SchlauFuchs Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hi, I tried to automate my gantries with the signal from the rocket platform, but they all get destroyed. How do I properly set this up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve8 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Gantries take 1-2 seconds to retract. So you need to delay the launch while that happens In Spaced Out you don't really need gantries though. Just ladders will do. Not sure what Klei intends for that in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degr Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I found jet suits ultimate solution for space biome. No need gantries, no need rocket shaft from bunker doors, no need anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchlauFuchs Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 The ladders are not as useful anymore as soon as you use a large petropeum engine. Dupes cannot access modules properly to place oxidizer and such Can I get more details on the rocket platform automation ports and how to use them?

I think there is a bug currently that destroys a gantry even if it is retracted and far away from the rocket/rocket platform when the rocket returns. I'm not sure if automation could solve that...

Steve8 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 In the base game you just put a filter gate between the two rocket ports to delay the launch and give the gantry time to retract. And I think a buffer + NOT between the checklist signal and the gantry so that it doesn't extend already during the rocket launch. I just tried to recreate this in sandbox with a sugar rocket, but kind of failed. The rocket exhaust is hot enough to melt even thermium wires when they touch the platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve8 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Right. Shows how long it's been since I messed around with that Somehow the whole automation part doesn't seem to fully though out in the DLC. For example the platform puts out a green signal even when you haven't set a launch destination yet. So as far as I can tell there is no way to distinguish a rocket that's just sitting on the pad from one that you really intend to launch. In the first case you usually want to extend the gantry to let the crew out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
