MRhythm Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 sorry for my poor English. I tried to build a solar panel system without airlock breaker and collect every piece of regolith. Here's what I got. Design Principles Buildable as early as possible. Less material, simple build technical. Modularization, expandability. Simple automation, fully unmanned. No continuous resource required. Red Box is the standard module, you can repeat build this part when resources are sufficient. Green Box has no difference with redbox except automation part. Tested for 100 cycles, no regolith missed, no overheat, no damage. Details Automation : Bunker Door: Connect all scanner in series, and a FILTER GATE, a NOT GATE. filter time depends on scan network quality. ( floor time - 44s) Airlock: Use a XOR GATE to temporarily open it for several seconds (45s~50s), when Bunker Door fully opened, so regolith on the top can fall off. Cooling: simple! Expandability: you can build part of the system in early game, working with less feature. Phase 1: no miner, clear regolith manually. Phase 2: Auto-miner, make sure cooling system is online. Phase 3: Fully deployed. Priority set: Battery & Cooling Room: In early game, use wheezewort for cooling is enough. But when solar panle deployed on the full top, it'll be better to use a Steam Turbine Kit. Warning: Don't forget use smart battery and power shutoff to manage power output, insufficient power may cause disastrous consequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Nice! I was just looking for ways to combine miners, sweepers and cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you don't like the idea of allowing them to be buried in regolith as a method of cooling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the little disadvantages that a) you need space materials and b) you need to make sure at least one does not get buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my approach, too energy intensive. Also, leaving things to chance is not my approach either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regolith is just slightly above the overheat temp of steel buildings so it doesn't take much energy to cool Your other point I can respect, best of luck to you friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did misunderstand that then. Your design is fine, it is just not the only possible or reasonable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
