    One thing I do is use a chain of sweepers and dispensers. First sweeper and dispenser placed so sweeper delivers to a dispenser on the edge of its range that dumps items outside the sweepers range. Next sweeper placed to pick that up and deliver to the next dispenser at the other edge of its range. You can daisy chain this across the map. Generally I then have a sweeper/loader that moves the resulting pile to central storage.
    Can set a dispenser in right place with high priority for dupes to deliver to with rest at priority 1 and sweepers will chain it along.

      @gordonbrown77 4 роки тому +1

      @@Magnet_MD just the sweepers need power, dispensers work fine unpowered. No need to run rails and anything that drops on the floor gets transported to the end dispenser. Still need tou use rails really to move things up the map but nice in areas it's moving along a floor or dropping down.
      Can start with the first one or two and add extra once those finish sweeping if powers a problem. Can use a bit if you have them all continuously active while it does the initial sweep.

    Regarding the feeder problem: I have 1-2 storage boxes in the same room with priority 5, and the feeder is set to 6. That means that (i) the sweeper replenishes the feeder and keeps it full, and (ii) dupes do get the task to replenish storage, but not at a high priority and can do it in their own time.

    about the ranch feeders, can you measure how much a critter eats and set the feeder to store the amount of 1 feeing which will always be refilled by the auto-sweeper? So if a critter eats 200 grams, set it to store 200 grams max and that way it will always be full with 1 dose, and your dupes won't have to do anything.

    Another thing I had fun trying to do, for quickly opening an area, a few robo-miners and then auto sweepers with storage bins at a raising priority up to the one next to a conveyor loader. I am not entirely sure I actually saved "time" but it was fun to do. I guess I saved a bit of tidying up errands, spending a bit of construction (and deconstruction at the end). I may try again at the next opportunity...

    • @Magnet_MD

    On moving lots of debris back: you can build auto sweepers and automatic dispensers in a line, so that the one edge of the auto sweeper's range touches the back of a dispenser, while the other edge of the sweeper's range touches the output tile of another automatic dispenser.
    It's much faster than rails, and also grabs any debris that is on the 'line' of sweepers, rather than from a single point.
    I sometimes do it to consolidate regolith from the top of the map; even in vacuum, making the sweepers out of steel will clear out a huge amount of it before they overheat.

    I typically have kept a storage bin with sedimentary rock near a critter feeder, so that the sweeper there to pick up eggs and such automatically load the feeders from the storage, since leaving a pile of stuff on the ground gets you a decor penalty

    • @Magnet_MD
      @Magnet_MD  2 місяці тому

      The decor penalty isn't a big deal though, and the critter feeder will generate quite a bit of extra errands for your duplicants every time a critter eats a little bit out of it.

  • @Foloex
    @Foloex 2 роки тому

    About the critter feeder (around 39:50): couldn't you put them behind a wall with only a single space for the hatchs to reach it ? This way the dupes wouldn't be bothered by the task of filling it whenever an hatch would eat a little amont from it. I haven't tested this idea yet as I haven't played with conveyors yet.

  • @frabac72
    @frabac72 3 роки тому +2

    For the sedimentary rock, what about a room with a smart container that opens the door only when it's below a certain amount? That way no sweeping involved
    Never tried, just thought about it while watching this marvellous video.

    • @Magnet_MD
      @Magnet_MD  3 роки тому +1

      The only trouble I see is that you would still need access to the room to groom the critters, and I don't think critters can eat stuff inside anything other than a critter feeder.
      There are definitely some other ideas I've been messing around with though, like setting a whole bunch of storage bins to request it all at once, then spending like a cycle or so having duplicants fill it up, and then emptying the storage bins and letting the food sit on the ground. It's primitive, but it saves a lot of travel time.

    • @frabac72
      @frabac72 3 роки тому +1

      @@Magnet_MD actually I was thinking the smart container could be in a separate room, a closet if you want. Automation takes the rock from there to a receptacle next to the critter feeder. The "arm" (auto sweeper) fills the feeder from the receptacle. So all duplicants would have to do about the rock is taking it to the smart container in the closet, when the container opens the closet door

      @@Magnet_MD I tried the "critter food closet" thing and it... does not work. The smart storage bin does not have high-low (like the smart battery, for instance) but it gets green only when (and while) it is full, thus defeating the purpose. I tried with a pressure plate tile but that does not count for buildings.
      The best I could come up with is a buffer so that after the bin is full (and the doors are locked) they stay locked for the duration of the buffer. A bit of a bummer, though, because the max is 200s. Better than going each time to each different critter feeder but not as beautiful as I hoped for.

    I find that ONI has some gimmick items that are sort of there for fun or just because factor.
    The sweepy being one of them.
    I have used them before where I had an area that was full of gas my dupes couldn't breathe and I didn't have the suits yet but it was an area I was going to expand into with new dupe living quarters. So I build some sweepys just to clear it all out slowly with a shipping system bringing it to the main part of my base.
    I didn't really have time to set up any sort of complicated rail system so I just set it up and left it alone to focus on the issues in my main base. By the time I came to expand there properly, it was all cleaned out. Left a lot less for my dupes to clean up later that would affect morale negatively for being untidy.
    They're okay for areas your dupes cant really spend long amounts of time in, but it doesn't take long for them to become redundant.

    You need a person who tends the hatches, who does not have sweeping tasks and supply tasks, or the task for that dupe is low. So he does not try to fill the feeder until he has nothing to do. Also, set the room so no-one but him can enter. A dupe will not see it as a task that is available. For dropping items, you can offset the hall into steps, for the ladder. No need to pick up stuff dropped if they are sliding down, they are going that way. The tube doesn't allow carrying items. So in four sections, ladder alternates from the left of the pipe and rail, then to the right side. They will only have to slide down 1/4 of the way and pick up the item that fell on the floor there.

    it's a bit cost efficieny, as it only needs so 100 refined metal not like 200 + 100 for auto sweeper and that collecting box, power well not sure, I think you only need power, if sweepy needs to charge and so, so no really lose, as long as sweepy isn't charging and it helps by large areas to get the thing on one point

  • @RothAnim

    So far, I have found only a handful of useful cases for Sweepy:
    -Fitting in a 1-tile-high gap
    -Clearing long rooms of occasional small debris
    -mopping areas prone to accidental or regular flooding.
    Even then, the limitations are harsh. I tried using it to sweep the 1-tile gap between the mesh tiles and insulation beneath my power generators, but the polluted water so overwhelmed it that it never got around to clearing out the solid debris. Unless you specifically want bottled liquids, pumps are just better value.
    Aside from mopping patrol of areas (say, under a melting ice biome), best case scenario is in weirdly long hallways for farms and stables: like a 3x32 shinebug stable/decor hallway.

    These set up looks so neat watching them all come to life, but all I can hear in the back of my mind is where is all the resources coming from to build all of this!! One thing that I struggle with as far as watching guides for automation is that they're hardly done in actual playthroughs and it feels a bit more overwhelming when I actually try setting them up on my own with the resources I have. I've noticed from watching most of the walkthrough series that I do my runs completely different than yours. I want to try doing a run in a similar manner as you do to experience the difference. I've never made it to the top of the map because once I get to where the big gun machines / natural resources for power hump I get overwhelmed and start over. Sorry for the novel. I would be interested in watching a guide on animals if you end up making one. I've only ever tried doing hatches, drecos, and pokeshells, but I don't think they were done correctly.

    The point of Sweepy is that he is cute, has enormous reach, and is a passive sweeper. If you have a flat area that regularly has material on the ground and aren't in a hurry to have it picked up, Sweepy is good for that. Similarly, you would use an auto-miner to deal with areas that regularly have blocks that need to be mined, such as a Shove Vole ranch or to deal with meteors - although now with Spaced Out, I'm not sure if meteors will still be a thing or what they're going to do with them now

    The sweepy dock is pretty niche. I use it to mop up water from the surfing recreation thing.
    Other than that I can't think of anything to use it for.....

    38:09 You've said that you usually want to put Critter Feeder on High Priority. But why? Is there a reason? Wouldn't Auto-Sweeper load it regardless? I mean, AS stays in one place, so it has nothing better to do. Put your Critter Feeder on Low Priority (1-4) and forget about the problem.

    I have a question about your storage at the beginning of this video. I have noticed others use the rows of storage also. I am wondering why you don't just use an Automatic Dispenser that drops everything in one spot? A lot less building and you don't have to worry about the storages getting full.

    Did you consider installing mods? There's one called "Conveyor Rail Filter". It looks a bit lousy: model of the rail bridge is used and there is a small animation glitch, but it does the job perfectly. It can significantly reduce the size of the whole system.

      Oh, wait a second. I just found out there is an official Solid Filter from "Banhi's Automation Innovation Pack". But it costs a lot of research points and likely to be obtained in the late-game.

    • @beekey9501
      @beekey9501 8 місяців тому

      That was too hasty of me: official filter works jist the same as Conveyor Shutoff with an Element Sensor - only one element may be chosen. It's only advantage^ it's much cheaper and doesn't require refined metals.

    I'm surprised from you flashes of your bases you don't use bottomless storage. You can have 5 million storage bins. Or 1 tile storing everything or for that matter 1 tile for each thing you want stored instead of like I said 5 million bins taking up sometimes 1/2 map:)

    • @Magnet_MD
      @Magnet_MD  4 роки тому

      For sure, and you can do it with liquids and gasses too, I just don't bother with those two partly cause it just feels like cheating, hahaha.
      As for solid storage, I only will do things like that for one of a few reasons. The first is cleaning up the map to help with the game's performance. In that case you would want to put things in separate bins (preferably one type of thing per bin) to minimize as much heat transfer between objects as possible. If they were all swept to the same location, then you get X number of things all exchanging their heat at the same time. It helps but storing it separately is more efficient if that's your goal.
      The only other major reason I'll move debris is if I want to introduce it to my shipping network and ship it to places that it can be used. This is actually more rare since renewable versions of pretty much any resources comes pretty quickly if you're staying on top of your tech and expanding quickly enough. In those cases, there will eventually be a central pile where all of the useless junk gets dumped, and it only consumes one space.

    The loaders take 120 w just like the filters. doesn’t the added need for a sweeper defeat the whole point of wanting to save energy if it ends up using 120w more than just using filters in the first place.
    Sweepys have the benefit over sweepers that they can cover more ground. Sure they don’t pick up items as fast, but if you are only using it to pick up items from a very large farm, why would you spend the energy and resources on a dozen sweepers when you can have one sweepy and one sweeper to cover the whole thing.

    As a heads up for sand box testing i recomend three mods "instant sandbox", "force eruptions" and either "better sandbox tools" or "advanced sandbox tools" i cant remember which it is and i cant bebothered opening oni to find out
    Note:
    in the advanced sandbox tools mod DO NOT spawn furniture that doesn't normally exist in game it will crash your game and opening it will take a long time and then it will crash ad you will have to delet that same in the acctual game files or just never open it again

    This is nice, but you can just get the mod that makes a multi-choice filter for a more reasonable power cost. And usually, if I am that worried about wasting power, I am more worried about wasting the metals. 120w is not worth that much metal. And of course, if I am not worried about the metal usage, then I am usually not concerned with the power usage.
    Also, if you want the conveyor/pipe/vent to distribute evenly, you have to create a "tree" but even then you can only go so far with that system and it takes up a lot of room. You could probably setup an automation to count items and open switches as needed.

    • @Magnet_MD
      @Magnet_MD  4 роки тому

      Yeah, I usually don't recommend mods because theoretically the support for them can be cut off at any time. I'm usually going to make tutorials about the base game with no mods cause that's what everyone starts with.

  • @Sq7Arno

    Not sure why you struggle so much. An auto sweeper will load stuff from any storage to any storage right next to it as long as the priority of the destination is higher (which can be a loader). No manual emptying needed.
    You can use a loader set to manual use as the storage to receive stuff from dupes instead of bins.
    Even better. I you can put a sort of Macgyvered "shipping sensor" a bit down the line in a location dupes do not have access to with a receptacle, smart storage, a loader left on auto, and another auto sweeper. Then add a NOT gate on the smart storage output, and run the automation line down to the manual loader. It will basically disable delivery to the manual loader while the smart storage is full. Only when the smart storage has space will the manual loader become enabled. Which implies that the manual loader itself and everything up to and including the receptacle will most likely be empty at that point. So dupes will not carry grams of material to it, but instead carry full loads.
    It would sort of fake the lower/upper range luxury we have on things like smart batteries.
