JRup Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi! This is a minor post expanding on coping with a minor bug that remains on vanilla. We could also call this "Conveyor bug or how I learned to stop worrying and love double shipping." If thermal exchange of shipped material gives you minor inconveniences (aka clogged rails from partial shipments - sulfur from sourgas boilers, salt from salt water boilers, ice ...) then this might be for you. Spoiler For more insight on the issue: And: The issue of partial shipping amounts was lastly fixed in DLC (per patchnotes), but as we know, it will take a while till the patch trickle down economics gets to vanilla, in the meantime here's a very mechanical approach to a better behaved conveyor system (read: it's not perfect but it's something alright). This build is as barebones as it gets (methinks). Left side represents your material removal as it comes directly from production. Right side is the accumulator/secondary shipping portion of the build. Weight plate is set to 20.1 kg and buffers for 6s. Timer for conveyor loader is set to default but can be adjusted as needed. Conveyor element sensor is left one tile away from the second chute on purpose. This resends the last shipment for recombining and ultimately allows us to avoid the partial shipment issue. A conveyor bridge after the chute helps avoid any funny stuff that happens on load. That's it... no big automation or weird spaghetti. Hope this helps.

Sweepers can move 1t per swing, it's by far the fastest way to move debris horizontally without teleportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And far more power efficient if you combine it with weight plates to turn on/off the sweeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
