Made a pretty stable build, 4 resin producers, 2 printers into a storage platform, conveyor belt to 3 extra large shredders, anti 2 trade platforms. Not sure if this is the most optimized in terms of ratios and production cost and all of that, but it wasn't clogging up anywhere
Thank you so much! I know I'm late but you just help me find out how to fully automate an infinite organic based energy supply!! Its max energy, infinite and sickkk! Thanks man!!
I actually scaled this up using large shredders! It works ok but it's not very efficient in terms of the amount of scrap you get per canister of soil. You can also make a similar build using auto extractors and using that resource to print something to scrap.
you can make an auto scrap/anything that costs astronimium farm for the scrap one you have extracters make astornonium to trade with the exo trade platform you need to have sensers auto activating the trade platform and auto arms bringing astorknownium to the trade platform than some bringing the packegers (or exo chips i think there better) form the trade platform to a scraper XL works best . for the anything that costs astronownium one do the same thing but you dont scrap the things you put them in storage i hope this guide helped you DONT FORGET POWER THIS SET UP WORKS ON ANY PLANET (or moon).
Interesting. I'd imagine that we can run around with a powered rover and simply drill our way into filling up medium fluid canisters with soil, then use that to create 8 resin per filled small soil canister. What's the appx amount of filled soil required to get 1 scrap?
If you're using resin, I used to shred medium storage units. They cost 2 resin to make, and scrap for .5 scrap (according to the wiki, I don't remember the numbers off the top of my head anymore). It'd take one canister of soil to make one scrap at those numbers. If you want something real easy, you can auto extract woflramite and auto print floodlights which shred for 1.5 scrap EACH. You just need to reseat the auto extracters every once in a while when it runs out.
I haven't built it yet but i think using 1 arm and one of everything instead of two and resource canisters instead of silo's would be cheaper and better Also doesn't this need repeaters for the soil sentrefuge and printer to work?
i made a single line of this. one auto arm kept grabbing and shredding the small printer so had to make them further apart with an extender and also make a small hole for the canisters to roll into so the arm would then grab it. another problem is i cant get the small printer to auto print even though the storage tower next to it has resin on it. how to you make it auto print?
You can filter what items the auto arms grab. There is a small slot on the auto arm, place an empty canister on the auto arm and the arm will only grab canisters. To make the printers auto print, you need to press the circular green button the printer interface. This sets the auto function to on. Hope this helps!
@@duckyobrien thanks yes i figured out the filter thing. i press the circular button and or the green button but still nothing.... just works once.... same with soil centrifuge... cant get either one to do auto
You need to filter what the auto arms grab by placing the item on the auto arm slot. For example, if you want the arm to grab only empty soil canisters, you need to place an empty soil canister on the auto arm slot.
You can filter what items the arms grab by placing an item on the slot on top of the base of the arm. If you place a canister there, the auto arm will only grab canisters. Hope that helps!
First select the item you want to print, and then there is a little circular button that you can depress. This will set automatic printing if it has power and resources. If it has no power, it will not print anything. And then press the green button and you should be able to go! Let me know if you need more help.
It's converting soil to scrap...It should be self explanatory. The entire build is based on soil and starts with soil. To make the claim that I don't do anything with soil is baseless as soil farming is its own entire thing in Astroneer. Also, if you want a guide on automating the soil gathering process itself, anyone who plays the game for more than a few hours should know that is not possible at the current state of the game. If it were, I would title the video "automated soil gathering" and make a guide on that alone.
I’ve been planning on doing a scrap from, and this is pretty much how I thought it would be
Nice

Good job dude \o/

Awesome dude! Glad it helped!
my auto arms grab my printers
This is a really nice setup! this works wonders for me!
Glad it helped!
This helped out a lot. THANKS!
Glad it helped!
Curious to see how you would scale this up to late game production! Would you use a different material? Larger shredders?

@wird klap If you auto extract wolframite and print and scrap floodlights, it's a pretty darn efficient scrap factory.

Ty just what I was looking for take my sub
Glad it came in handy!

Also doesn't this need repeaters for the soil sentrefuge and printer to work?
Good idea! Also the centrifuge and printers do not need repeaters, they have that functionality built in.
@@duckyobrien even better! Thank you for the videos i truly enjoy them. Keep up the good work
@@ariamh823 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the videos.
Pretty cool
Danks
really helpfull video, thanks
Glad it helped \o/

@@duckyobrien maybe they removed that function since you made the video?
@@Sam-fp8zm Forgot to mention that you also need to make sure the print button is pressed as well. My bad. Let me know if that helps!
@@duckyobrien i tried it again and cant get it...
i tried to make this build and it works but the auto arms grab the small printers and shred them with the soil canisters

@@duckyobrien oh thank you so much it works now
@@maverickyaldo3824 NP, glad it helped! I forgot to mention that step in the video so a lot of people had trouble with the arms grabbing stuff.
for me, my auto arms grab my small printers and grind them any way of fixing that?
You can filter what items the arms grab by placing an item on the slot on top of the base of the arm. If you place a canister there, the auto arm will only grab canisters. Hope that helps!
life hack. thanks. then can trade scrap for anything!
Once you go scrap, you never go back.
How do I get the printers to automatically print??? It's not working for me
First select the item you want to print, and then there is a little circular button that you can depress. This will set automatic printing if it has power and resources. If it has no power, it will not print anything. And then press the green button and you should be able to go! Let me know if you need more help.
My arm grabs the small printers how do I fix that
You can make the arms grab only the small canisters by putting a small canister on the item slot on the arm itself.
Neat idea 👍
Thanks dude!
may I have your saved games, I am a beginner of this game and really want to learn some technics.
This is also just in creative mode so I suggest checking that out! It's pretty easy to tinker around in.
Name it scroil
Has a nice ring to it.
Shouldn't this be called "A guide to automating Resin to scrap"? You aren't doing anything with soil at all here

Did u not see the soil centrifuge? Lol
