up a sorter in that line that black list ingots. hope this helps

You are absolutely correct, I really just wanted to focus on the basics of 3d printing in SE. While reviewing the video before upload I started writing down different improvements for the printer that I would personally use. and I already have a pretty sizable list (that includes a couple of point you made) I will add the projector suggestion while I probably wouldn't use it much personally, I do know some servers you are only allowed 10-12 max so having a printer that can handle both would make absolute sense.

that is a good question, I have not noticed it not working for this system.

You are absolutely correct but while that is true, I have found that I tend to prefer having the extra EC. Also sometime my on/off triggers are not the same and that will require multiple EC.

Awesome! Glad to be of help.

Hmm, tough one without seeing it. I can't really troubleshoot. But check your setting, and maybe try manually cycling the first time (EC don't like to fire if they start off in their trigger threshold).

@@KiltedBastard I had to manually hit the reverse once and it all seemed to kick on normally. Been working perfectly for a while now. Thanks for the tutorial!

@@MeatwagonUKawesome! glad it is working now!

You can absolutely add pistons in other directions to affect a larger area!
