Solo Day 1 to Auto Spaghetti on OT8! - Automation - PlateUp!

[@brendanmassaro9595]

It would make more sense if getting rid of pasta water was a sink interaction rather than a trash interaction. It would also make full automation possible.

[@HydraBurrito]

I agree that thematically it would make sense to empty into the sink (there are mods that let you do that). But it does make for a more unique starting dish that relies on trash so I understand why it was designed this way.

There are truly no words to describe the perfection of this god. They are so overwhelmingly talented and perfect that they are able to succeed at anything and everything. This moment in my life must be how the first believers in any religion must have felt.

impressive as always. great video!👍

[@XoIoRouge]

I have 200 hours in this game and I still enjoy it so heavily. I've always dreamed about getting MASSIVE OT Automation going but I never could really get good automation before day 15. It always felt like day 15 I barely got my first grabber, second blueprint cabinet, and desk loadout. I cannot believe. After all of these hours of play. I've never copied the blueprint of a blueprint cabinet to get more blueprint cabinets. I.... I.... :Facepalm.jpg:

[@HydraBurrito]

Copying cabinets is crucial! Happy automating!

Insane video, cheers for the ideas👍

if you conveyor the cooked pot of pasta onto a combiner (facing the bin) instead of a counter, will that "combine" the dirty pasta water with the bin? it's a shame this can't be fully automated without a mod.

[@HydraBurrito]

Unfortunately you can't combiner into the trash can :'( I don't mind it though. I think it's nice to have a mix of recipes you can automate and a few that you can't.

[@rmantell76]

@@HydraBurrito tis a shame. but i guess it gives you something to do 😂 with the automated pasta mod, all you need to do is replace that counter with a sink and put a combiner next to it.

I subbed :)

While an interesting show of automation... so many facepalm moments. Like manually running pasta to the top tables when the teleporter is right behind you. Or not automating tomatoes against the bottom wall and moving pots and pasta to the far right so you could have auto dishes on the left wall and then you could plate easier. Edit to describe the ideal setup based on what you did (this is also using some interesting combiner timing magic that happens with grabbers/conveyors): First, terms - Left - left wall Bot - Bottom wall Right - Right wall S - Sink H - Hob RM - Rapid Mixer CM - Conveyor Mixer T - Tomatoes Te - Teleporter OT - Ordering Terminal B - Bin CG - Grabber SG - Smart Grabber G - Grabber Co - Combiner P - Pots Po - Portioner Pa - Pasta PL - Plates C - Counter H Left B B OT Co G Pa Left CG H CG Co Right Left Te2 SG Te3 Co SG S G P Right Left Te1 CG Co G RM G T Right Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Let's first explain the pasta loop. A grabber will not grab from a hob (unless it's a smart grabber that hasn't been assigned) until the hob finishes cooking. So, Pot goes into sink. Combiner facing corner grabber from sink causes pot to be filled with water from sink as it's pulled. Pasta pushes onto the second combiner facing the corner grabber after the sink thereby filling the water-filled pot with pasta. Pot goes onto hob and gets cooked. Corner grabber moves cooked pasta onto combiner, which leads to the only manual step. You take the pasta pot off of the combiner and throw out the pasta water and then put it back on the hob (could save yourself time and do the corner grabber pot first and combiner pot last so you're not doing as much running). Once the pasta pot is empty, the smart grabber to the right will pull it back into the sink and restart the process. Next, the tomato, which would be straightforward - tomato gets grabbed and chopped against the wall and then moved onto a combiner to be combined with pasta onto a plate that will be waiting on Te3. Last, the plating - Combiner with pasta combines with combiner with tomato onto plate waiting on Te3. The SG to the left of Te3 is expecting a plated spaghetti and will push that to Te2 while the grabber below it will pull plates to Te1. You could optimize this slightly with a conveyer mixer. Though, your tomato won't be quite as fast, which I don't know matters all that much since you'll get overwhelmed anyway because the pasta has to be trashed. Not the CM would face the combiner to the left instead of needing an extra grabber from the RM. The pots can now go onto a corner grabber into the sink. The pasta can now go onto a corner grabber onto the combiner. Special note - it doesn't not matter which combiner the pasta goes on as they will both "activate" when the pot starts its journey onto the corner grabber, thus filling with water and pasta simultaneously. See below: H Left B B OT Co Left CG H CG Co CG Right Left Te2 SG Te3 Co SG S CG Pa Right Left Te1 CG Co CM G T P Right Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot This can be optimized one more time by using the portioner trick to portion water into the pot from a sink. However, you'd need to automate the tomatoes elsewhere and have them teleported in via Te5. But the sink would portion water into the pot that is sitting on the portioner and then the pasta would be combined into said pot. More space efficient. You could also just move the Ordering Terminal up 1 square so you can trash water and put the pot onto the hob without running around it. H Left B B OT Left CG H CG Co CG Right Left Te2 SG Te3 Co SG Po CG Pa Right Left Te1 CG Co G Te5 S P Right Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Bot Anyway, YMMV. I've been feeling extra pedantic watching videos lately and I hope you enjoy my attempts to optimize your set up. Edit 2 (bonus note) - If anyone is curious how I got this formatted, I used Google sheets to lay things out in a grid and then copied the cells and pasted that here. Surprisingly, it made a nice tab-based format. No need to spend far too long trying to space everything just perfectly.

[@HydraBurrito]

Ooh, nice ideas and formatting! First, I'll note that in this series of videos (Day 1 to auto), I don't focus as much on the most "optimal" builds. My goal is to show the process of getting an automated setup from scratch. I also try to make it a relatively quick video and minimize the amount of major reorganizations (because those take a lot of time). Optimizing for long overtime runs is a bit different since we have to consider what other dishes there are, what the map looks like, how big the groups are, map/restaurant theme etc. That said, it is fun to think about how to improve this one a bit! Here are my thoughts on your comments: 1. I ran pasta to the top tables because I forgot to get an Ordering Terminal until the last day (or lucky with Instant Service), so regardless I'd have to be up there to take the orders. 2. I think the combiner timing magic might depend on your computer. Mine does not fill pots with water unless the combiner/portioner is pointing directly on the sink (not on a adjacent grabber). 3. Regardless of #2, there is enough space around the hob/combiner/sink loop to make it a 2x3 (like what you're suggesting), rather than a 3x3 that I had (it doesn't have to be flush with the bottom and left walls). However, that means you have to run around the corner to empty that third pot. In the 3x3, the three cooked pots are in a line so it's slightly easier to empty manually. For a long overtime run, the 2x3 is probably better for the space savings and the faster pot cycle. In this video, I had plenty of free space so I didn't worry too much about it. I could've made the 2x3 loop in OT4 already by moving the hob down and left one and removing the counter/SG. 4. You're right, I definitely should've been building the dish right on the Te3 plate teleporter, seems strictly better, haha. This was probably because the counter was there on OT4/5 for me to manually bring a plate over but I didn't think about it more when I moved to auto-dishwashing setup. 5. Rapid mixer is significantly faster than conveyor mixer. RM pushes out a tomato sauce every 3s vs 5s for CM. Even with manual pot emptying and composting the trash, it's easy to output one pasta in

Not sure why your post edit text is so large, but it's slightly distracting. Please return back to the smaller text that was more like closed captioning and a little less "in our face".

[@HydraBurrito]

Hmm, someone on an earlier video commented that they were hard to see so maybe I over adjusted. I’ll try to find a good balance, thanks for the feedback!

Hi

[@ginga1304]

With a mod it’s possible to automate spaghetti now.
