[@Atherax]

you could always have your pistons fire one after the other instead of at the same time, i dont play so i dont kow how you could get that to work but im sure the controller or a timer or even a mechanical sensor rig could do it

[@andre21198]

The controller block is meant for the sequencing operations, so yes it is exactly what you want.

[@eragon_o2]

If you’re worried about the speed of your pistons, just use timers so that they fire successively rather than at the same time. Also love your videos

[@muratsaroglu3921]

And he can use a controller to time it.

[@atomspalter2090]

looks nice lets see the wave

[@kaptainkiwi]

You don't need pistons if you use bearings controlled with a controller to rotate 360 degrees and use a sensor to reverse the bearings at the end of the row then use a logic gate to control the water and seeding instead of using the speed of the pistons. you can lessen the weight of the system by putting the water containers 20 blocks away from the pumps as that is the max distance with the wireless signal, maybe put the water containers alongside the garden that way there is equal distance to the pumps.. I love the content and Vids also love the live streams as well as when Mrs. Z1 joins to get you clams., she is so good to you.

[@SpookDudeGoesWild]

Wow I actually get to watch this video close to release, also I love the 2 views 9 likes

[@mikenelson6630]

Suggestion - you don't need to have 3 pistons all working at the same time. connect the pistons in a single line, but run them one at a time. It might take more controllers, and possibly sensors or sensor blocks, maybe even a logic gate, but it should keep your planters running at 1x speed. (sorry, I don't own the game quite yet). I'm thinking one sensor block to trigger water & planter, and another to trigger switching pistons.

[@38dedo]

So your farm is apparently right on top of the border of two chunks, that is why you got 2 raid timers, because you will spawn double raids. The raids spawn by scanning each chunk for crops. Both chunks which end at each side of your little farm detected enough crops to spawn a raid so you are going to get two raids. Your platform might make it easy to defend double raids but your framerate will still suffer. Since the invisible chunk border is right in the middle of your soil field, you can simply move your farm to either side of the plateau to make sure it's inside only a single chunk.

[@sebbes333]

*@Z1 Gaming* Connect the activation button through an XOR-gate (I think) to waters & planters (not pistons), so it only plants when the button is ON but not when the button is OFF (& pistons retracting). So they only activate when the sensor & button is BOOTH on, but not when the button is off.

[@Punchin83]

Run the pistons off a controller and have your switch go into an XOR gate. Have a sensor at the end in switch mode also connected to the XOR gate. Have the XOR connected to an AND and have the sensors for the planting and watering go to the AND as well. Then when you flip the switch it will water and plant on the way out, the sensor will trip the XOR and turn off the AND and the controller. This will return the carriage without triggering the water or planters. John Bane has a video on his channel for this setup.

[@Darthos3]

My auto planting and watering system is similar to yours. I use a memory bit (nor-nor-or). I push the button to activate it, the pistons go one at a time with a controller, and I have AND gates between the sensors on the side and the vacuum pumps/water cannons. The "active" side of the memory bit is connected to each AND gate, and a sensor at the end resets the memory bit. So, while the sensor detects the indicator blocks going both forward and backward, the vacuum pumps and water cannons are only triggered on the outgoing pass. Since the memory bit is reset for the return trip, the AND gates and thus the pumps/cannons are not triggered on the return pass. It took me a little while to understand memory bits and how they work, but now it's hard to build without them.

[@rejoice182]

That sounds worth learning! I’ll defo try this

[@Bigrignohio]

Can you use logic gates to extend only one pair of pistons? Extra block sticking out the side of the piston head to initiate a sensor when each pair is fully extended, allowing the next pair to extend. Also use logic to disable the watering/planting when retracting. Or just have a second switch to manually disable it.

[@sapphire2990]

I loved your live stream

[@PressnellHomestead]

hey brother, use another sensor to start piston 2 and 3 so it will go slow like you want. when piston one extends put a sensor and block there so piston 2 will start and same for piston 3. BTW love the content. YOU and splitsie is all i watch on all games. you have a awesome personality and do amazing at this

[@infernalord1526]

You can use a controller to time the pistons

[@JasonGranzow]

Z, I recommend putting two AND gates on there. Put the sensor and the switch on the AND gate then there and gate to the cannons and vacuum pumps. That way the only fire on the push out and don’t fire again when you retract them since the switch will be off keeping there and gate off

[@hairiaswan5104]

why dont you connect the switch to the sensor, so it will turned off when it goes back

[@janetcameron4652]

Thanks Z1.

[@undying29]

I was thinking about your elevator, would it now work better with a gear made from a controller, bearing and tubes turning on a static vertical wall with grooves? Some sensors required to make it stop of course.

[@Edgar-us8mq]

Do more Scrap Mechanic and Subnautica videos, we love them, we love you Z !!!

[@condabear6194]

if you use timers logic blocks you be able to have each set of pistons go one at a time

[@citruskennedy]

If you fire the three pistons on each side sequentially (one after another) rather than all at the same time, then you will maintain the slow speed you are after.

[@angelusmortis3256]

And he's still missing a tire...

[@shakeilpinnock2805]

That is what I am saying

[@Baconator222]

Ikr

[@promaster2403]

Make a train in scrap mechanic

[@2213DJ]

Amazing work!🤓

[@lukechandler7447]

Chuck the Pistons on a controller and make 3 stages for the pairs of pistons

[@Joshyyoshi08]

Yo you pr content is great

[@mabrown666]

A little fix for the setting piston bug, where it doesn't take the value you set it to. If you want it to be 15, slide it to 15, then with the screen still open but after letting go of the mouse, then slide it to another number like 14, and then back to 15. It's a bit of a pain, but that way it always sets the value you are looking for.

[@chasetoyama8184]

I just click on the value I want the piston to be at

[@HarrisAli973]

Great vid 😊

[@jaycruikshank6955]

Something cool is you technically don’t need wheels for that farm. Could just use rails and positions on both sides to keep pace. If that makes sense.

[@jaycruikshank6955]

But does cause more collisions

[@kadboodle]

You don’t need to use wheels with a piston pushed machine. You can just make a mounting slot and it’ll slide back and forth just the same :)

[@kadboodle]

But it can just be flat metal/wood on flat metal/wood

[@AshleyWinters79]

Can you set up a controller to set off each piston one at a time? Or would some elaborate sensor system be the better idea?

[@RedLeicesterCheese]

you can use the ramps that you get from the warehouses to defend your crops as theyre invincible to the farmbots

[@chriscaster8104]

You can use a controller to get the pistons to move one after the other just by setting the distance in consecutive boxes

[@seansettle]

The auto harvester works as long as it's 90 degrees from the plant plus it will pick up 3 rows at the same time rather than just 1 row.

[@FaLv3]

I hate when youtubers say that we can't see in the night even know it makes no difference whatsoever

[@tgoddard1988]

Wouldn’t a piston motor work better for this? With switches to tell it when to stop moving forward and reverse? That way you wouldn’t need to worry about constantly extending then having to move things because now the rig is too far forward? I think the same could be done for some sort of lift? Piston motor and a pole for it to climb up, at least them you don’t have to worry about speed on the way up or down?

[@s0litaire2k]

idea for pistons : Have the set of stairs leading to your base attached to pistons so you can "lift" them up to make a walkway to get to a turret to defend the base entrance with...

[@SethFey]

You can use controllers to control the pistons and just sequence one piston at a time

[@boundless8288]

Add delay timers between the pistons so they won’t all move at same time

[@Thors_Son_Gaming]

Could just hook the pistons up to a controller and have them move at different times

[@kylevanwinkle2081]

Use sensors to turn on the 2nd set of pistons only when the 1st set reaches max extention then the 3rd set after 1 and 2 are maxed out. Set then in stages instead of all at once

[@ryancoates4054]

Vacum pumps pick up 3 wide.

[@wumpie5267]

You can use a controller so that each piston extends after the other piston is extended. Then you don’t run into the issue of it going too fast.

[@Lunoxexe964]

Make like a rail to cross the rock

[@kadboodle]

You can set up logic for pistons firing in order, so they don’t all go off at the same time

[@mayorwanderer]

You Got way to destroy your seeds - replant

[@definatehuman2967]

Use a controller to make the pistons go 1 at a time

[@dor4610]

make a monorail!

[@catzual]

Adding controller to elevator can make it use 1 piston at a time slowing it a little so ya don't knock yourself out

[@benjivictor3125]

YOOOO

[@TminusDoom]

I'm so dumb.. I had the problem with the sensors hitting also, duh.. just move the block 1 away and turn sensors to 2! omg.. Thank You!!

[@ivanfaye3041]

You can destroy the tomatoes by hitting them with the hammer when they are planted

[@christophersabbagh2941]

If you hooked up the pistons to a control and told the pistons to extend one at a time the speed would not increase

[@markwharton7925]

What if you add a sensor to the pistons to tell them not to expand/retract till they hit a certain point?

[@NevynAtAll42]

Can you make the pistons expand one at a time, so their speeds do not add up?

[@claudiaoctavia6340]

sequence the pistons in a controller

[@AlexStraga]

If need slowly, you may use controller

[@ReyBeamm]

What times do you usually stream.

[@B.B0144]

Hi

[@benkegrobler4342]

The ramps in the game are indestructible. The bots wont be able to destroy it

[@rodolfojrcorres6027]

Hi :)

Missing tire day count: 3

[@J-Vlogs14]

Make AUTO HAVESTER!

[@Curlyfries-gh5xv]

You won’t have the issue of deloading your base and your bridge falls if you connect it to the ground

[@leonyarenas6523]

Weeeeeeeeew

[@stephenwilliams9292]

Instead of using max level pistons to move it why not use a piston engine? Cheap and efficient.

[@Silvyya]

yep.. uh i dont think you fixed your fov

[@g.sailesh6365]

Build a bridge

[@NifarisRed]

ever thought of doing other creators in there survival series to help with builds and designs?

[@coin_s_y958]

Do A tutorial to this beautiful machine

[@mirtonicalstudio6257]

fifth then

[@adriantegenfeldt1661]

Im early huh!

[@aidanaldrich3102]

Build a wheel plz

[@rapha31b]

just use an upgraded controller.. otherwise it will be too fast and you do not need to upgrade the pistons

[@mr.yawnie]

You do need to upgrade the pistons now if you want a max reach, as since the latest update, the controller respects the piston level and does not overwrite the length restrictions.

[@pauliusjan435]

Oof, 3 mina, HOW

[@kgosimotshoane5321]

Hi z1

[@akshajajay5900]

pretty sure you need only one extra piston for each side as most of the range of the first piston was used just to get to the soil plots which were placed at quite a distance from the platform, also you can nick the pistons from the elevator since you're planning to take it down anyways.

[@juanfranciscosanmarco7330]

The lastest coment is mine, always XD

[@thickboi9153]

Still have not fixed the wheel!

[@raysalmon8256]

Those things you are calling turns is really called 90 digress not turn

[@Doktor47]

Rusted metal makes me sad

[@moodz8021]

you still don't fix your wheels

[@shakeilpinnock2805]

Why is there one wheel on side of the car and the rest are doubled up

[@tristondhurpat2477]

[@mikenaylor7377]

Why don't you just use bearings and a computer instead of pistons
