Automation is a game mechanic that enables players to automate parts of their bases to run without needing to interact with control panels, move resources, or turn power on or off. It could help with automating the production of any resource, item, or machine. A good automated factory to make is a Hydrazine factory or a Nanocarbon Alloy factory.
Automation Items [ ]
Automation uses a few items to help the player automate their modules and resource moving.
Auto Arm [ ]
- The
Auto Arm is a Tier 2 item that allows the player to move Tier 1 items to and from storages and modules and can also place items into the player's Backpack. It can be used for pulling items from Rovers to fill up dedicated storage areas of a player's base or moving items onto platforms to be used by connected Printers.
[ ]
- The
Auto Extractor can be used to give players a greater amount of resources from a single deposit. It gives up to 15 times the number of resources that the Terrain Tool would produce from the same deposit, but at a much slower speed.
Rails [ ]
Rail Posts/Tall Rail Posts, Rail Cars/Rail Engines and Rail Stations can send and receive signals, and Rail Junctions can only receive them.
- The Posts send a signal out when the first car in a train passes it, and upon receiving a signal, it will call the nearest car to it.
- Signals sent to Rail Cars and Rail Engines will toggle between it stopping and starting.
- The Rail Station also sends out a signal when the first car of the train arrives into the station on either side. Signals sent into the signal inputs will stop a car on its way, and conversely, a signal applied to anywhere else on the rail station will call the nearest car to the station.
- Inputs sent into a Rail Junction will change its connecting sides, depending on if it's sent into one of three input slots or just send somewhere onto the object.
Resource Canisters [ ]
While not directly tied to Automation, Medium and Large Resource Canisters can be very useful when paired with the Auto Extractor, allowing players to leave the extractor running for a long time and coming back to a full canister.
Repeaters [ ]
Sensors [ ]
Storage, Battery and Power Sensors [ ]
Sensors allow players to have more control over when items and modules will run or activate. Sensors send signals to connected items when certain states are met.
Motion Sensors [ ]
Switches [ ]
- The
Power Switch is used to toggle the flow of power through a one-way cable, this can be useful if players wish to control which parts of their base receive power.
Storages [ ]
- The
Large Active Storage is a convertible storage unit with slots that can be activated via repeaters! Use this for your lightboard setups or anything else you can think up!
Tips [ ]
- An easy way to begin with Automation is to just use the Button Repeater connected to any module to toggle them on or off, with even more control if connected to more than one module. Using the button allows players to activate an array of printers or Research Chambers, for example.
- Guide:Nanocarbon Alloy Automation illustrates how players could utilize Auto Arms to automate the crafting of
Nanocarbon Alloy. - Another easy way to automate is to start off by using Auto Arms to move items around, then move on to Storage Sensors once you get the hang of Auto Arms.
- Power Switches can be toggled with a Repeater's or Sensor's target pin.
