Banastor Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 My idea involves the creation of computers, computers will be functional 1x1 structures that will allow up to four automation wires inputs/outputs. Computers can be "opened", granting access to a "separate location" (similar to how rocket modules work) where the user will be able to place bigger or more complex automation devices. In order to build a computer, you would need a computer microchip, to obtain it you will need to: -Extract silicon from sand -Create a silicon wafer with a special structure -Use radiation to dope the wafer -Build a microchip with the radiated silicon + gold + plastic Other possible uses of this microchip could be: adding the microchip as a requirement for certain automation structures already implemented, such as rover modules, robo-miners, etc. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/127824-silicon-and-computers-automation-idea/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any input or output requires it`s own tile so it`s impossible to cram 8 ports into a 1x1 tile in the current game. But i like the general idea. They could make a 2x4 structure that has 4 input and 4 output ports and can be accessed like the spacefarer module with a lot of space inside but allowing only for automation wires and gates to be placed (and maybe ladders). The foundation is already in place so it shouldn`t be hard to do. I think even modders could make something like that.

Anyway, i had forgotten that ribbons existed, your alternative is better and less far fetched.

I like the building and processing section, I`m dreaming of a chip production chain in the game. Viva viva la Chip-o-lution !

Banastor Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 Now that I think about it, maybe this post should be moved to the DLC subforum. How do I move it or what I have to do to ask for it to be moved?
