Great Video and everything shown. Really like the nested drill and spiral one also.

Ok so if I add a rotor to the right drill will it boar out a big circle as long as a set the rotor to a different velocity and slow the piston extension

Refineries pull the first ore in a cargo container. And will pull from closest containers first. So you can manually move huge stacks around in the cargo container to help refine through large amounts of ore first.

How do you get yours not to bounce and shake, because every time i make any of these they bounce really bad.

could use a event controler, alarm and broadcast for when a rotor head brakes on spinny drills

Cut the crap and use Isys inventory manager like everyone in the world. Sorters are only for ejecting stone

If you build a connector to a container then build a small grid drilling rig plunge miner you can build it basically off your starting ship and be drilling right off the bat

Just got the game~! this guide helped al lot, however question what did you use for the secondary solar panel's pillar, I've been trying to find a smooth cylinder block like that in the Block section and I can't find anything

What i do is: SORTER (drain ore) -> LARGE CARGO -> Refineries -> SORTER (Drain Ingots) -> LARGE CARGO -> SORTER (Ingots Out). But might add an extra sorter in there to be able to separate commonly used from stuff that takes ages

Not a multiplayer type person, and extremely particular, so ore goes into an overflow, then small cargo strapped to a single refiner for each material that flow into ingot overflow, with a separate container for each type of ingot. But if I had to worry about PCU or something Id probably do 3 with a separate one for Cobalt. MAYBE a fourth for Uranium.

in addition to reversing the hinge, the event controllers can also extend the pistons for you. - start by setting the piston maximum distance to 0m - set a second slot in the Event Controller (by pressing CTRL + 2-9,0) to "Increase Maxium Distance" of the piston This will extend the piston 0.5meters per reversing, which the drills can easily handle. Similar, set up a Braodcast Controller to tell you when the Overfill Event Controller is stoping the dirlls.

A trick I found was that if you take 2 drills and a hinge. Put the hinge at 25degrees and velocity of the pistons at .05. When fully extended move the hinge go 45 degrees. More with less! Love the event controllers. They've been nothing but headaches for me. That and sorters allowing black listed things through because SE1 is still in beta

About the only thing i make sure of is that i have a refinery with 3-4 Speed modules on my mining vessel, set to only process Stone. I don't like dumping Stone, but i do want it out of the way as much as possible.

Well if you think of the ducting system like a computer BUS it can only handle so much in one duct, so you're bottlenecking in 2 places the 4-way splitter is the most obvious one, and the piston, add more pistons and another storage plus piping and you'll see a huge processing speed increase

🔥🔥🔥

Hey bud, your gonna need a way to get stuff out of the survival kit, at the moment you can only grab small items as you cant reach the large port. I would suggest putting the drill on the front of the cockpit and making it so the hydrogen engine, O2/H2 generator and the collector are separated from the rest of the conveyor network. So drop the hydrogen engine to where the drill is currently, put the O2/H2 on the back end of that and swap out the conveyor junction with a medium cargo. This would also then allow you to remove the conveyor converter as you will have a small conveyor pointing up for the hatch. Nice looking pontoon tho bud.

Good video, viewed without the 'new creator intro' it's about perfect length and pace, you have an above average voice and way of communicating, i'd say. Good content, keep creating

6:00 If only I had seen this when I was first designing my mothership. It took me FOREVER to troubleshoot why my refineries were mixing. I kept picturing my idealized, linear flow, and failed to compute potential through and back-flow of raw ore through my "ingot lines."

I actually made a trash compactor using a relay. The tugboat activated the relay which caused the trash compactor to activate and Crush blocks into the trash compactor. Activating the relay is second time brings the trash compactor back open although it's also on a timer

You can do some really cool things with relay blocks. For example, you can have an automated mining ship activate the relay back to your docks and the ducks can Auto assign a landing pad for the automated mining ship and send the relay signal back to the automated mining ship. OR your production base can automatically call for specific resources when it starts running below a certain amount from several other locations

Turning the lights on and off could be done with a single Event controller just use the next page on the action page for the off panel. I also suggest showing how and why the 2 cargo system by having a o2h2 generator and a refinery between the small container and the larger cargo container showing how it prevent ore clog from drills. Good Video though!

inch worm or infinity drills as they seem to be called at times, to me are the best you can do where it comes to fire and forget drilling. Setup is a bit more complicated, but when it works you can just do other things while ressources come in the background till render range or the stellar objects gravitational center is reached.

Good vids man!

very cool, ty!

How to get a background like this instead of space???

My current base setup for my main factory is similar to the setup at 8:00, only, I use 3 sets of 4 refineries (so 12 total), where ty he first 4 only focus on iron and nickel, where it prefer 3 speed and 1 yield. The next 4 does co, mg, and si, where it will either do 3 speed and a yield, or power efficiency (since you never need a TON of any of those, but they take a while me to process either way, I'm leaning towards power efficiencyto not drain to much over time with the high speed). The last 4 does au, ag, it, and ur with 2 speed and 2 yield. I have all 3 sets in a square grid with a 4x2 stack of H2 tanks for fuel storage in a nice big factory room. All sorted and automatic. Since none of the setups do more than 4 different items, you could still do at least 1 of each ore simultaneously- but I'll have to split it manually since I'm too lazy to get that detailed with it

Ok, so built the same thing, but when I float over to the cargo box, I can't withdraw my stone😮

What Should I add to the CRC?

Awesome video! Just wanted to add something: I really like compact ship and base builds, so while the basic refinery isn't power efficient, I'd never say its useless, since its way smaller, thus, lets you build small vessels while still having the capacity to refine some ores :).

you showed me how its done, therefore you deserve a sub. thank you

Hi I'm not great with the automation. I was wondering if you could explain how you set up the Last set up with the timer blocks and buttons

Just what I was looking for. Great video!

It's basically a timer block without the timer but with a (radio) channel a much wanted block for me personally. I have for example several drones flying around my space station making sure everything is safe. They are fully autonomous meaning they will come back to base when the battery is low or they are out of ammo to reload and will go on again on patrol after. They will also send a message if they are under attack and the others in range will convey to assist the drone. If I want to recall all my drones back to their docking ports I simply press a button which sends a signal to all drones in range which till trigger their return sequence. With the broadcast controller you can send these messages also to chat so you visually know your drones are engaging some target (which might not be very near in my case as they patrol around 5-10km range).

Nice

So, like, um, ugh, like, like, um. Jesus H Christ, dude. Go to a speech therapist...

Honestly? I put refineries in all my mining stations that specifically deal with the stone and ore on site. the material you get from it is generally worth the effort, but actually transporting it anywhere is pointless. Why would you waste valuable cargo space on fricken rocks instead of the actual ingots your after and an occasional mixed ingot shipment? in fact, pretty much the only thing i'm willing to ship in it's just pulled out of the drill form is ice.

sorry, but u screw around way to much. i can see this on a hundred other videos. i wanted to see more of the planet. any good base locations. any good sources of ice? have to guess u never played this game before. keep trying, u will get it some day.

Best advice dont build a drill platform. Build a drill vehicle instead.

Song at 6:30 ? also great video :)

yield module is the only module

Unfortunately I was not able to catch the stream but the last few minutes but was wondering will you be putting this up on the Steam Workshop? It looks like it will be fun to play with.

Once youre up to the refinery basic refinery is useless. Never use power efficiency mods total junk. Yeild mods are a trap and will slow your rate of production down from 500% to 180% per min. Speed mods are the only one worth using and are a must. Dedicated refinery per ore is a trap just like high vs low sorting. Use a 3 sorter node system and include an overflow. Ie have one that prevents cobalt, one that only allows iron, 1 only stone, etc as needed but use the third sorter to allow everything in if its dedicated ore isnt present. If youre having power issues use large reactor and no chance youre running low on power for an industrial complex. That timer block system seems like you have a bunch if mistakes in your logistics prior to this step.

A bit late to the party, but thank you for a great video. Good explanation. I myself have the piston regulated by checking the cargo percentage of the drills. if they are empty, i turn the pistons on. It is not fast, but its safe ;-) cheers.

Thanks this helped

Are you aware of the fact that you can press Ctrl + 1-9 to cycle through action tabs in the event controller set up action menu? The on/off indicator can be done with one event controller for example, and also do a bunch of other stuff relating to your condition. I get that this is not a PCU efficient design, just a proof of concept, but I wonder if you've ever used the event controller to do multiple things. Also since you only get nine tabs, I'd also suggest for toggle states such as these to group your lights, set one to off, and then simply select toggle on/off in the set up action menu, this way you can save an entire tab of the event controller, however you must be careful to inspect that the lights are in the correct state, and not inverted. I use such tricks all the time with airlocks and elevators and such. Hope my advice finds ya well! My last advice is a bit economical with materials and space but costly on pcu. If you put all of these event controllers and lights on a subgrid they could be small grid, and fit within the field of view inside a bridge or control room. I only just use event controllers to turn off my drlls when the cargo is full on my miner, and nothing else. That is usually enough information for me to know when it is time for me to return and unload, but fancy display lighting is very snazzy!

Chasing down the Unknown Signals is a nice diversion till kill a few minutes while waiting for ore to refine. With so my blinding sunlight you should consider dropping down a couple solar panels to supplement your power, maybe a battery even. How many steel sheets are in the basic refinery? At some point grind it down to finish the Refinery. Looking forward to seeing your list of what mods you are using.

This will become a feature for SE2
