Advanced Logic Blocks - Astro Colony

[Brian Hanson]

"NOT" is being used as a "NOT EQUAL TOO." This is the opposite of "EQUAL TOO" or =. Also for those people out there that are looking for what > mean in the Arithmetic Logic Block its an Arithmetic Shift Operator. How it works is N^+-x where N is the input data and x is the number that has been set next to the number. So an input of 2 Iron into an Arith. set to > 3 will out put a 2. This function is a lot easier to understand if the number is broken down in binary. In binary it shifts the whole binary number how ever many places that has been set. So 00010 (2) into 2 becomes 00100 (4). This took me a bit to understand too hope this helps you and everyone else out there.

Thanks for this it's really helpful + I would like to add something if it matters, it would be much easier and faster if u use a splitters and set the ratios for it for the 6 carbon generators and apply the process in the video on only 1 carbon generator and an inventory box because all other carbon generators will have the exact same amount of carbon inside them and the process above will be do exactly the same process as in the video. hope this is understandable and helpful, thanks

"NOT" is a standard logic block. Any time its argument is "FALSE" then it's output will be "TRUE". Useful to invert signals (zero to one, one to zero). I imagine, if you had a decider which you wanted to turn two things on and one off under a certain condition, the "NOT" would be useful for flipping the bit to the device you want to act opposite of the other two.

[Brian Hanson]

In most cases you'd be right but in this case the "NOT" is being used as "NOT EQUAL TOO" abbreviated as "NOT".

Had the issue that the decider block is not showing "Off" but say no connection. This is because the decider block has a green connector on one of its side facings that your connector cable must link to the inventory sensor block. Good tutorial big thanks.

Extremely helpful!

Cheers for the video, have you considered posting this along with the previous video under the games steam guide section. I am certain others will appreciate the assistance.

[Lord Helbinor]

good idea, they are under the videos section but not in the guides, i shall do that later today.

[MelTuc]

Good tutorial thanks.

[Haz Mat]

Thanks for the video, helps a lot.

[Lord Helbinor]

No problem!

[Dale Carter]

I haven't played with it to know for sure, but NOT should be the opposite of =. The equivalent of != if you do any programming.

[Lord Helbinor]

i suspect you are correct, but i have yet to find a practical use for it in terms of game-play. Tho i guess i could replace '>= 1' with 'NOT 0' and get the same result.

MOAR Please

Moren tips please nice work

[Benny Black]

great video, thx

I'd like to use these Advanced Logistics blocks for My Auto asteroid catchers & only collect water, I'm in dire need of water, but i don't understand how to set 'em up.

[BillH2949]

You don't need the advanced blocks for that. Press 'E' to enter the machine UI and select ice. The catcher will only target asteroids that contain ice. As Lord Helbinor said, you still have to filter the output so only ice is allowed, since asteroids can contain more than one material.

[Lord Helbinor]

i don't think its possible to set your auto catchers to target specific asteroid types, but if you attach one of the gree allow blocks one the belt directly over the output ayou can set it so only ice will be output and all other materials will be kept in the catcher itself.

How do You pick of You won't to turno off por on on the decider?
