habuky Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Is there a way to create an automated dumping area? With automated dumping area I refer to a place, where certain items will be dumped on the ground without player interaction. Let's say, dupes / conveyors should bring all slime to point XY and drop it on the ground. The only working solution I know are lockers and rotten piles. Once the turn into polluted dirt, they are dumped on the ground. Is there a way to achieve that with any other kind of material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabrute Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 build compactor, build door in way of compactor, hook door to floor button outside of compactor room. As dupe cross button, lock door (with automation) between dupe and compactor. this will make the dupe drop what they are holding, right there. adjust timing with automation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Yes the sweeper will drop any item it's holding if power is interrupted so set up a logic circuit to turn it off every 3 seconds Handy for feeding hatches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
