Some tips: Buy wagons! You can hitch unlimited of them to your truck (though for FPS I don't recommend too many at a time). Each wagon can hold unlimited of 1 large item or up to 4 types of small items (unlimited of each). Wagons can also be brought into stores so you can just spam-click items into it. You can also wheel the wagon to the buy area to buy the stuff,then hitch it to your truck. Meaning instead of carrying each item 4 times, you only do it once. FInally, at your base, you now have 30 wagons organized with each item inside, basically this game's version of an inventory system. From here, it's INCREDIBLY easy to build whatever you want

[@jayzgaming1442]

you can hitch them when?

[@Sniping_Life]

@@jayzgaming1442just drop the front of the wagon into the back of the truck

[@dragonslayer5j883]

So I think you mean land train

[@hippiedude2232]

For those with mods there's a storage bin that can hold infinite of anything. For those who play without mods pretty sure the wagon can hold a lot more than 4 item types at once... The only problem I've found is that every now and then items will try to roll out of the cart, but you can hold the e key and rotate things around so the game rolls the item into the side of the cart and that should keep them inside the cart.

[@harrisonthompson5164]

love it. fantastic information and great detail

[@Jergis]

Small tip: It would be more efficient, to leave this setup as it is & just add the next one on the lower floor. You can direct outputs from both setups to one sorting system with cauldrons and make it easier to collect, and easier to look at :D. And if you really have some time to JUST play (grind your as* off), you can instead of putting the cauldrons at the end of the sorting system on the lower level, put them at the top of the mining area and direct the ore on conveyers to the top as well. You wouldn't have to go down all the time, only when upgrading or remodeling (if needed).

[@Snoosha]

_tip_ and _efficient_ ?

[@gryphonsoldier4185]

He could even use his ice elevator and just seperate the ice upstairs!

[@sarlon51]

I actually came here to say exactilly this. It would be far more efficient having the main sorting system at the top and just have the mining machines on the lower levels. Much less to disassemble that way every time he go one level lower.

[@tarrantwolf]

​@@gryphonsoldier4185I'd you build a pile of snow on the surface it only puts out ice so you can just put 1 or 2 drills up top to make water and not worry about seperating ice out.

at 20:02 you can see 2 gems in the corestone smelter

[@MichaelMoore99]

Yes, people vote this up so RCE gets his magnet stick out and pulls them out.

[@Tom89194]

You can kind of automate the filling of the repairer, put the reader on the top and the repairer on the side. Then you set up a small conveyor loop under the repairer. Throw your wrench bags on the conveyor and when they touch a repairer with room for a wrench it refills it. You just throw a bunch of repair bags on the conveyor loop and forget about the repair system as long as there are bags on the conveyor.

[@TVT.v1entetain]

Good advice, Matt needs to see this

[@steeljawX]

Would a spanner flinger fill another spanner flinger? I need to try this in my experimental creative world, but I'm wondering if you can refill spanner flingers with another one, couldn't you set up the same system on the actually repairing spanner flinger but with a content reader reading the one before and keep looping that until there's like 6 flingers lined up to keep you going for a while? Also I'll say this right out, not that the dev Max will ever see this, I miss the old days when you could forge your own spanners and spanner bags.

[@Tom89194]

@@steeljawX You don't need that, each spanner flinger will only hold 4 bags worth of wrenches(20) and you can easily put dozens of spanner bags on a conveyor loop and as long as the bags touch the flinger it will stay full until the bags are all emptied out. Also, if the bags are running on a conveyor loop under ALL of your flingers they can all stay topped up from the same supply of bags.

[@aachucko]

Hydroneer!!!!! My favorite game series on RCEs channel!

[@OG_Casual_Tryhard]

You can use the magnet on a stick with a bucket for easy clean up. The magnet doesn't effect things in a bucket or on a conveyor. So magnet everything into a single bucket and dump it all on the conveyor belt before your sorting machine, jobs a goodin.

[@hathorthecow7146]

Magnet on a stick absolutely does affect things on conveyor belts. RIP my sorting system every time I try to clean up my gems.

[@MichaelMoore99]

He can get those gems out of the corestone!

[@steeljawX]

Magnets will pull anything that is not in a bucket, pan, basket, safe, plinth, or vehicle and is not already smelted. Meaning anything on a table, on the ground, on an anvil, on a conveyor, on a pallet, or really anything I didn't list in the first list is fair game to the magnet. The only way this has ever gotten confused is by assumptions from those who stopped playing way back from an old build in early access. That's all I'm saying on that though. Magnets absolutely effect things on a conveyor belt which is why the logic magnet is usually used as a hard "brake" in resource flow in the cases of auto smelting and stuff. Cutting the conveyor line has a small delay long enough for resources to keep flowing onto the open logic smelter, dumping them all over the ground.

[@hippiedude2232]

Lil tip carry two buckets in your truck. Fill one with fuel, and keep the other empty. When you go to refuel drop the empty bucket in the fuel slot then dump the full bucket in over the empty. The fuel level in the truck will rise, and your empty bucket will also be filled. Switch buckets and repeat until at full fuel. Edit: just be sure to put both buckets back in the trunk when you're done. The truck wont move if a bucket is left in the fuel slot.

[@matthewtalbot-paine7977]

The pan can store infinite resources so if you need to move lets say a bunch of uncut gems, get your pan, bring it near the gems and then magnet all the gems into the pan. You might need to pulse the magnet to jiggle the gems in a big to start with but it is quicker especially if you have to take the items more than a few blocks. I used this method on old hydroneer when I bought a new plot and couldn't be bothered to drag over all the conveyors and so I just took a pan full of resources over to my old claim and dumped them on the conveyor. Only think is the game won't be happy for a while when you tip it out because there's suddenly like 10,000 objects it has to manage.

[@RottenFilmProduction]

Forge marks are have a fixed bonus value that doesnn't change, once thawed. So you can accurately save a reload if you use one thats a dud, then use another to see what properties it has.

[@GuardianHalberd]

there is a simpler way to control all the system: 1. buy a valve with a logic entry, put on the first straight pipe after the intake; 2. put one filter each on the next five straight pipes after the logic valve; 3. buy 5 logic Ts of A equals B, 5 readers, 5 hurlers; 4. buy a logic lever; 5. set the readers pointing to the pipe, the hurlers pointing to the filters; 6. link each reader with a logic T A=B, then link the hurlers on the output (not the A or B ports). 7. link all the other inputs of the logic Ts together (if, for example, your readers are all B ports, link all the As together). Also link the logic valve with these cables; 8. Link the logic lever alongside all the Ts and the logic valve. This way, when you pull the lever down, it will open the logic valve, allowing the lava to pass, and at the same time it'll output 1, which serves as the logic T comparison. They will hurl a spanner every time the filters reach 1 durability, and as they all operate independently you won't waste spanners on any of the filters. When you pull the lever up, it'll turn down the entire system, and won't affect the spanners (one side is inputting 0, no filters will reach that.

Do a flip with the logic repair setup. Put the spanner hurler where the durability reader is, and vice versa. Wire it in reverse. And put the filters back on the side of the pipe where the hurlers would point to. That way you can directly drop spanners in easily as opposed to having to hold E and force them into the hurlers.

[@EZskrew]

I know Matt doesn’t enjoy this game as much as other factory/mining games, but it’s been really enjoyable watching him learn more about the game and slowly enjoy it more and more.

[@samhowells5798]

[@brendotheoffendo]

1:50 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@markatashy1900]

Quick tip: You are wasting spanners as your setup makes it so that every time it takes damage it gets repaired. You want to put the reader into an A == B with A or B being the reader and the other being a Logic Keypad set at 0. This makes it so that when the durability reads 0 it sends a signal to the Spanner Hurling Unit repairing the filter.

[@Skittlz444]

Haven't played in a bit, but you can direct all the gems into one compressor without sorting and it'll compress them correctly into one large gem of each which you can pickup. Need a logic repeater to trigger it though. They might've changed that but I don't think so

[@hrv3]

Quick question for you, what if you set up multiple intakes, each with filters, that then combine with t-joints to meet up to provide the intake, that way if one breaks the others will still feed the pipe? love the content. thanks for the entertainment

[@pyromaniacal13]

I went much more complicated with my repair setup. I use a compare T to compare the read signal to a keypad set to 5. Once the filter gets to 5 durability, the Compare T sends the 1 signal to the flinger. It looks great in the pump room I built!

[@Skittlz444]

Feel like over time that'd just waste spanners for not much gain. They trigger so fast that the system barely stops

[@MarkVanReeth]

Only the drills should be at the bottom, everything else can be on the surface. Just bring the ice / frostrock up, then sort it, melt/harvest it, sort and process it. Means you'll only need to move the drills if you go deeper, and your output will be easy to collect at the top. And you need less space in your cave.

[@LastKnight0727]

Oh yeah, Matt, if the trucks have a hidden speed boost. Just hold W+Space for a few seconds and it will automatically go super fast.

[@reddart179]

If you swap the durability detector with the spanner flinger and move the filter setup to a point where you can place conveyer belts under the flinger, you can just set up a circle of conveyer belts add bags of spanners onto them to auto refill the flingers.

[@Skittlz444]

Hmm, but does that consume a whole bag of 5 to refil the space of 1? Haven't played in a while but I have a feeling it used to use a whole bag no matter how many they're refilling

[@Sphendrana]

Filter Repair % Checker Tip: if you use a logic number pad you can tell the spanner thrower how low the durability should be to use one since they repair 100%. This way you can tell them to only repair when the first and second filters get to 10%. This will ensure you don't waste them repairing one at 99/100, but also keeps things running without it waiting to repair when it's at 0% causing a hiccup which may mess with the physics and break something like a potato in your massive redstone shopping machine 💀😂

[@avalonvt]

I actually set up a logic automatic repairing system in mine the other day. I'm only at 13:22 so if he solves this I haven't seen it yet. The best way I've found to do it is to have the spanner flinger on the side with the filter and the durability reader on the side. But I remember playing right after the 1.0 release the durability readers maybe had some kind of bug, but it was awful to get them working on filters. I had a system where I had the logic displays on every one of them and occasionally they would just read 0 and since I use a logic repeater and the equal to merger it would fail to repair until you took the durability reader off and put it back. So for most of my time playing base game I didn't use logic except to repair my drills. But how are you getting corestone from a tier 1 drill? I can't seem to get them to produce any at all.

[@Shatterverse]

My computer is broken so I haven't been able to get or play the new expansion, but if they've updated it there is a semi-official mod that is a table that lets you make precise weight bars so that you're not wasting anything or dragging stuff around. It is SO convenient. I hope it's been updated.

You actually increased production by ~66.67%, as 3 are 100%, so 1 is 33.33% and now you have 5. If you were to remove 2 of the 5 drills now, you would reduce production by 40%.

[@rejitantony5615]

[@patrickiamonfire965]

You could use a T Valve which connects to three pipes which pumps lava. In that case you won’t need that many filters.

[@eldolly]

[@bastien4460]

Incroyable comme toujours Matt ! Force à toi ;)

[@Shatterverse]

The way you do the auto repair is you set up the scanner above it, put the wrench flinger back from it by a space with the opening facing up. Then you use a number pad between them to insert the durability value between 0 and 100 at which you want it to throw the wrench. I generally go for something like 5, and a ≤ thing. Then when it returns a value less than or equal to 5, down from 100, it will shoot the wrench at whatever the flinger is pointed at.

[@Shatterverse]

It's important to leave a space of empty air between the flinger and the target because otherwise it won't work.

[@Shatterverse]

The reason you want to make sure that the shooter is on the horizontal plane is so that you can refill it easy. Otherwise you're doing all kinds of jumping around and fighting with it if the shooter is in the air.

[@lavarsch]

Now you need a system that checks the number of the spanners, and another system distriputing them, so you only need to refill one spot :')

@@EpsilonRosePersonal automatic ejection of the bar onto a belt. I personally prefer to have an output belt that has a series of saw hooks with some circuitry connecting the saw hook, and smelter to a keypad so that the bars are ejected at the desired weight or greater, they then land on the belt and pass through their saw hooks to be trimmed to exact weight, with the trimmings going back to the start of the sorting system, each sorter has ore and bars on the tray, so they just go back to their respective smelters. I arrived at this after trying just an = comparator, but I've got so many mats flowing that the smelter contents basically never exactly equaled the desired weight, so never triggered.
