A Fully Automated Lootbox Factory 🛄 Fallout 4 No Mods Shop Class

Today's lesson is a follow-up to the previous video on Getting Rich Through Manufacturing. I'll show you how to fully automate the Vault-Tec Lunchbox manufacturing and looting process so it's actually worthwhile. And it can be done completely fairly without any duplication glitches, console commands, or mods. Hope you enjoy!

Skooled Zone is the Bob Ross of gaming. So much positivity and most importantly: no pressure.

[@benjaminschimpf421]

Jan Gambler if u want the Bob Ross of Fallout try a youtuber by the name of Sardeliac. He's absolutely great to watch build. But u could just throw on the headphones and fall asleep if ya wanted to :D i kid u not.

[@jangambler9998]

Haha, that sounds perfect! I need something to keep my mental state in check while blasting everyone in Fallout 4. I really enjoy just listening someone talk about interesting things, even more so if it's about Fallout 4. Thanks, I will definitely check him out!

[@menacer5879]

Benjamen Schimpf He was one of the runners-up in Paul's settlement building contest. He's definitely a great builder, but c'mon homie it's bad form to pimp other channels on someone's video even if it's not your own.

[@DyingCr0w]

The bob ross of showing how tragically bad FO4 building is. Is hacking shit into place fun? Maybe to watch. This is a channel about hack clipping stuff, which is a demonstration of how terrible FO4 building is. Maybe it will help FO5 building be better, in some way? Like betty actually thinking were not stupid and actually making a game with mechanics that were not devised by a 5 year old?

You can make a glass bottom over a hopper and just Workshop-mode the bottom after grenade so everything inside falls right into the hopper with zero hassle on your part.

[@pyrofox733]

That was my thoughts when I saw the lunch boxes getting jammed up

Hey Skooled. Chances of you seeing this is slim but if by SOME random chance you read it know this You’ve helped me with SO many settlements. You’ve also helped me with so many things I thought were so hard that I now see as some of the easiest things. You my friend. Have not only made Fallout 4 interesting but you’ve actually REVIVED it for me. So. Thank you. I love that I’m a sub to you and see myself coming back to watch you in the future. Have a good day to anyone who sees this. Especially Skooled

I like when you have a companion in videos to do random things for you to comment on, it adds flavour to the video and gives you 'someone' to talk to. (One who don't talk would allow you to talk for them/imagine what they're thinking)

[@andrewprete9360]

Nice! had no idea you could do this. My wife and I have just started playing FO4 this year and I have been watching a ton of videos. I did discover the other day that if you put the lunch box's in your character's inventory and take them out one by one. they are closed and and if you whack them they spawn items again. no need to go through this process. This was totally by accident. I decided to build a shelf and display them and accidently shot one in the process and BAM got a fork. I had them in my inventory for a very long time so I have no stats on length of time but essentially same thing this amazing video shows just with much less work.

[@nohandle8008]

[@jediclonemark5860]

Nooice! This is just brilliant Paul! The best looking, and most practical Fallout 4 factory I've ever seen.

[@agoogleuser5830]

You are seriously a genius! I'm new to fallout. I've put about 2 days of gameplay into so far. I truly love seeing your videos. So much inspiration! Again I'm new to this game so I've been trying to figure certain things. I'll learn this stuff eventually. I want to thank you for that awesome map on how to get to diamond city the easiest way. I was blown away I didn't even get spotted at all.

[@agoogleuser5830]

I failed miserably trying to do this. I did get a basic set up and tried it out. I recently realized that I can make tons of caps from the duplicate trick. I still want to make a factory like yours. It sure takes a lot of planning ahead of time. I think I did pretty well with Sanctuary settlement recently with tons of resources. It definitely looks better than before. This is definitely a learning experience and I'll get better each time I play. I wanted to respond to let you know that I'll be watching more of your videos to get some ideas and learn. I truly appreciate your videos that I've seen so far. Oh I just figured out how to use the supply line last night. I was wondering what that meant. Now it's so much better with knowing that. Lol I'm still a newb.

[@youtube_unfamous2434]

I just want to say thank you for making this, you really inspired me and made me understand this DLC more. I created a system almost exactly similar to yours only smaller and instead of just sending the used ones back around I added a trip wire on a half conveyor belt then a split left conveyor belt and a divider. This is so that half the lunchboxes go back around and the other half go into an Explosives machine to create bottle cap mines. It probably isn't the best way to get money but it's nice seeing how nicely built these machines look.

[@sinfulknight9316]

Dont know if anyone or has said this but i personally found that fireworks. Out of a pitching machine with crackle fire works. Opens them quite efficiently and fire works are cheap to make. In comparison to grenades. And if you want to use grenades. Molotovs i have found are the best since litlle splash force doesnt push items off. To make the fire works work you have to put it at a distance so the explosion goes off near the Boxes. And you have to put the pitching Machine on a lower slope. Also interval switch on a 2 second on 10 second off works for me,since mine is a constant supply line unlike the pool up which im thinking about making

[@RedDogForge]

Brother, i stand in awe of your crafty dedication to manufacturing...bethesda should reach out to you as a consultant for fo5

[@erichalvor516]

I've gotten fusion cores a few times from lunch boxes over my years of playthroughs, so I can confirm it does happen, but the odds are astronomically low.

[@TomKayWitkowski]

Hey Skooled, thanks for the idea and general setup! 💙 I've improved it a bit and solved the sliding problem another way. My setup is also not fully automated but it takes less space and has no physics issue. 😊 I've found out that you can attach the concrete walls to the funnel. So I build my one straight up with an elevator. In the tower is a simple roof plate where all lunchboxes get collected and destroyed, after this is pick the roof in edit mode, everything falls and I cancel the change. I also don't use the chest and vacuum, the funnel does the reset for me. I can send you a short video of it. It works pretty nice fits on a 6*4 base.

[@rbtsradio2321]

I am literally almost a year late on this comment, but if you have video remaining of that, or build instructions, I'd love to see and try it out.

[@strafe_2391]

This is super friggin neat! Love the concept of automation in a post-apocalyptic setting. You've yet again amazed me! On a small note the eyebot ED-E's name is pronounced "E-D". As stated by Whitley in lonesome road, on top of Testicles, at the end of the DLC and game if you've encountered them If I remember.

[@SkooledZone]

Thanks! So it's "E-D" huh, as in Edie Brickell?

[@strafe_2391]

Okay two things 1. Holy crap hello howdy what’s up! 2. Yeah, it’s like saying the initials. Like Edie Brickell’s initials would be “E” “D”.

[@plubcenguin1405]

How do you come up with this stuff? Purely amazing, Skooled!

[@HeadDropProductions]

You can craft Bottlecap mines without bottlecaps. Explode them for free bottlecaps. Thanks for blowing my mind!

[@spinafire]

I did a much smaller, manual version with the sorter that involved just manually hitting the lunchboxes with a switchblade. This is a great way to farm baseballs for baseball grenades, and chalk is a very light item to use as ammo in the Junkjet. The plastics can be used with brahmin fertilizer to produce jet, which is yet another way to expand the amount of bottlecaps you can get form this system.

[@rschiffer]

Now that the next gen update includes baseball launcher weapons, there is even more reasons to farm baseballs!

[@1.800zZzZzZz]

Amazing tutorial for Getting Rich AF in Fallout 4

[@madrantbox2071]

Paul, I was messing around with the junk launcher the other day. I can't help wondering if you could somehow utilize it to either shuffle the lunchboxes, bust them open, or both. Just a thought. Love your work.

[@RedDogForge]

Lol, love it, the rube goldberg auto-factory

[@killimajig]

Hey Paul, LOVE your videos! Very original and neat stuff! I play on Survival Mode, so I figured I'd make a sort of manual lunchbox builder/recycler based on your automatic grenade design (I'm practicing my pillar and rug glitching, but nowhere near good enough to build what you did here just yet), so my machine just builds 'em and conveyers them back up and around, and I punch the boxes as they go by and into a sorter, you get the idea. I call it The Punchbox! Now, the Noodle Cups and Baseballs (fer grenades, of course) are an awesome help in Survival, and having enough caps from the other stuff is nice too, but I've run into a small curiousity... Out of thousands of lunchboxes punched, I've not gotten a single Rare item. I get pencils, pens, flatware (plastic and metal), chalk, noodle cups, nuka colas, apples, gum, and gumdrops. But that's IT, not one single robot model or anything like that. Any ideas what's causing that?

[@SkooledZone]

Yeah I didn't even consider how useful this would be in survival mode since I just play on 'Very Hard' but that's awesome. As for unique items, you may have to have a high luck and large sample size. The chance as I pointed out is less than 1% for each of those unique items, so it's going to be rare.

[@nuketownwarrior530]

I like your factory, you ever think about putting walls up to make it look more like a warehouse?

[@copperhamster]

Idea: setup a set of conveyor belts that clip to the edge of the door, so everything is flat. The switch to open the door also turns on the conveyor belts. Also, put a floor 'half a foot' or so underneath the conveyors where the and fire your frag grenade into there (I think it needs to be something with more kick than the energy grenade) so things get blown 'up' instead of as much out and down. Hmm do fireworks explode if they hit something on their way up? With enough wiring and logic I bet you could throw a bunch of grenades into some kind of 'blow it' setup, and setup a cycle where boxes will pile up, the grenades will fire, they'll drop out and sort, then roll back up and wait for bunches to accumulate again to repeat, automatically.

[@nathanscherman9469]

Awesome video!!! Did you know you can take a garden plot and place a powered water pump on it? With the rug glitch and the wifi glitch you can have a hidden water farm at any settlement. Love the channel.

[@NothusDeusVagus]

So much for keeping it simple... B.T.W. Your vids are one of the few reasons why I continue to play Fallout... No pressure😎

[@ozgamergdu]

Hi Paul I tried this out, I think Luck plays a part in the quality of loot you get. The glass walls will snap right onto the hopper(but you'll need to wifi glitch it or the wall won't snap to the side with the connector on it. Instead of the slope & roller door I just put a floor above the hopper, and remove it (without exiting build mode so it snaps right back when you exit) to let the loot fall into the hopper. I tried a few things. As it gives me lots of baseballs I make baseball grenades and put two in the launcher. Throw an armed mine (i use a bottlecap mine but a frag mine does the job too) in on top of the lunch boxes before launching the grenades in there. The grenades will set of the mine and get a lot of them opened. If you use a bottlecap mine, make sure to pick up the caps before trying to remove the floor or it won't let the loot fall through and will be hard to snap back if you exit build mode. I also added a second sorter that takes out the metal spoons, knives & forks - as they are steel and can make more lunchboxes.

[@ozgamergdu]

Update: Due to frame rate issues in the oversized settlement where I built this I decided to rebuild it in a an unused settlement While trying to rebuild it I had trouble getting the glass walls to snap to the hopper like my original build. Then i realized that the walls were not actually snapping to the hopper but rather to a warehouse floor i'd put up to stand on while i was working up there. The floor does snap to the side of the hopper, then the wall will snap to the floor, but inside out. It still works though and you can remove floor after the wall is snapped. You can wifi glitch the hopper right through the walls. Also you can load the mine straight into the grenade launcher with the two grenades. I use 2 grenades as one dosen't always set off the mine. When I learn how to record and upload vids from my ps4 I'll put up a vid to show you.

[@StarlightFromAbyss]

Way to make Lootboxes actually FUN, hah) X)

[@FranksDrumCave]

That's an amazing factory build!

[@KarmaHoax]

Great idea and awesome build! I may have to replicate this one in my world like many others you've built. One small note to mention for collecting the loot a bit easier, Would it be possible to just build a secondary powered door opposite the one used to drop items into the hopper, that way you could build stairs up then open it and basically walk into the area and "push" them into the hopper by walking over them or holding one of them, or better yet a broom, pole stock or the like, to push the into the hopper? Been thinking of a better way to collect them as opposed to using many grenades or shooting them down. Hope you do see this and respond.(Up vote this comment if you guys agree that it would work and he can see it and make a revised video soon!) I'm mostly interested in seeing this work a bit more efficiently. Besides that love the content and keep up the great work. Been watching for a short time but love your stuff buddy!

[@igorzhukov5390]

Well, the first thing I immediately thought of there when seeing how those lunchboxes just refused to abide gravity is this. Why not just use a horizontal floor at the bottom of that silo, build a collector just under it and then when you've blown up the lunchboxes, just enter the workshop mode and remove the bootom floor. Woof, all the loot just falls down into that collector. It's not exactly automated, yes, but it beats having to deal with those stuck lunchboxes. I think this is a reason why he mentioned horizontal power doors in the video.

[@KarmaHoax]

Igor Zhukov Love the idea and hope it gets looked At! It's all about the community and us working together. He needs to see these tips and hope he will respond and do another video.

[@johnny_wrench]

[@vec1954]

You should be hired by EA, they love their lootboxes haha.

[@jakebarlow100]

loved the video man! (and all your others) one thing about this vs water farming is what youre actually doing, personally i think water farmings more of a passive income while you quest and explore, for instance i just set up like 500 water at the castle and every time i came back to empty my inventory after exploring i could quickly sell the water to my vendors for a ton of ammo and 1-2k caps every half hour to an hour of playtime. while i think of this as more of a while you build or flick the game on before you go to sleep/work/ school or whatever type of income, when i get the dlcs i will definetly be doing both. think ill just continue my selling water and every now and whenever im building flick this on, then occassionally maybe just throw enough stuff in for a few hundred lunchboxes and just flick the switch the flick my tv and go to sleep, keep up the good work man!

[@allenkitching6902]

I built a similar system, and added a sorter to take out the steel items (spoons,knives,etc), and sent them to the builder to make more lunch boxes. So the lunchboxes were actually breeding! Ended up with hundreds of them.

[@JasonLucas2023]

Just watching these vids in 2024! Amazing work! Also, you could have probably put a roller in the glass so it would roll down once it opened.

[@camcroney7965]

the great thing about your vids is the ideas it creates. cool idea

[@loraelstad8941]

Hey Paul! I love how industrious this looks, even if it still has some efficiency issues. I mean, if that creeper can get the meat packing plant machines running & try to feed us all ghouls, why can't you build a manufacturing thingamajig for the purpose of growing fecund wealth? :D Repairing and running different types of old world machinery was something I felt was a bit lacking in FO4. They can fix certain things, but not others. If you build something like this in a large settlement, & build it B4 building up other things, you can then spend your time building that place up around the factory as it does its thing. Can't wait to see what else you come up with. I was never much for farming caps while playing, as I accumulated all I needed naturally, but I appreciate the concept & the lessons. Unfortunately, I won't be able to send in a video. I have no camera & my cell stopped working a bit ago (I think I made the report on the 9th of July) & my hubby has yet to mail it in. :( Even when I had it, I could record videos, but never find them again. Not sure what that was about. In a couple of months, hubby will get me a better 1 than that old Samsung. My laptop has been out of commission even longer. In fact, I am using my daughter's desktop after her bedtime to write this comment. :D I try not to usurp it in the daytime, as she's on it a lot during summer vacation. They go back mid August. She has some amateur animation programs on here &, at just close to 9 yrs old, she does really well & her regular artwork has improved a lot. Maybe, in the future, she'll be making the games we are playing. Anyhow, bcuz of my situation, I try to comment when I can, but can't always. Not sure if I told you all that already, but have been trying to let all my subbed channels know I am still there, watching on my YT TV app, even tho it doesn't allow comments or sharing. Well done & keep bringing the knowledge Teach!

[@BradfordGuy]

When you first said "Look what I built!" And I saw that huge contraption, it was a literal LOL! Moment! OMG that is cool! *_Even better...Have multiple presses pumping out lunch boxes at one time and feeding them onto one conveyer._* Possible? If anyone can do it, it would be you, right? I should have watched further as I see you said exactly that. I am leaving this post so everyone knows how impatient I am.

[@jaspirita]

[@mitchelswanson1380]

What if instead of that glass sliding bottom you use a conveyor belt? Build a chute which the lunchboxes fall onto then throw the grenade. After flip a switch and a door placed in the direction that the belt is moving towards and the belt will start moving. Then use the rest of your setup.

[@erniehubbard3195]

I've subscribed because your vids are awesomely informational. I've just begun building at settlements I've started (taking a break from quest lines), and find your tips invaluable. Having said that, I have one small issue, with this vid in particular. When you're recording at night, I am missing a lot of what you're doing because I cannot see well in the dark.

[@agustinguzman6375]

wow! that information: "once [used up lunchboxes] get repaired" when they go thru the conveyors! that's cool...

[@cybergrrl]

This is the part I don't understand, as in why, but anyway great info.

[@montanus777]

i just stumbeled over your channel and might have another suggestion for a no-mod-factory, that i built myself a while ago: a junk-breakdown-factory. since there is no 'scrapper' in the contraptions workshop i thought about a way to break down the tons of junk items i collect in the commonwealth (esp. since i use a console command to increase my carry weigth) without using a mod. the basic idea goes like this: you use a builder to built a quite complex item (like a giddyup buttercup) and lead all junk items, that include gears, screws, springs and steel into this builder. next you lead the buttercups into the next machine that builds something that only needs steel (like steel balls ... or if you want this to combine with your machine here: lunchboxes) to get the gears, screws and springs back. finally you use vacuum hoppers to empty all the unused components (like the screws ...) from the building machines. you can apply this logic to the following productions: 1. everything with steel, springs, gears and/or screws - > buttercup - > steel balls _(your 'raw steel')_ 2. everything with rubber -> rubber balls _(your 'raw rubber')_ 3. a) everything with aluminum and/or plastic* -> toy rockets -> _goto 5_ 3. b) everything with wood and/or plastic* -> bowling pins -> _goto 5_ 4. everything with cloth and/or leather -> teddies -> _goto 5_ 5. everything fiberglass + toy rockets and bowling pins from 3 + teddies from 4 -> jangles -> plastic pumpkins (your 'raw plastic') _*i used a splitter conveyor belt with a sorting arm that switched every few seconds to distribute the plastic items into both chains._ downsides of this factory: a) building an item takes more components, than breaking it down. so, you'll loose an average of one per component in the process (e.g. a pumpkin takes 4 plastic to build, but you only get 3, when you break it). this means this factory is mostly for fun and to gain raw materials if you have tons of items anyway. b) there are items, that cannot be broken down with this method: mainly glas, copper and ceramic stuff. there is just no item that can be made with the builder requiring these components. c) *this is extremely important!* within one power circuit there can only be *one* 'recipie' programmed for the builders in the terminals. this means every builder needs its own generator and its own terminal - it *must not* be connected to the others at all. since the conveyer belts count as power connection the only way to divide e.g. between the buttercup production and the steel ball production is by letting e.g. the buttercups drop into a hopper. this way you make sure there is one circuit before the hopper and one beginning with the hopper. d) due to c) this means the whole factory gets really large. i used the whole boston airport and had to build it 4 storeys high in order to sort all the stuff and then drop them from one step to another (keep in mind: with each hopper the items go down one level). e) some stuff is very likely to jam the conveyor belts (esp. the elevators), so you might want to sort them out of the process as early as possible (e.g. brooms). the buttercups also are quite tricky, because they have to fall over (not stand up), before they go into the steel ball builder.

Nice video, really inspirational. I think I would use a different design to make the process more automated, like maybe have a stationary gun set up to shoot each box individually as they roll down the line.

[@SkooledZone]

I tried that in my test and it missed most of the lunchboxes, only shot about a dozen times, and then I had to keep repairing it using resources. But it was a good idea in theory.

[@SienaaBee]

Great video dude. Your stuff is primo. One thing though I remove the separate large glass silo and simply just a fixed the four walls squarely to the hopper then just built up from there. It eliminates the need for that large door and several other pieces plus it eliminates the boxes that stick to the glass. I even glitched in the pitching machine inside of it. Best of all the lift conveyors fit pretty Square inside of the opening so they can cycle right back into the hopper to be exploded again later. I'm not going to make a video about it but you can if you want 🖖

Super great info brother and I *love* your videos. This is a lot of work though and I've found that just pumping Purified Waters out of the rivers/ocean is plenty profitable.

[@SkooledZone]

Thanks for sharing

[@Deathshrimp84]

Maybe put another hopper under the sloped glass panel and remove the glass panel in workshop mode to have em all falling down so you dont have to pick em all up by hand? :) Or maybe one of those. OR i just came to think of maybe you can pilarglitch in one of those trap floorpieces that shoots itself forward when triggered so it might push the lunchboxes forward abit (cant remember the name of it but its in the trap section)

[@spicydeath82]

i wonder if the lunch boxes you get from nuka world work the same or not. if so it could be interesting to do this with them as i believe they tend to drop nuka world related items.

[@zaggrukk8644]

Once you have NW installed, all lunchboxes start to have a chance to get NW items. Meaning, they all pull from the same pool list of items. Similar to leveled lists and loot chests.

[@topcoppelion6626]

Vault-Tec lunchboxes drop Nuka-World related items like suvioner magnets and Plates

Delayed timer for the pitching machine : Power > Laser trip wire > Interval Switch > Pitching Machine (add a Lightbox connected only to the pitching machine if you want to know when it turns on/off) Go in a terminal: set Interval switch Control (On time for 2 sec/ Off time 10 sec) this will throw out 1 grenade every 12 sec, click the trip wire to reset the system If you want even more delay for AFK auto launcher : Power > Switch On/Off > Interval Switch > Power Counter > Interval Switch > Pitching Machine This will make it shoot 1 grenade every 10 cycles of the power counter so 1 grenade every 2 min. Stacking a bunch of power counter can make it go up to hours (2 counter stacked is 20 min. 3 counter stacked is 3h)

[@keithkeyser9546]

The pitching machines can throw just 1 grenade per switch pull if you add a delay off at 2 seconds to the trigger switch. This allows you to put many grenades in the machine and shoot multiple times without reloading

[@chemhalo]

Holy crap, I LOVE GAMES! This is freaking genius. Was crazy impressed with the first vid & this is somehow beyond that. Just great. Wondering if one of those garage door-like pieces could be glitched to be used as a floor? Then opened into a sorter etc. Or could you glitch something to the outside of an elevator (and through the glass containment) that could then raise/lower?

[@willcreasey8516]

Ahhhh the sweet smell of lootboxes

[@mathgasm8484]

I bought this game years ago but the factory dlc is probably my most played one. I just love making factories.

[@alexanderbell7080]

Great way to make a few caps.

[@jsmith42690]

I know I'm a little late to the party, but you could just use a flat glass roof directly over the hopper. After you blow up the contents inside, just enter build mode and grab the roof, the contents will fall straight down into the hopper, cancel the grab and the roof snaps back into place. Drink your cola and repeat as desired. My factory does what yours does, but it fits inside the footprint of a sanctuary hills house plot.

[@SkooledZone]

Yup, that's one way to do it. But I was trying to automate so you don't have to go into build mode.

[@canyonsea8298]

I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with this build. Maybe comment on improvements or share thoughts and creative inspirations. That is what your zone is about and I absolutely dig it.

[@typezombies3328]

Amazing video you helped me and inspired me so much

[@GreatGamer645]

To improve on the design, you could have walls around around the top of the hopper if possible and use the pulse grenades to push them out

If you put the lunch boxes in a loop convory belt, about 100 or so lunch boxes reset them self so no need to sell them use melee weapons on the lunch box while they are on the loop it's more efficient. Sell most of the food items. Keep noodle cups nuka colas, scrap junk. With selling food item uses the money to buy fertiliser. Use the scrapped plastic and make jet make more money. When you have more than 100 lunch in container the game can't calculate which ones are broken and which ones are new this specially works if you put a number of junction container on the loop.

[@StillNight77]

I love your personality, it makes your videos so much better.

[@SkooledZone]

Really appreciate that. :)

[@strikeranimus2721]

Well that's one way to sterilize your lunchboxes...

You can speed up time with console commands. The video was helpful.

A read a review on the xbox store that lead me here. Pretty sweet!

[@GoofyOldGuyPlays]

Awesome video, again! And I have to agree with the other comments here. YOU are the reason I subbed and contribute on patreon. The subject matter is what made me keep coming back. Your positivity just makes my night. Thank you. Now we gotta figure out how to open those boxes without the sticky bottom!

[@Michael-Madrid]

man this factory would be dangerous for me, seeing as my lunch boxes can spawn nearly anything, LunchBox Surprise is the mod. You can make Ice Cold Drinks with Buddy also :)

[@wrtltable]

Ok, I did this thing. I hooked 3 downhill conveyors together, it just covered the entire lower part of the storage. And just turn on the electricity, the door opens and conveyors carry everything directly into the hopper. I attached roller conveyors to the edges of the hopper and everything falls only into it. But I don’t have any valuable loot in lunchboxes, no quantum cola or models, just an ordinary nuke-cola, spoons, forks and so on. Perhaps because I have repeatedly blown up the same lunch boxes, and not made new ones.

[@hotdognl70]

I have the same results, using both recycled and new lunchboxes. Biggest test was 1500 at once, the only thing that dropped spectaculair was the framerate: About 0.2Fps for several minutes...

[@stavik96]

So basically what you'd want is the conveyor belt that connects 2 belts and then have 5 of those in a row that are all connected to 5 sets of containers of steel and 5 machines to produce lunchboxes, or why stop at 5, you could have 50 machines making lunch boxes at the same time. :D

[@JTy1995]

I make Radstorm shells, but I’d love to see a step by step on how you made this so I can follow it and build this massive machine myself!

[@trentw4647]

Pro Tip: Powered conveyer feeding into a glitched in vacuum hopper= fully automated The belt feeds right into the hopper. box in the powered conveyer with concrete walls 2 levels high Then use your pitching machine to lob your baseball grenades' into the concrete box. This opens all the lunch boxes. The powered conveyer is on a Power counter timer with the pitching machine so every minute or so it will turn on after the grenade and feed all that into the vacuum hopper. Done! no intervention required! That is fully automated vs the system you have. Its a lot cleaner and doesn't require all the conveyer lifts. just one to drop it in your concrete box with the powered lift at the bottom feeding your hopper. The concrete walls are perfect size to box in one powered conveyer. Do three full length delete the one in the middle and add the vacuum hopper. the half walls and full concrete walls seals the conveyer so there is no gap and all your loot stays in the box.

[@trentw4647]

@SkooledZone Took your idea and added to it. Now Fully automated. quick video attached i'm sure you can tinker with it to make it better but just wanted to share as i'm sure the tedious task of getting all those boxes to fall out of the glass is a PITA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3XSqHSoptqCkJo

[@jamesbojko1627]

U should make the glass ramp flat and put normal conveyors to push the loot into the hopper

[@zaggrukk8644]

EDIT: PAUL READ!! Just an idea Paul. You said that the slanted conveyor belts and the rollers wouldn't let you make that setup. What about, instead of having an angled bottom, you used the normal conveyor belts (the flat ones)? Make them three or four wide at the bottom of the glass shaft. "IF" they will let you put walls close enough to the tops of them? OR, with your angled setup, put the saw/auger traps side by side glitched through the bottom of the glass, and have them all turn on at the same time? I was thinking of a way to "push" the lunchboxes, and that's the closest thing I can think of. You would have to glitch them into each other to make a "solid" wall of augers. And to keep the lunchboxes and loot from getting behind the augers, you would just put them so that they start/stop on the outside of the enclosure (that should force anything trapped between the augers and the glass to pass through the augers or the glass?). I think they might be long enough to push them all the way to the door that way! EDIT below I just tried the saw/auger trap method and it does work! If you get everything close enough the saw traps WILL push items into the hopper! And if items get stuck between the augers and the back wall, they will try to stay inside the "container". The saw blades will phase through the items in this case. And on the odd chance that an item gets glitched into the glass, the blades will not push them all of the way through (to the outside). This happened to me and the lunchbox stuck into the glass wall, the blades phased through it and then pushed it back into the glass enclosure on their return trip! The augers seem to have a very reasonable collision to them as well, so you don't even need to glitch them to get them to get them close enough together. Mine were overlapping slightly. And the track is long enough to reach the door at one end and be on the outside of the container at the other end. Very well worth staying up till 3 a.m. to get this to work!

[@DanielPereira-ci6oi]

Pretty awesome work. I was wondering if putting another hoper below the glass, where it glitchs some lunchboxes, would help. Instead of picking up one by one on the floor, and maybe connect it to the second process where they are suppost to be?

[@Eastingnef]

always fascinating to watch you creating man!
