Rust Modular Sorting System V2 | Tutorial

[@x-tremespeed]

Join my discord! discord.com/invite/u9JA6Kg3CF They have fixed the broken stackables problem, and you can now have a specific "Items" filter! The Items category filter is currently named "#BP_deployables", but will hopefully be changed to "Items" in a future update.

[@lickey8919]

Industrial is one of my favorite things in Rust. I am the builder and electrician for our group; I had fun figuring this out the first couple of weeks after update. The people i try to tell about the loot-sorting system say its not worth it but i think thats because they have never used it. My teammates ask for it on 2nd day of wipe now lol

[@x-tremespeed]

I absolutely agree! I have had so much fun playing around with this, and just the thought of never having to manually take hemp seeds out of our components box ever again brings me to a happy place 😂

[@faithresigns]

I like to feed the output of the end point back into the loop where the conveyor has 1 inclusive rule for a category, Medical, and 1 exclusive rule for anything not medical. This way every box in the base can be a drop box and it will stay organized.

[@abzy4368]

@@faithresignsthat is crazy smart. Love that idea

[@oab]

You don't need to connect the drop boxes with connectors. Instead, just run pipe from box to box directly along the line. The final box's output then goes to the conveyor.

[@x-tremespeed]

Both ways work the same way, I just prefer combiners plus they aren't very expensive. Bottom line just do whichever you prefer😄

[@dynasty2146]

Yeah but depending on positioning. Like we place the drop boxes outside….a grub could shoot arrows at it and break it. Breaking the entire chain. This makes each box separate and if one breaks the others will always work. Plus less work when it does break.

[@trkster]

Wow you answered every problem I had with my sorting system. I was wondering why it wasnt sorting in ladders for some reason

[@x-tremespeed]

Glad to be of service! Hopefully they fix that problem by next month.

[@wraithlord9607]

Just found your channel, and I have to say, I'm very impressed! Your knowledge of electrical and industrial in Rust is truly outstanding! I am struggling to understand certain aspects of this sorting system for how it would apply to the scale of an actual large clan base. Could you maybe make a mock base with numerous boxes to show how you would set that up after a wipe? Thanks a bunch, keep going, this is all very good content!

[@x-tremespeed]

Welcome, and thank you for your generous compliments! A full base setup is definitely up next on the todo list. I'm just in the process of deciding if I want to do a simple freestyle 2x2 or try to find a popular small group design from another creator. Of course there are a few requirements like not having bunkers too close to the main loot rooms as they tend to destroy pipes which is rather annoying to say the least!

[@wraithlord9607]

@@x-tremespeed Of course, you make quite the quality content! I believe a small group design would probably be best, as a 2x2 I believe would be a bit too small for a real storage system, but do whatever you think would be best, of course. Thanks for the quick reply.

[@x-tremespeed]

@@wraithlord9607 The first base I built back in February was an expanded 2x1 with open core. It had a nice amount of storage but it also had bunkers right beside the loot rooms on 2 of the sides. Even though the loot rooms were on the other side of a wall, the triangle roof piece would still break every single pipe in the neighbouring loot room. 2 of the 6 loot rooms ended up NOT being auto sorted which was VERY disappointing for me in the first real wipe using pipes 😥Never again! 😂

[@wraithlord9607]

@@x-tremespeed Dang, sounds like bunkers aren't quite the way to go then, huh? 😂 I do think that a base like what rusty phil did in this video would work pretty well, maybe just modifying it to your tier 1 multibox or tier 2 system. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raWWg5qrn5mSfas

[@x-tremespeed]

@@wraithlord9607 The weird thing is I could pass pipes through the little bunker gap no problem, and they never broke. Sometimes rust just doesn't make sense. I like that video, that base gets the job done!

[@bitcoinpoker76]

This is the hard way to do it, you don't even need a buffer box, daisy chain all your drop boxes, run that to a splitter and then daisy chain say 9 splitters. From each splitter goto a conveyor to a box and set the filter for what you need. Rinse and repeat for each item. If you are going to have multiple boxes of an item just daisy chain them from the box for it or you can even run from that item(s) conveyor to a splitter then to however many boxes you need for said item. This allows me to easily split up say 9mm, shotgun/bows and 556 weapons, etc..etc.

[@x-tremespeed]

You can do it that way for sure, it just won't auto correct. I find it very useful when playing with groups for the boxes to correct themselves as there is always at least one person that dumps things in random places 😂

[@FattyDomes]

just played a wipe where our usual "industrial tech" wasnt playing and there was no buffer box it annoyed me finding random things where they dont belong

You don't connect turn on to the power input, you connect the power passthrough from the previous conveyor into the power input of the next conveyor, then you manually turn the conveyor on by pressing the "Use" key ('E' by default). Hope this helps!

[@TurkeyMaze]

Chaining the boxes together and excluding items feels overly complicated. I like the drop boxes to a buffer box; but from there the, buffer box should simply go to a chain of splitters which goes to separate conveyors for every type of item you want to store. Those conveyors could go to splitters, which could go to any number of boxes. You could then fill your furnaces from, say, the wood and ore boxes. Combine their outputs to a conveyor which goes to splitters for your furnaces. Use more combiners at the drop box tree to take the output of the furnaces, which will go to your buffer box.

[@x-tremespeed]

The slight added complexity allows every box to essentially be a drop box. Even with auto sorting teammates will still drop random things in random boxes in my experience. If you've managed to box-train your pvp and farmer chads, good on you, but this way there is no training necessary 😂

[@TurkeyMaze]

@@x-tremespeed Oh wow - now I understand. I'll give this system another review as that is a great feature - sorting things in boxes where they don't belong.

[@x-tremespeed]

@@TurkeyMaze It was one of the original driving forces behind this sorting system. I was going crazy with the amount of torches, rocks, hemp seeds, water purifiers, chairs etc. etc. that *somehow* ended up in the armour, components, and weapons boxes. 😂 Now instead of ME vs. MESSY TEAMMATES it's ME + THE ENTIRE BASE vs. MESSY TEAMMATES. now I win 😁

How would this system ever pull gear and ammo and meds and whatever out to various lockers and kit boxes out in your base if the sandwich prevents pulling items out of that box?

[@x-tremespeed]

Yes! I've actually been meaning to update the pinned comment and will do so now. They did release a commit a while back stating they added the "Items" filter, but for whatever reason it got released as "BP_Deployables". Keycards are under the "other" category if you're wanting to sort them out somewhere.

[@Razor-md6gz]

i'd say industrial splitter and combiner are kindda useless unless u wanna play with the circuits. The most things u wanna use the most is conveyors, storage adaptors and that's it. The reason of this it's because you can serial-connect them with a daisy circuit with the output - input - output input and leaving the first chest input free, to connect it to the industrial conveyor. The only thing I can find really useful if u wanna split loot from a dropbox to multiple chest, it's crafting 1 industrial conveyor per chest + a splitter/s to connect them.

[@x-tremespeed]

They are pretty necessary for sorting like this! I suppose you could make a sorting system without any combiners or splitters, but it wouldn't be very efficient. it would be a long chain of box --> exclusion filter --> box -->exclusion filter etc. etc.... They also make things a little easier to keep track of mentally, so there's that!

[@x-tremespeed]

Thank you! 😄 No that's correct, conveyors without any filters will move every item. You only need filters when you want to put specific items in boxes.

[@CecilRegardes]

@@x-tremespeed awesome. I had no idea. Thank you!

[@gahbor]

in tier 0, why do the dropboxes go to a combiner instead of being daisy chained? I can only think of: simplicity, somewhat safety - if you were to daisy chain, a box destroyed means your buffer box won't be pulling from that box nor any of the ones before it on the chain

[@x-tremespeed]

It's mostly safety - each drop box is in a separate gatehouse so I would much rather have them connect into a combiner than be daisy chained together. You could of course daisy chain instead, I just think one or two combiners is a small price to pay for the peace of mind.

[@ericstevens650]

Thank you for the interesting video. Would you mind explaining the purpose of the splitter and combiner trees? I understand the need to add combiners and splitters as you add more boxes to the system, but is there another purpose for having the trees from the beginning?

[@x-tremespeed]

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but I'll do my best to explain it! Combiner/splitter trees are the most efficient way to combine/split to multiple boxes. It is a more compact way to connect pipes than doing it in a line. The first splitter tree connects the buffer box to all the sorting boxes. This allows each conveyor to pull its respective resources out of the buffer box. The second splitter tree does the same thing, but with Tier 2 boxes pulling out of tier 1 boxes. The combiner tree in Single Box Tier 1 connects all the single boxes to each other and back into the splitter tree so every box is connected to every other box. This allows the system to move an incorrectly placed item into the proper box. The final combiner tree which connects the multibox systems in both Tier 1 and Tier 2 allow the exclusion conveyors to be hooked up to the buffer box, allowing them to deposit incorrectly placed items back into the buffer box to be re-sorted. I hope this explains everything clearly!

[@steffen8446]

Do we need to put a splitter between every multi-box set up when doing the conveyor sandwich? And if so, why?

[@TrisketBiscuit]

Nevermind, it just got answered right after I typed this. Guess I should watch the whole video first lol

[@sarahsynergy]

Thank you so much for this playlist and especially this video! Your teaching style is really easy to follow. I got tier 0 and tier 1 working really well first try today. Similar to a multibox, for anyone that wants to have a box that has specific items that also exists in a category, use a sandwhich set-up. For example, if you want to have a clothes box and an armor box on your tier 1, especially before you need tier 2, put the regular clothes category on the clothes box and then use the sandwhich set-up for the armor box using the specific items you want in the box - that seemed to work for me. Another spot I use the sandwhich set up is comps because Rust doesn't count cameras or laptops as comps and everyone I play with puts those in the comps box - obviously if I were to add tier 2, I would move the cameras and laptops to the loot room. I'm going to try adding in autosmelting and auto tc filling tomorrow (Practicing before thursday's wipe) Thanks again and looking forward to more videos in this series. :) Ps. QUESTION - This is probably a silly question, but if I wanted a box for everything that isn't already accounted for with filters to go in, is that possible?

[@x-tremespeed]

Thank YOU for the generous compliments! It always makes me happy to see people finding value in my tutorials 😄 In terms of the "unfiltered items", there are two ways to tackle them. First, the easiest way is to just have at least one box per category type (13 categories, plus one more setup for the missing "items"category). The other way, and what you were looking for, combine ALL your conveyors' filter fail outputs and put them into 1 line using a tree of AND gates. On the last AND gate, insert 2 power from an electric branch. Output this AND into a conveyor, and passthrough into the turn on of this conveyor. You can leave the filter options empty. A side note, if you have both a weapon category conveyor AND a high tier specific weapon conveyor, you only need to add filter fail from the category conveyor. This setup will make it so the conveyor only turns on and takes items from the buffer box when all other conveyors have stopped moving items. There are two things to keep in mind so it works flawlessly - connect the conveyor input to ONLY the buffer box, not the tier 1 loop. This is so the conveyor doesn't start pulling all the items from your single box setups. Also, make sure you DO connect the OUTPUT of this box into the tier 1 loop. There is a slight chance for this conveyor to grab an item before the filtered conveyor grabs it, so you want the output in the loop so the right conveyor can still access the item. Hopefully that's helpful, but let me know if you need more clarification by what I mean and I can throw together a diagram! 😄

[@sann3v]

In the tier 1 multibox system. Is it not possible to just daisy chain all the boxes together without the conveyor sandwich. Or does that prevent the system from pulling restricted items back into the buffer box again. and through the system again?

[@x-tremespeed]

While it would technically work, it keeps the items constantly shuffling between the boxes. For example, if you put boots in box 1 they would move to box 2 after 5 seconds, then 5 seconds later back to box 1. This would happen with all your loot 24/7.

[@sann3v]

@@x-tremespeed ahh ok. Because when I tried it on ukn build. It never moved boxes. But could be because of lag removal. I could also be wrong tho. Am not that pro of industrial

@@sann3v Strange it didn't happen on ukn... I can't tell you the amount of people that came up to me asking for a fix for that exact problem haha!

[@lucas7885]

Is there a way to prioritize some outputs? Like if you have automated furnaces and an auto crafter how can I prioritize those outputs before the storage boxes?

[@x-tremespeed]

Both the furnaces and the crafter can pull directly from the storage boxes AND the buffer box so you don't need to worry about prioritization in that sense.

[@connorplatts9582]

Can you miss the tier 1 set up and go straight into Tier2 from the drop boxes?

[@x-tremespeed]

The Tier 2 is specifically for higher grade armour, weapons, and potentially explosives. If anything, you would only have a Tier 1 without a Tier 2.

[@crabhmandu5819]

would really love to have you come into my base to find out what the heck is going on. ive got my buffer boxes set up and they just keep cycling through eachother non-stop. this wasn't the case a couple months ago when i last tried it. setting up the "sandwich" helped stop cycling of the specific loot boxes but the generic buffer boxes without the "sandwich" just keep cycling. they're driving me mad! the constant whirring of the machinery, the constant rotating of the loot... IT JUST KEEPS GOING ROUND AND ROUND. NEVER STOPPING ROUND AND ROUND. I THINK IM GOING CRA- ROUND AND ROUND...

[@x-tremespeed]

The only conveyors going into your buffer box should be from your drop boxes OR the second conveyors in the sandwich setup. It sounds like you have a pipe from the output of your buffer boxes looped directly into one of the conveyors going into the buffer box.

[@zultaranis]

Could you explain the reasoning behind Tier 1 and 2? Im other words, what would be the reason why you would not sort Tier 2 specific items directly from the buffer box? Is the in-between Tier there to help reset the conveyor max container limit or something?

[@x-tremespeed]

Tier 1 is for categories so they will grab every type of weapon, for example. Tier 2 then grabs the higher tier guns from the tier 1 box. You could also have this pulling from the buffer box, but it needs to pull from the tier 1 box regardless, so the buffer box connection is unnecessary.

[@alphamoonman]

How come you made the conveyor system circular in the first section? What's the point of that and why is it superior to some other method?

[@x-tremespeed]

The single conveyor to single box method is simpler to set up and doesn't require a buffer box if you don't want one. The downside of course is only 1 box per conveyor, and you can only have up to 32 boxes. I would recommend setting up every box (including single boxes) with the sandwich setup though, as currently it doesn't require any extra power and it gives you more flexibility.

You can have as many boxes as you want with this! There are 2 main limits. Only 32 boxes max in the single box setup (this includes your buffer box(es), and a max of 32 boxes per sandwich setup (this shouldn't ever be an issue as no one needs 32 boxes for just 1 type of resource).

Generally you only want to output boxes in groups. For instance, only combine the resource boxes for TC upkeep and crafting, and only output weapons and armour for locker kits. You shouldn't need both resources and kits on the same pipe. The only reason you would need to have one line for everything is if you have a bunkered loot room and you have a conveyor for loot recall, but that's a different system altogether.

Unfortunately you can't have any sort of complex filters. You can either include everything you want in the box, or exclude everything you don't. The best way is to have a box filtered for weapons, then a second conveyor connected to that box's output filtered for bows and arrows into a second box.

[@ryandyla4745]

Love your modules - I'm learning a lot. Ok so I made something close to this system, but my weapons box only fills to the first 4 slots leaving the rest of the weapons in the drop box. They arent skinned items, and none of them are less than full health. Any idea what I'm looking at?

[@x-tremespeed]

I'm glad to hear you're benefiting from the modules! 😄 That is very strange behavior.. The first thought that comes into my head is if you accidentally set a max or min setting on the filter? Min being that it would only move guns that exceed the amount set in the buffer box, and max meaning it would only fill up the weapons box to the set amount. I can't think of any other reason off the top of my head without having a look at your setup.

If you find the whole thing to be too much, you can just build up to whatever you feel to be worth it! I always recommend tier 0 at the very least if you have a compound, and the simple tier 1 setup with categories is very quick to make too. It's only once you get into the multibox setup that it takes a bit longer

[@wphew]

what server do u use to make all these circuits?

[@x-tremespeed]

I run my own locally hosted server. Look up "how to host local rust server" on KZbin and you should find a few videos showing you how, if you're interested!

[@wphew]

@@x-tremespeed alright thank you

[@sergevaitkevicius9687]

I have done it and everything works but in the multibox it splits it into my 6 different boxes and doesnt go to the bottom, is there a fix?

[@x-tremespeed]

Add a second storage adaptor to the box you want to be your main box. Connect a conveyor to one of the splitter outputs between the last box and the second conveyor in the sandwich setup, and hook the new conveyor output into the new storage adaptor on your main box. You don't need to worry about adding any filters on this conveyor. Hope this helps!

[@sergevaitkevicius9687]

It does drag some things but, i have 6 boxes in this multibox setup and 2 are already full, it cycles items in that last box and all the rest other 5 boxes stay the same

[@sergevaitkevicius9687]

Would it mean i need a conveyor in between each adapter for it to go to the right box?

[@x-tremespeed]

@@sergevaitkevicius9687 if you want to have it completely organized, yes. I think it's good enough to just have one main box you interact with that you keep full, but you can do it either way you want. You will need to put a new storage adaptor on EVERY box and only connect the new conveyors to the new storage adaptors if that's what you want to do

[@daniel90655]

Hi i want to do a thing. I would like to move all the loot from the crates to a single box, is this possible? it would be practically the opposite of dropbox

[@x-tremespeed]

What you are describing sounds exactly like the drop box to buffer box setup. Connect all your boxes to combiners to get down to 1 line, put that into a conveyor, then output the conveyor into your single box. Set your filters on the conveyor. The very beginning of the video setting up the drop boxes into the buffer box goes through these exact steps. Hope this helps!

[@daniel90655]

Thanks for the reply. I mean that for example from the resource chest, by pressing a button the loot is all transferred to one chest, the same goes for the other loot chests @@x-tremespeed

[@x-tremespeed]

@@daniel90655 Ah, I see what you mean. Take an output from the splitter that is between your last box and the exclusion conveyor, output that into a new conveyor, and output the conveyor into a separate storage adaptor on your most convenient box. I have an example of this at 20:50 in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIfbeY2Agr1oe6ssi=kwl8jClcLrEXPP_- Hope this helps!

[@daniel90655]

so if I have 5 chests, one of resources, one of ammunition, etc... I have to connect all the splitters of each respective chest to a conveyor right? @@x-tremespeed

[@x-tremespeed]

@@daniel90655 Yes, you'll need 1 conveyor per resource type. You can, however, use the Filter Fail of the exclusion conveyor into the power in of this so you don't need to allocate any extra power for it!

[@ukiraisic]

Do you even need to put the tier 2? Can i just use Multiboxes without tier 2 or does that mean that they can't sort specific items?

[@x-tremespeed]

@@ukiraisic you don't need tier 2 at all. Tier 1 is to sort everything into broad categories (weapons, armour, etc.) Tier 2 is to sort things more specifically. For example, to sort AKs in a separate box from the rest of your weapons (bows, swords, etc)

[@ukiraisic]

@@x-tremespeed Hey i did all with just tier 1 but my problem is is that its not sucking loot from boxes its just sorting if its in drop boxes

[@x-tremespeed]

@ukiraisic it should go like this: Buffer box -> splitter tree -> conveyors -> boxes -> exclude conveyors -> combiner tree -> buffer box Hopefully this helps!

[@ukiraisic]

@@x-tremespeed It is like that, i followed tutorial completely but its not sucking any loot out of the boxes and i have no idea why

[@x-tremespeed]

@ukiraisic make sure when you connect the combiner tree into the buffer box you do NOT go through the buffer box conveyor. It's important to use a combiner AFTER the buffer box conveyor, as it will block loot from transferring out of your storage boxes otherwise.

[@Destinyskull]

Great video! Love the improvements!!

[@x-tremespeed]

Thank you! It's about time I addressed the issues with version 1 haha

[@emil7163]

I havent tried this so not 100% sure it works but cant you connect buffer box into a splitter then 3 conveyors and then back into a combiner and then into a box, that way you should be able to have 36 filter for 1 box

[@x-tremespeed]

That would definitely work for sorting things into the box, but unfortunately it wouldn't work so well for exclusion filters on the conveyors coming out of each box.

[@danielbals5239]

there is no way to use that in a base with bunkers right?

[@x-tremespeed]

@@danielbals5239 generally no, but there are certain ways you can pass pipes into bunkers. The easiest way, although I haven't done this since pipes came out last year, is to have offset bunkers and have the pipes go in through the gap. Your mileage may vary with that. There are other ways to pass pipes through walls by using roof pieces, placing splitters and combiners on the angle, then removing the roof. There are a few videos showcasing how to do this on KZbin.

That means you have too many storage adaptors connected to a conveyor. This is most likely due to too many boxes in the simple tier 1 setup. Use the sandwich multibox setup for even the single boxes and that will hopefully solve your problem!

When I add 1 more filter to the box, the weapon is added, but as soon as I add an exception for the 2nd filter, everything starts jumping and flowing into each other video with problem. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJzJp3yIjNSKacU

[@x-tremespeed]

You can't have 2 exception filters on the same box. The first one will move everything from the second conveyor, and the second one will move everything from the first conveyor non-stop. You either need to choose ONLY 12 weapons for your tier 2 OR create a second separate weapons box. Hope this helps!

[@DoomsdayGundam]

I also get lost around tier 2

[@x-tremespeed]

I'll try my best: Tier 1 is a generalized sorting tier. This is a catch-all tier with the sole purpose of making sure every item in the game has a box to get stored in. The most simple way of achieving this is to literally have 14 conveyors, each set to one of the 14 filter categories (listed in the description). Tier 2 is to divide the higher grade items from the lower grade items. This is almost exclusively for guns, armour, and explosives. In tier 1 you will have a conveyor set to the "weapons" category filter. Generally you don't want your waterpipe shotguns and your AKs in the same box, so you pull out the latter from the tier 1 "weapons" box into the tier 2 system. You can do the same with higher grade armours etc. If you don't care about having all your weapons in one box regardless of grade, or your armour etc. you can forego tier 2 altogether. I hope this helps to clear things up a bit!

[@DoomsdayGundam]

@@x-tremespeed dude you're a legend! Replying to a comment on a year old video expeditiously was not on my bingo card. So to be clear I can conveyor sandwich just the weapons & armor boxes or do I have to sandwich everything? Thanks for all you do!

[@x-tremespeed]

@@DoomsdayGundam For sure! The "sandwich" setup is only needed if you have a single conveyor depositing into more than one box, however you do need to have every box in a "sandwich" setup in tier 2. Put a splitter after the last box in your Tier 1 setup and hook that up to a Tier 2 conveyor to pull out the higher grade items into their own box!

[@TherealHeisenberg87]

What is the reason for tier 1 could you skip to tier 2 with out tier 1?

[@x-tremespeed]

The tiers are more of concepts than build designs so you can't "skip" tiers. All of your loot goes in what you would call Tier 1, and Tier 2 is optional. Tier 2 is to separate higher tiered items (AKs and LRs from all other guns, or Metal Facemask/Chestplate from other armour, for instance) into their own boxes, if you want.

@@baconjam7140 "Any Item" will move each item in the filter (or every item in the input box if left blank) as you would expect, without any restrictions other than the conveyor's limits of 60 items per stack max and 12 stacks max. "Require All" will only move items if every single filtered item is in the input box and can be moved. This is mostly for things like autocrafters where you might only want materials moved into the crafter if EVERY item is present. "Exclude Listed" is just the opposite of "any item". It will move everything that is NOT in the filter list. Hope this helps!

For the drop boxes? they are only 75 metal frags, it's easier to keep organized, and if any of your boxes break ALL the other boxes will still work fine instead of every box behind the broken one losing connection. Neither way is substantially cheaper or easier than the other. Both work fine and you're welcome to daisy chain the boxes instead if you prefer.

While these systems are cool I don't think they are worth it due to the way the piping is implemented. Wiring is easy and stays out of the way, but the industrial systems are clunky and obviously there. Living in a cost-effective base makes it nearly impossible to implement complex systems like this.

[@x-tremespeed]

You can simplify it to the point where it makes sense for your base 😄 You can skip Tier 0 if you don't have a compound, and you can squeeze a conveyor above each box for Tier 1 sorting. The pipes can be a little annoying, but running them along the ceiling keeps them out of the way. I've set up auto smelters and auto lockers in a 1x2 before!
