GERMAN ENGINEER explains ONI: ALL AUTOMATION GATES and some SENSORS! Oxygen Not Included Spaced Out

[@birkemann9307]

Just bought ONI and your videos make for a great introduction/tutorial to the game😁

[@BierTier]

That is awesome, I'm happy my content helps you out :)

[@mazfars]

The German Automation Engineering Professor!

[@BierTier]

I actually used to work as an Industrial Automation Engineer for 3 years. So the Gates are very familiar to me ;)

[@mazfars]

@@BierTier that is amazing. You also sound like a professor. BTW I just made my first Escher thanks to you. 👍

[@BierTier]

Awesome, I love to hear that!!

[@ipertatos2263]

Even thought I have very extensive knowledge in logic, it the video is still entertaining

[@BierTier]

The good thing is that the gates work exactly like in real life. The knowledge can be translated 1:1 to the game :)

[@ipertatos2263]

@@BierTier yep, exactly

[@gersakkun]

lmao 'very extensive' not the most humble person amirite?

[@jemsterr]

Looking forward to the episode that shows how to automate the meter valves, including how to send them a pulse to reset and send the exact amount requested.

[@BierTier]

Let's see how that goes :D

[@Octarin]

OMG thank you, this is amazing! I am trying to make a pump start when there is less than four vertical tiles of water in the tank so it doesn't overflow, sadly the liquid sensor can't go higher than 2000 kg ambient pressure, so I'm not sure how to make it, I'll fiddle around with the gates see what happens.

[@Vyrewolf]

My most recent use of memory toggles was automating steam into a sauna. When a meter detects 24kg of steam have passed, it resets a meter waiting to see 25kg of water leaving, since suanas seem ever so slightly water positive. A single line coming in, splits into both the set, and reset of the memory toggle, with the filter before the reset port, essentially turning a solid signal, into a pulse, to reset the next meter to let the correct amount through.

These are great, keep them up!

[@BierTier]

Thank you!

[@DaraelDraconis]

Would have been good to have a brief discussion alongside the OR gate of why you might use it even though there's an implicit OR from putting both automation outputs on the same wire. As you probably know, but for any readers who don't: it's really only worth using an OR when you're driving multiple things off one of your sensors, and you need the sensor's output alone for one _and_ that output ORed with something else for another.

[@ToskaForsite]

Отличный гайд. Спасибо.

[@BierTier]

Thank you, I'm glad it helps :) I hope this makes any sense from google translator, lol: Спасибо, я рад, что это помогает :)

[@kobaianvagabond1344]

I was hoping that you were going to cover the signal selector and distributor. i can't figure them out and I haven't seen anybody use them.

[@BierTier]

I also don't know anyone who uses them, but I will definitely cover them eventually. There is no question! I'm trying to go up in difficulty, I can't start at the most advanced thing first :)

[@kobaianvagabond1344]

@@BierTier Thanks for answering. The logic stuff isn't easy for me so even though I've been playing for a while your descriptions were helpful.

[@burtjackson5261]

Hey Bier I got the rotten luck of 3 co2 vents and one co2 geyser. I thought I could use it for cooling but it just turns to a gas after eruption. Looked all online and no one has a build for the geyser. Is it seriously just dead space or rocket fuel only?

[@BierTier]

Hey Burt, that is some rotten luck indeed. I have not come up with (or seen) any useful builds for CO2 geysers/vents. Maybe to feed slicksters if you heat it up first but that is the extent of it. I personally either wall them in or never activate them if I stumble upon one. They are the most useless geysers/vents in the game unfortunately.

[@burtjackson5261]

@@BierTier it's forcing me to use them too. Because I have no metal volcanos either. Im gonna have to use them for rocket fuel and soda fountain..... Thanks though

[@BierTier]

Well, for that at least it’s easy :)

[@Kwriss]

automation broadcaster/receiver?

[@gersakkun]

Its so weird, I use motion sensors THE MOST.

[@BierTier]

Seriously? What do you use them for? I’m genuinely curious because I barely ever use them :)

[@gersakkun]

@@BierTier I'm a total amateur compared to you, and I just started automation hence why I watched this video, but my first automation was motion sensor for lights, and incubators :)

[@BierTier]

Ah, I see! That’s never an issue, everybody starts somewhere :) I would recommend using cycle timers for the incubators, if they don't have power a rancher will never come by to hug them! Motion sensors for lights are a great idea if you are low on power, but the 5watts usually don't make that big a difference unless you have a LOT of lights :)

Is Real Civil Engineer?

He was a huge inspiration to me to start my channel in the first place :)
