Stationeers Automatic Advanced Furnace Reveal

It is finishedish. That means fininshed but I might still change it a bit. I have rearranged it and cleaned it up and I am pretty happy with the way it has turned out. It is not prefect but it works and it quickly turn out any of the most complex alloys. It is a complex build so be prepared.

That's a mindblowing piece of engineering, very nice work ! New challenge, connect the output to a series of chutes that will automatically feed the autolathe & other printers, so it pulls the materials when required for crafting, and the input to a series of silos of raw materials that alerts you when X ingredient is running low, meaning you have to go to mine & refill. And voila, creative like mode in survival :)

[@cultistofdarkness1661]

this thing makes me giggle like a child. the agony of trying to do super alloys by chucking chunks of ice into the furnace is no more.

[@PJF62]

Amazing Mick. I never cease to be blown away by the abilities of some of you guys.

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Excellent, now we need it as a product of a 3D printer - "Mick's Melter", just add steel, copper and a fart, and WOLLA! .. a 6 story furnace !

[@pcsplus2011]

Awesome man! Thanks so much for this, your videos have really helped me get a proper base up and running.

[@barinthus74]

after I figured out the IC and programming two IC codes onto one chip, this is by far the best Automated furnace in the game that I have seen. Thank you for this, it is now my default Advanced furnace setup. Keep up the great content. btw love the Venus Lets play

[@autom8it339]

Very nice. Completely automated furnaces are awesome!

[@ryguyver]

This is awesome Mick! Definitely gonna load this up and check it out!

[@ConnorArchibald]

Amazing work!!

[@aracron]

Incredible work, as always! Really loved the build videos as well.

[@cowsareevil7514]

Thanks. People liked the experimental build for the GFG so I thought I would do the same for this. Seeing the design process helps people break complex things down into managable pieces.

[@OdhisOdhiambo]

@@cowsareevil7514 yes yes yes :-)

[@steso8979]

well done sir !

[@7Wolf77]

Fantastic!

[@coldeonar]

Really cool

[@Elmotrix]

cool build :)

[@cowsareevil7514]

Thanks. There was the temptation to go for a PID in this one but I have no idea how to implement this with the upper and lower limits.

[@jojoskunk]

amazing its a masterpiece

[@IamGhede]

I want to make a furnace that has a huge number of redundant switches so it is like turning on a goddamn nuclear reactor.

[@ScreamingManiac]

That would be very impractical and unnecessary. I'm gonna do that on my next furnace.

[@Wha73v3r]

Awesome build, did I need to have a silo, vending for each single ore? Ore can I start with just a few?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Then vending machines are completely optional. You can have multiple ores in a machine or you can have dedicated machines. In this example I had dedicated machines for the common ores and shared machines for the rare ores.

[@lionllew6601]

Wow! I can barely.even get a simple loop to work sometimes... You sir are very good at this. Do you have a programming background?

[@SteveSalisbury]

Hi Mick. Hope this finds you well. Been trying to set up auto-furnaces and I'm a bit stumped with one thing. Intuitively it would make sense that if the furnace is not hot enough, you would introduce more fuel and it heats up to the desired temperature and then shut it off then play with pressure; but it doesn't seem to work as it seems to pump more and more fuel with nothing and then BAM, it shoots up way over where I would need it to be. Have you had this issue? I'm guessing you have to vent some gas from the furnace but to what point would you need to vent it for it to activate the H2, O reaction to start?

[@idcsteve]

This is awesome - question though - how do you do the text on the consoles?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Use the labeller

[@JacoKruger.]

above and beyond AGAIN, BUT when you made the first build of this furnace, you had the ore chute go straight to furnace right? why did you change it to not go to furnace anymore? you are hand feeding it now? if 99,99% to perfect is not perfect enough, then your OCD is really bad lol, this is perfect, specially now that the large batteries need some of the more difficult alloys, thanks again for explaining everything and giving a great build

[@cowsareevil7514]

I removed the direct feed when I built the second furnace. I can still easy feed the chute in the side and junction with the manual feed. 99% is close enough if I understand what is happening and choose not to fix it. If I can't figure out what is going wrong, then I am not happy.

[@HotblackDesiat042]

A simple query on whether the import slot of the furnace is occupied followed by a sleep command if true would probably suffice if you want to have it wait until the ores are processed before switching on the pumps to hit the target temperature and pressure. Cheers!

[@cowsareevil7514]

Not quite that simple. You have to maintain some temperature to enable to ores to melt and doing that will require more lines of code that I don't have. I need a MK2 chip with more pins and lines of code.

[@HotblackDesiat042]

@@cowsareevil7514 With perhaps the exception of solder, you should have enough temperature to process a batch of ores for any alloy. Once you set your furnace for the product it will target the temperature and pressure for that product. Unless you plan on feeding it a dozen stacks, or so, successively for multiple batches, or if you have solder targeting the min temperature (350K) rather than something closer to the max temperature (e.g. 500K), the furnace shouldn't get cold enough to stop processing. Probably the greater concern is over-pressuring the furnace when doing a batch of waspaloy. If the furnace is already at target pressure, I'd want it to vent as it's processing the ores! xD Cheers!

[@klarwasserofficial9878]

Works great! i love your videos thank you :) but since i use your code i have a bug in the game that the ic editor is not showing until restart the game completly. anyone knows a solution for that?

[@Jean-PhilippeCote]

Could you add a stacker at the end of the furnace to get bar bigger than 50g?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Yep.

[@ausvampire]

with the electric furnace you use the stacker chip on the ic housing on the front of the furnace?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Both furnaces use the same controller chip. You must run the stack program before loading the controller program.

[@mwwoggy]

Awesome! So when are you gonna put it on Venus?

[@cowsareevil7514]

I started it in the last episode. But I have changed the design so I will have to start again.

[@sfadick]

Awesome build. You probably will never see this, but for some reason waspaloy fails. Everything else works. When trying to do waspaloy, the furnace just pumps to zero and never restarts. Wish I could figure it out.

[@darrenhewson8293]

Mick any chance of a complete video no edits on how to build this ie setting the pin's on ic's and all that for noobs like me so I can build as I watch the how to video

[@cowsareevil7514]

I have a world save in the description so you can take it apart and check every detail.

[@7Wolf77]

Does he have a discord? I am wondering what ore mod or how is the world was modded for Venus playthrough...

[@mattthorpe7853]

Hi Mick, Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've got everything hooked up but the filtration unit wont turn on to top up the hot tank, any ideas? Thank you

[@cowsareevil7514]

Adding fuel that is very cold can cause situation where the logic locks up. Use the latest version of the code, I think I have fixed that. Otherwise prime the waste tank, low pressure there can make things work slowly.

[@mattthorpe7853]

@@cowsareevil7514 Thanks Mick, yeah its defiantly a low pressure issue. I don't think the furnace was reaching its target pressure so everything was waiting on that, i spent some time priming all 3 tanks and leaving it running for a while seems to have sorted itself out, I have found that if i login and the hot tank is around 15mpa it will run itself empty if i use the furnace for smelting, so i just jump start the system by turning off the IC then turning on the filtration for a few seconds after that it seems to settle down. Its the best furnace I've built so far. Great work.

[@DogsaladSalad]

Cows

[@ScreamingManiac]

You mentioned you are looking to eliminate the temperature and pressure fluctuations i watched a video of a guy who made a furnace that holds temperature and pressure pretty much constant its pretty impressive. Ill link it, maybe you could use it for ideas on how to improve your furnace he also has a guide on how to build it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHTYdqF-ibuGhpI

I literatly made something like this a few weeks ago >->
