SamLogan Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Hello, Here's another solar panel setup that I've created. Here's what it does : - Open / close the bunker door according to the meteor rain status. - Open / close the door under the space scanner when there's regolith and/or hot materials. - Auto dig the regolith montain above the solar panel that are protect by windows tiles. No heat transfer from the regolith. Here's an example in operation (I use an atmo sensor to simulate the coming of the meteor rain, it not necessary in the final setup) : Automation : From top to bottom : Filter Gate 1 : set to 50 secondes -> close the door under the space scanner after the regolith has droped. Filter Gate 2 : set to 35 secondes -> open the door under the space scanner to let the regolith drop. Buffer 1 : set to 20 secondes -> time for open/close the doors that auto-dig the regolith. Filter Gate 3 : set to 5 secondes -> time before the auto-dig sequence begin. Filter Gate 4 : set to 5 secondes -> time that the doors stay closed. Buffer Gate 5 : set to 5 secondes -> time that the doors stay open. The last Not Gate let the doors open at the end of the sequence. Enjoy !

Argelle Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Quote Auto dig the regolith montain above the solar panel After opening the bunker doors, the destruction by doors is automatic, regolith or not, isn't it? At first I thought you got a way to detect solids or layed pressure plates Nice set up @SamLogan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the plate don't let the light pass. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean no heat transfer between the regolith and the solar panel. The doors can support this temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzionut Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Very nice setup. I will use it combined whit the arm sweeper to evacuate the regolith and cool it for filtering purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranoze Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Nice design, solve half of the regolith problem, block will be destroyed but materialized regolith will still remain. But in rapid meteor session(small short meteor rain continuesly will hurt this alot since for this to open it requires too much time). And before your solar pannel even has a chance to gather any power, door closed. That mean this will produce less power, and even negative power because of power cost for bunker doors. Shinebug solar cost less cpu and has 100% up time compare to this, require no dups. What important in a power plant is how much power it can produce, not something cost half of your cpu and produce less power than a natural gas generator.

Smithe37 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I had an idea for improvement. With the auto digger to prevent it digging in the case of the blast doors not being fully opened yet due to low power. You could add a smart battery with a big power draw (say, a pump loop) and a single solar panel.That way until the battery was charged by the blast doors opening, the auto digger wouldn't start. Add it in with an and loop somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzionut Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I want to use this design whit arm sweepers to move the regolith under the solar panels and melt it whit something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djoums Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Bugs can easily get you 720W of continuous power by placing a lure and a feeder between 2 solar panels. However you can only get their number high enough by using a glitch that will probably be fixed at some point (separate areas with liquid locks to make the bugs think they have access to a much bigger room than they should).

tzionut Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Quote separate areas with liquid locks to make the bugs think they have access to a much bigger room than they should This is not correct. If you leave an open space the shine bugs can leave when they want but the lure keep them tight near the solar panels. You don't need to use the bug whit the water lock. Is sufficient to leave an open space for one duplicant to enter the room. The same principle applies also to all the critters. I can sow you some examples when i'm home.

Djoums Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Yes I know that, and I don't mean a lock is needed right next to them. Just somewhere to separate aeras, unless you make the whole map a single huge area (you can, but probably not a good idea). I'm hoping Klei will fix that kind of glitch by taking the local critter density into account (200 bugs in ~20 tiles), not simply the whole area size.

Under you have drekos, my design to storage more that 20 pcs, shyne bugs, and hatch . All are wild, all can be tamed, and all are in open spaces.

With quite a lot of cooling, if it has to cool 300 degrees regolith and iron. I see how that could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
