Beginning The INDUSTRAL Manufacturing Area ! Planet Crafter Drones And Fish Update [E5]

[@InternetGravedigger]

... anyone else wonder how long it'll take him to remember he should have the ones he reclaimed from the previous farms somewhere in storage? Or how long until he remembers to set those new drills to supply rather than just store?

[@dumbideas3361]

the bee hive Teir 2 will generate bee larva with honey. and drones will move the bee larva. Love these videos.

[@georgigeorgiev9497]

few tips :) 1.use CTRL - u can mass build / rotate / mass select in the drone menu in inventoryes. 2.craft the rods near the miners ...(1 dron moves 1 rod to your base instead of 9 drons move 9 ores and then craft rod) 3.u got a good idea for the autocraft over the water .. but use it for the items that need algie (still cant figure out how algie spawn works ... but in 4x4 area i think 4 algie generators will be ok) 4.use the drones to colect the plancton and the fish directly from the colectors . (they sort them out just fine) :) 5.u will need alot of iridium rods and fertilizer T1( use duble the extractors on iridium and make alot of fertilizer 1 autofarms) :) thats all i can think of for now ... u are doing great job with those videos ! HF :)

[@kaizerLS161]

Number 4 could be a good idea unless the drone interface clearly says that THEY DO NOT MOVE NATURAL RESOURCES And also I would add one more tip... T2 bee hives can generate bee larvas from time to time

[@kennethborg2054]

Btw Z1, if you hold down left ctrl, you can build multiple structures of the same kind, without going in to the crafting menu, every time, very useful if you need to expand foundations and other structures you need to build more than 1 of.

[@neenmach]

Thank you!

[@zingzinger77]

Dude…… best tip ever thanks! Haha

[@dylanwarmington3044]

I read the patch notes that added that feature but I’m pretty sure it didn’t say that you have to hold control, so thank you for this info!

[@kennethborg2054]

@@dylanwarmington3044 Yeah that feature have existed in the game since almost the start, but i still see players doing it the "hard" way😄

[@All4Catastrophe_GameOn]

TY I will use this info myself.

[@nekowknight]

Here are tips for new people also drones are slow when I first set up my automation I needed over 50 drones to barely keep up. 1) drones can sort larva, phytoplankton, and plants, algae, what they can't do is pick it up off the ground, out of the water, or out of a farm so set up storages for them but build auto crafters near those items that way once crafted they can transport them to storage. 2) you can automate common larva it takes t3 mutagen, phytoplankton b, and fertilizer t2 this means you can automate t2 mutagen. 3) don't over complicate your automation put all similar crafting recipes and or similar resources near each other not only does it save space but it allows crafting the higher tier items even easier I show a example of near efficient auto station myself. 4) if you automation is fighting each other to produce it means you don't have enough base resources coming in or you don't have enough drones running around keeping machines fed they work on a proximity the farther away a resource is the less likely they have time to go out and grab it before something closer finishes this means you need more drones. 5) auto crafters do but don't actually have infinite up and down you need to build a certain way to actually achieve that I know I tested it a while back on my own video because and found it only had infinite under certain conditions just like recently I discovered swimming in water can actually make you lose oxygen but when I tested it again I wasn't losing oxygen. 6) build t2 behives they will generate bee larva making progress easier. These are some tips I'll cover more as time goes on

[@soaringscott5635]

Building a single locker for each resource on the ground floor of your base allows you to put all your auto crafters directly above them on the second floor. Yes, some use the same resource but it doesn't matter with drones doing the collection.

[@photoo848]

You should autocraft the rods at the mining sites so your drones ship 1 rod to your base instead of 9 resources. You'll save on trips

[@lainverse]

Or drones. You can always solve issue like this with building 10 times more drones. XD It's funny how he made something simple so much more complicated than it have any right to be. Like building everything above the lake in the first place or spacing everything out to make sure nothing pulls resources off anything else because he absolutely want his storage to take priority. Or that sorting system idea which would be nice at early stages of the game, but there's no drones for it and completely redundant on this stage when you barely have anything to sort since you have machines to get almost everything you need.

[@tonysalerno1555]

Z I have some ""housekeeping" things. 1 make more teleporters. 2 send up the gps T4 rocket, so you can see more map on the map.

[@ameliadriscoll8634]

I like to use the basic storage chests for manufacturing, since they will be automatically filled as autocrafters use their contents they dont need to be huge. Also, dont forget that supply containers can have priority as well.

[@lainverse]

I yet to find any use for supply priority. Could be useful if you have miners for the same resource at two different locations, so you can configure one closer to your base as higher priority in case bots don't do it on their own, but otherwise it doesn't seem very useful.

[@Ghozer]

that bots will move phytoplankton and larve etc from container to container, same as Algae once you have picked it and put in container, they just wont pick larve up from the ground etc.. They will also move vegetables from storage to storage, but not from grower ;) - you can (eventually) make common larve too!

[@ReynoldsThemeparkAdventures]

I can't wait for the big clean up and re design! Can I suggest, getting rid and spreading the trees far out across the map. Even try putting the mushroom trees underground with the other mushrooms. 🤔 So when you build a nice new base it sits in a natural beautiful scape not covered in trees! 🤣

[@michaelbook7033]

I guess you missed the update for it, but there is now a cave where you can mine zeolite. (Located across the lake you live on halfway down the osmium cave that is at the top of the cliff next to the ship.) Also, you should place the water life collectors in various biomes to collect fish eggs other than Provios. Some of which I have been completely unable to mutate no matter how long I tried. You can also recycle spare fish eggs of types you don't want anymore of to mutate them again in order to save on mutagen and fertilizer. And don't underestimate the value of the CTRL key. It has many uses, most of which you have complained about not being able to do at one point or another. (Rotating 90 degrees, building multiple buildings, selecting multiple items for supply/demand, moving all like items between inventories, etc.) I don't know if you can build it yet, but the T2 beehive produces bee larva as well as honey. And make sure you set up all your new miners to supply the stuff.

[@picklerick8760]

Love these videos man, also if you hold Ctrl you can build/craft items continuously instead of opening the menu each time

[@utgatdalokki5571]

Pls use ctrl more If u press Ctrl it allows u to build multiple stuff at a time and rotate it 90 degrees

[@georgigeorgiev9497]

i see some confusion about the drones so i`ll try to explain them :) Drones just move stuff - they can transport TO and FROM all things that have an inventory. they just wont colect stuff that are not in inventory ... like Algie / vegies / larvas ... however u can put an autocrafter near those .... the autocrafter will use those stuff from the ground :)

[@bobblehead3354]

I am sure someone already mentioned this but, for the common larva, once you unlock the ability to make those you can automate the manufacturing of both the common larva and the T2 mutagen. Works great! Plus those common larva are crunchy in cereal! 🙂

[@Detton30]

Automation is just so satisfying :) I just completed my own new base (I built up on the ledge on the waterfall; the water effect clips through the base units, but the view is -amazing-), all of my storage is filtered out like yours, fed by 16+ drones (I lost count), with 4 auto-crafters in the center that can pull from any of them.

[@lainverse]

2:14 I suspect it doesn't sort out larva and plankton because devs didn't expect anyone to make a sorting system in the first place when T3 miners and automation exists. You simply don't need to sort much out at that point. So, there's a good chance that a chest which provides literally everything but a kitchen sink may bug out. Better setup Water Life Collector to provide all 3 types of plankton and 1 type of fish eggs (watch which eggs it collects depending on the lake). At least this setup works just fine for me. Not sure about the larva, though. Usually I just walk around the area where I craft T2 Mutagen and eventually a few are crafted from larva spawning in the area. I rarely care to collect those myself. 2:40 Plants are not possible to automate and most of them are finite too, so you can find only a few in the entire game. I think I've encountered a spot in one of those abandoned underground bases where you can pick up a can of Seed Lirma from a table every time you visit, though. 3:12 Just place an outdoor farm near where you need that Squash and Eggplants instead of harvesting them manually. -_- 4:13 Drones doesn't do _larva_ unless you pick that up and place somewhere youself. And more than half of larva on that list never appear in the wilds either, so you can only craft them manually. Probably the only "larva" you can automate are the bee larva since large bee hives produce both honey and larva. Technically you can use that to deconstruct them into Uncommon Larva, but that's only useful if you lacking Silk Worms. They DO pick up fish eggs and plankton, though, since they only appear in the inventories where you can configure "provide" option instead of spawning in the wilds. 11:53 Mother of... Seriously, why would you setup production of rods there out of all places? You can setup that literally anywhere else. On top of that why would you want to bring resources to them instead of placing crafter next to the miner? In one case you need 9 bots to fly long route to brings 9 items to crafter from a miner and then 1 do a short fly to the base. In second all you need is 1 drone fly directly to crafter standing right next to a miner and bring crafter item to the base. And that's it. And if you pick 3 rods out of your storage 3 bots will fly and bring 3 more. That is instead of 30!!! 3 will bring rods to the base and 27 bring materials for crafting 3 more. That's as inefficient as you can get. Well, you can do much worse with Super Alloy rods, but only if you craft Super Alloy which you have no reason to do when you can mine it. Not that you can't make this work as-is, you'll just need a lot of drones right now instead of much later. 16:58 Not only they can, but they'll work just fine there and will take excess rods off that Iridium rods crafter too. -_- In a more sane layout you may want to produce those right next to Uranium mine while bring Iridium Rods and Super Alloy there. 23:10 Oy, just make a T2 bee hive and make it supply honey AND bee larva. Since it produce that and drones DO move them. Drones can and will move literally anything as long as it's in the inventory. Yes, I'll re-iterate here, plankton too. 27:15 Please tell me you do know you can deconstruct larva into original ingredients? 31:20 BTW, you do realize you need to bring even basic resources to the crafters placed above the water? That is instead of setting that up right next to a bunch of T3 miners on the ground. Who cares that miners are loud when only your bots will ever hear them after you set that up?

[@carlkenner4581]

When you set up one of your T2 ore extractors, you supplied everything except silicon, which you forgot.

[@Thomas-oe4io]

Use Priority 5 to get deliveries from your drones anywhere in the world. Need water or food or building materials? Just set down a chest and request it.

[@Nivaik]

I've get a-c plankton getting sorted from the water collector ok .. so not sure why its not working for you...and I get the fish egg from other remote collectors so i dont have to go pick them up by hand!

[@dragonoidsix]

You can automate the crafting of drones if you set up the entire auto crafting supply chain for them too. I've not yet ran into an upper limit for it, but you can stick a bunch in storage and deploy them en masse to help you ship material around faster.

[@purplespudz4023]

i just started over lol i kind of enjoy the rush to oxygen, etc... they added a lot and all i have to say is wow,

[@blacke4dawn]

Personally I put the autocrafters for the rods together with their respective resource drill. This way only 1 drone will fetch a new rod instead of 9 fetching the base material, and base materials will still have "prio" since the autocrafter needs nine available before making a rod. Only exception is the super alloy rod since it requires aluminium but that is still less drone traffic compared to moving all the base super alloy.

[@urkerab]

Technically you can autocraft super alloy rods in the aluminium biome without needing drones.

[@nitricoxidegod]

On the iron platforms your using to set up your industry the larva spawn, I have 2 lake factories creating every mutagen. You have to put it near the banks of the water since you do need honey for something.

[@Avetho]

While the drones are still slow and few in number they should be dedicated to making more drones, and once you get a biblical swarm of drones then everything else can follow XD

[@TheJerseyNinja]

Should setup the trash things to demand every resource at lowest priority. That way miners and other things won’t get backed up

[@tekriotgaming8886]

my plankton sorting works just fine... not sure what you mean by not sorting. I just set a locker to demand that type of plankton and set the generators to supply all three types and eggs and I deliver the eggs to destroying machine and the ABC plankton to individual lockers.

[@Dublyplayz999]

[@carolinusTG]

If drones can sort larvae, can they collect from farms or something?

[@skyjaq]

Question about priority. If you have say 3 chests for the same item at different priorities and take something out of the highest priority, will the drones move items from lower priority to higher priority?

[@georgigeorgiev9497]

nope... u cant make drons to take and give the same resource to the same inventory .. so if u have it to suply let say iron .. the drones wont bring iron in to it

[@skyjaq]

​@@georgigeorgiev9497 So if you manually take something from the priority 5, the drones will just fill it back up first.

[@ArinJager1]

[@deucedeuce1572]

I've never played the game... but I'd think there was a setting to reduce each storage containers range. I think the rings might be like "levels" and you can turn them down from 3 to 2 or 1 if you choose. If that's not a setting, then it should be (and I would be surprised). Otherwise, what is the point of having rings? If an object has a simple unchangeable range, then why have rings at all?

[@fredrik9615]

When you unlock tier 2 beehive they give you bee larva

[@TK-11538]

Why build storages to supply the auto crafters instead of just setting the demand in the machine itself?

[@bobblehead3354]

I'm late to the conversation as always, and also confused. Not sure what you mean about the plankton and fish eggs not sorting? I have multiple containers for each kind of plankton and fish eggs and tell the drones to put A in one B in another and so on and it works just fine. Same with eggs, so perhaps I am not understanding what your talking about with regard to the sorting issue? Which I admit wouldn't surprise me, my comprehension of life the universe and everything is rather limited on a good day... 🙂

As fun as this is you left the rest of the planet pretty bare so all that stuff crowded in just one spot the planet would look alot better. Also drones dont mess with natural resorces. It cool to base build but you have a whole planet to utilize so you have plenty of room you just like meany other games that give you a whole planet or map you seem to clump it all in one area. Perhaps it time to stop compact builds and go out more just a suggestion of corse. Ya death i expected to happen as you always get so focused on one thing you forget the rest. Love the content tho.

you dontneed to spread everything out i have 23 autocrafters around the edge of 1 large room each making a different thing over water to get alge and with 4 farms outside and lockers tight packed on the roof for all raw and crafted materials takes a little time for all to get filled up from scratch but eventually all teh lockers fill and all the autocrafters to you can jsut go pick up from them or put locjkers where you need supplies to build ie i have a bunch of lockers on a platform at the top of the Rocket launch pad which demand all the matierals to make any rocket . yes you can drone larve from lockers so pick up teh common and dump them for later and eventually from crafters and honey etc high quality food is automated and crates at each location demand it so always 15 foods at any point plus 15 waters . you can also drone empty Incubators and DNA manipulators to storage
