Automate your greenhouse with Sir 5rM8!!!

[@yeahman147]

My issue is the bot just takes the fert from the crop plots and never the vault. Thr crop has fert and seed as input but will never put fert into it just steals it from crop plot

[@jerboajoe8760]

If you have Dino depot mod, you can put a dung beetle in a terminal from the mod along with any Dino (I used phiomias) and the beetle will make fertilizer in the terminal. If you turn the automated withdrawal on he will take the fertilizer out as the beetles make it. 😊

[@majinwar316]

You can do a 10 stack of fertilizer in each plot. Crops that are grown will essentially over slot the crop plot.

[@ArkTradeFederation]

Yes you can but if the bot stays on top of filling them with 5 there is no need to go all the way to 10. Tbh if you want to risk it you could go with 2-3 fertilizer in each plot.

[@Vexxmelo]

Update: you can auto mate a veggie cake factory on the back of an Oasisaur to have infinite irrigation and fertilizer in your crop plots!! My mind is blown 😮 Omg thank you!! I couldn't understand the stack input stuff. With this knowledge couldn't you have it make cook veggi cakes for you? Ive been trying to get that to work but i think the stack input was the issue! I'll have to test later

[@FOGGYlama123]

how'd it go?

[@Vexxmelo]

@FOGGYlama123 it now an exceptional kibble farm and veggie farm. I just add 6 stacks of fiber, sap, and cooked meat once/twice a week and Bot does all the rest. One fridge is about to be full from the cakes being made lol

[@cbnm1996]

​@@Vexxmeloplease make a video tutorial doing that im really dumb with this robot

[@edzblink182]

​@@Vexxmeloyou can get Sir-5rm8 cooking meat for you too. All you gotta do is load raw meat into a vault, he'll take it out of vault, load it into grill, cook it and take it bsck out and put it into the fridge

[@x-unknown6333]

Very Helpful! Thank you

[@ArkTradeFederation]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zaser10]

Keep up the tips bro I've now got a automatic narrcoberry farm

[@swordacademyUK]

great vid

[@MrDormant]

Good video it's my first time trying to find a tutorial turns out I've been doing it right all along but my issue is it keeps taking fertilizer out and killing the crops. Im on official.

[@smarft]

they need to upgrade the AI on the bots tho, they are very inefficient and limited on what they can do (complexity wise)

[@johanbotes6998]

Hi i got a issue where my robot just keep the stuff in him it was working pretty good 3weeks ago but nou nothing

[@edzblink182]

Any idea how sir-5rm8 can feed plots from a cart? I have a cart greenhouse auto filling tek troughs with mejoberries but sir-5rm8 doesnt want to touch them.

[@ArkTradeFederation]

In my testing the cart has been…..problematic

[@edzblink182]

Yeah i understand that. Tried a few different things but he doesnt seem to wana touch the plots on the cart.​@@ArkTradeFederation

[@gritnscrapple]

Great video! Worked perfect on my small plots, but went to medium it filled some to 10 fertilizer. Have you seen it overfill plots?

[@sterlz6565]

You can automate putting berries into a trough as well and then just worry about meat

[@full8497]

Learn how Sir 5rM8 can get stuck on walls and pillars

[@OldSchoo1Gam1ng]

will they pick up pearls from phoenix? I have the veggie farm setup but he constantly runs into the corners and gets stuck on crop plots is there a way to fix this?

[@ArkTradeFederation]

Are they spaced out?

[@OldSchoo1Gam1ng]

@@ArkTradeFederation no should they be every other tile?

[@ArkTradeFederation]

In my testing it helps rather than right next to each other to give it some space to walk in between

[@crazyjoe101]

Will the robot walk through doors , havnt seen a video yet where he opens and closes doors ?

[@ArkTradeFederation]

They do not! Even skins that are auto open skins from the DLCs! So disappointing as I try to continue to master this robot in our giant base. Lol

[@crazyjoe101]

@ArkTradeFederation ahhh no way they gotta fix that so he can move between rooms or buildings

[@ArkTradeFederation]

Agreed. Setting for doors to allow robot to open and close

[@JustJoeKing5]

How would I get him to automatically gather metal and put it in a linked storage box for me? He overencumbers himself and doesn’t put metal or anything in the storage despite putting them in as inputs

[@ArkTradeFederation]

The gathering function in my opinion is still messed up. It encumbers and if a place to drop off isn’t close it just sits there

[@JustJoeKing5]

@@ArkTradeFederation yea mine has just been sitting on a rock for about a day now. He runs super far from the linked storage box to mine a metal node far away

[@ArkTradeFederation]

Ive had some luck putting the storage box outside of the base

[@johnhooper7451]

Thanks so much for your help with this - mine seems to only ever do half my greenhouse - maybe too much is going on for 1 robot... I have also found that even though I deselect berries he still collects them. Once he gets full its game over. I am still trying to understand the stack size thing and as @carmelogonzalez7910 mentioned, making vegie cakes would be amazing. Cheers and keep up the great videos !!!

[@ArkTradeFederation]

I’m dealing with the same! Small base? Works great. Big base? Becoming an issue.

[@TheKorpyc]

I crafted even two robots, but they are too often getting stuck and doing nothing(

[@ArkTradeFederation]

My hope is they improve over time. I’m testing mine on official as well now.

[@sneakyzzkkk2778]

With 1 of the mods im making unlimited bullets with that robot

[@WheresTheFun]

Can it travel through water.... can you assign dinos to protect it

[@ArkTradeFederation]

I’ve seen it go through water. Dinos protect. Haven’t seen that

[@thesavvyninja885]

The problem is how to make the Dino follow the robot. The best thing to do is to put the water dinos on neutral around the area and they should activate if it gets attacked.

[@yeahman147]

So youre telling me i can auto craft med brews and beer?

[@ArkTradeFederation]

you can set up the cooker to make them, but I'm not sure if the robot will put the mats in there yet.

[@LaRvae01y]

My robot doesn’t distribute items to their designated storage boxes, instead it just stands staring at the box. Why is that?

[@ArkTradeFederation]

If you can go out of render and come back it should jump start it

[@scratterz]

Sadly this is not working. He just stands on a point and not doing anything.

[@sneakypooace45]

My survivors just sit around not doing anything, all 12 of them, they wont even distribute resources in shared storage to dedis, i have deposit and withdrawal on verything enabled

[@ArkTradeFederation]

make sure you whistle stop all to see if that helps

[@jerboajoe8760]

Something that I noticed is if you open the inventory of what they should be doing (I had mine running metal from a universal box to the forge, then from the forge to the dedicated storage) they would get back to work. Idk if it will help.

[@jay050584]

If your using a weight reduction mod.. uninstall the weight reduction mod.. atm its an issue with the mate using vanilla resources vs the modified..

[@corneliusoverton2617]

Wow. Doesn't work at all for me. I've never once seen them do anything with fertilizer and I have a very similar setup. I do have some bots, that don't even have vegetables, as their input, collecting vegetables and then doing nothing with them. It would have been an awesome feature and I guess it's working for you, but no matter how many different setups I try (and yes, I'm doing it correctly), they just don't work.

[@ArkTradeFederation]

If the frig has it as an input they are gonna go get it regardless. I agree it needs some tweaking though. It needs to respect its inputs. If you tell it to get something it should get that and that only. Not go rogue.

[@Baka_Oppai]

automated ark mod so much better
