Conveyor Choute

Hi,

Is it me or this thing is so OP that it is almost an exploit. 

Basically it will deliver stuff without limit. I cleaned 3 organic biomes building temp autosweepers and drop everything on one tile (in fact 3 tiles as this thing drop stuff with radius) to be distributed after making  - it the smallest storage ever.

There's many ways of doing that now, the arm/dropper setup is just the standard tradeoff between building infrastructure and dupe labor.

You can exploit just about anything you want.  You can achieve the same thing using an automatic dispenser.  Or pairing a sweeper with automation to make it drop something.  Or, if you don't like automatic, you can build a normal storage bin, tell it to store "all" and "sweep only" and every time it gets full, un-click and re-click the 'store all' button.

 

... Or...

What i meant is that all above optiont ( automated arm drop or setup from pic or anything really) start to be kind if pointless. Of course you can achive this in many ways  but every other way force you to either use an exploit ( arm drop) either make some serious endgame storage system. But with this chute you jist place it somewhere put sweeper next to it and thats it. Job done. All those smart fancy systems become useless  even material dispenser has limit and you have to use ladder as exploit if you want tilo have infinite storage.

That's because it wasn't an exploit, it was a clever use of mechanics, and Klei liked the idea so much they just put it in the game. Enjoy.

In that case... i will.

I'm still waiting for them to do the same with liquid and gas storage (clever use of game mechanics can create infinite storage for gas and liquid, so why not give us such a building...). Till then, the Bigger Capacity mod is my personal favorite mod.

Me too! I used to use infinite gas/liquid storage tricks until I decided it was more fun to just have useful reservoir buildings set to 100t each.
