[@samuraidriver4x4]

Awesome setup, closed loop complete cycle seemed so daunting but in reality it's pretty simple.

[@cowsareevil7514]

And you don't have to be late game to do it.

[@pvstiphout]

Nice setup Mick. One small point. In your ic code for watering your hydroponics, you didn't set a maximum pressure. This way the volume pump will keep on adding more water. Probably faster then the plants are using it. I know I will take a really really long time to get to overpressure levels. Next vid the same on Vucan ore maybe even Venus? Love your content Mick, keep it coming.

[@cowsareevil7514]

I edited out the bit where I talked about that. I could have used the hydroponics to read the pressure but i thought I could just add or remove radiators on the cooler if I need more or less.

[@pvstiphout]

@@cowsareevil7514 we will never know what ended up on the editng room floor. 👍

excellent setup , thank you been wanting to see something nice done on Mimas.

[@davidkershaw9095]

This is so good. Thanks for all of this content! Just a small update, I built this setup and found the centrifuge has changed since. Seems the centrifuge is now a lot slower; I needed 4-6 centrifuges to keep up with the other parts of the chain (and the associated chute splits & merges) . - maybe the RPM can be adjusted? I also needed to pull the eject lever on the centrifuges (added to the device since the recording) to keep it flowing. Another tip: The connected hydroponic device will govern the timings of all the harvies. It's a good plan to replant all the rice when you have enough seeds for all rice, taking mind to deliberately plant the connected hydroponic device *last* - this keeps all the plant cycles in sync.

I'd love to see a new updated playthrough series on Europa or Venus. :D loved your Vulcan playthrough!

[@comwarrior69]

As I mentioned on a previous video about 2 weeks ago... As of 17547 centrifuges now degas ores, Told you it wouldn't take them long to patch that exploit.

[@cowsareevil7514]

Yes, I saw that one. Hopefully it is only the ores that get degassed and not the biomass.

[@comwarrior69]

@@cowsareevil7514 depends if it can be abused... Although, they still havn't 'fixed' being able to drop items through a wall or window or door, which i abuse more than eating and drinking...

According to the beta notes, they have since fixed it.

I'm using this setup in my no-ice moon map. This video has been most helpful.

[@bulletstop100]

I love watching your runs..

[@greatgruff1442]

Elmotrix 3x3x3 got me to have a go at this too. Mine is not as fully functioned as yours though

[@cowsareevil7514]

Elmo did a great job to get it all going from almost nothing. I just wanted to separate it all out and simplify it enough for most people to use.

[@grahamt6638]

OMG I think this is the first time I've ever seen you power doors right away lol

[@naiceify]

Be aware to OPEN the centrifuge with the new update ;)

[@sgt_retiredcharlie4102]

I'm a little confused about the programming you did for the hydroponics room at 33:00. You set both the cooler and CO2 pumps to come on with minimum thresholds, but where are the maximum thresholds to tell them when to shut off? From a programmers standpoint, (not knowing MIPS) it seems like the 2 off values are missing??? This is exactly what I needed! I just started playing the game and I finally bought a fertilized egg for $53,000 from a trader, but I don't want the chicken to die! Thanks for all the great videos! Without you and Murk, I wouldn't even know about this really awesome game! P.S. Probably a stupid Noob question, but how did you unlock/open your helmet without using the buttons under the #1 Helmet tab? Thanks

[@HotblackDesiat042]

To answer your first question, he's using a single set point to turn the pumps on and off. e.g. turn cooler on if room temperature is greater than 300°K, turn cooler off if room temperature is not greater than 300°K. He loads a room value into the variable "r0", and then overwrites that variable using sgt (set greater than) and slt (set less than) commands by comparing that room value to his set point value (with the aforementioned operand). The result is that r0 will be either true (1) or false (0) based on the greater-than/less-than condition. This way r0 can then be used to turn a device on or off by setting the device on true, or setting the device on false. To answer the post script question, he is using keyboard key binds. You can find them in the game settings. Cheers!

[@pvstiphout]

@@HotblackDesiat042 great answer.

[@douvonnie]

Love all the series. Keep going

[@calebkirschbaum8158]

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how many plants you use. CO2 isn't renewable in that loop. You might be able to use chickens? But I think it would just average out. Each Charcoal releases 3 Mols of CO2. Or rather, it depends on the plant you use. The plant has to finish growing and be harvested within 625 seconds. Only rice(340 sec) and barely Ferns (616 sec) achieve that goal. And that's assuming you are harvesting all 100% of them. Only harvest half of them, and you get only 312.5 seconds to achieve that goal. And of course, this is assuming all 100% of that biomass is going to charocoal, 0% going to the nitrogen. Now, add in fertilizer, and you may be able to achieve that goal. But since Harvie's can't fertilize and Aime's can only Mine, that will require you to fertilize all your plants. Now taking that into account, this is still really impressive. Links for reference: stationeers-wiki.com/Fertilizer and stationeers-wiki.com/Charcoal

[@cowsareevil7514]

There is also CO2 from the H2 combustor and from the player. Could add a GFG for more power and more CO2.

[@Jeremy-ci1iy]

Perfect set up and expertly entertaining :D

[@stormfire962imastarcitizen5]

Interesting set up Mick. But I will admit I am a bit confused about one thing. It was said in the past if there's no atmosphere then the radiators would not be able to cool since there is no way to transfer the heat from the radiator to the atmosphere since it can't be done in a vacuum environment. So my question is, how can the radiators cool if if the atmosphere is a vacuum?

[@cowsareevil7514]

Radiators will not work in a vacuum room, but they will work in a vacuum outside. They convect heat in atmosphere and radiate heat in a vacuum.

[@stormfire962imastarcitizen5]

@@cowsareevil7514 Thank you for clearing up my confusing on this and for your reply back. :D

[@GaryParkin]

Thank you for a really in-depth tutorial. I don't need a planter with a data connection for each Harvie? It seems not. If a Harvie is programmed it looks like it "sees" the planter below it, true?

[@QuantumStarfield]

Is there a link to either a video or the MIPS for your filter code? I've been using a pipe sensor and IC to just turn on/off my filters when pressure and ratio(gas) are high enough to bother, but having the filters do it themselves would be nice.

[@cybrown]

What happens when your plants get out of sync and you are using batch commands?

[@dragoken1616]

they shouldn't, but if they did they get reset after each cycle

[@cowsareevil7514]

That is why I used grow lights. They should allways have good light and the same growth rate.

[@eriksolce7000]

I know it's a sandbox game but did you just beat it (minus the mining) in a little over an hour of video? I can't tell if you did this in one sitting but judging by the cuts I'd say you did. IC code was done in real time and very easy to follow as well.

[@cowsareevil7514]

Let's call it sustainable survival. It was about a 6 hour session and Mimas is reasonably easy. There is still a lot of balancing to make sure the right quantities of gas are produced but if you were on a server you could quite happily log off now and be safe.

[@Xuhybrid]

If it's creative why not use the authoring tool? O_o

[@fuse98]

Likely to portray how you would do things, without the mining part which is quite boring to watch others, but quite therapeutic when you're the one doing it :)

[@cowsareevil7514]

I wanted to show that this can be done early to mid game with minimal 'magic'

[@absolutenift2234]

The devs are definitely onto you, the most recent beta patchnote "Fixed bug where thing could input through a ChuteFlipFlopSplitter and ChuteJunction output. Reject items moving through non-input connections." Commented so people know the junction trick you used with the harvies will be broken after the next patch.

[@cowsareevil7514]

I am sure that note made sense to the person who wrote it. I am hoping that means that the junctions can be replaced with the spiltters and still work the same but I guess we will find out soon enough. The next update is looking good. Edit: I did a test in beta and the junctions still work the same.

[@GaryParkin]

@@cowsareevil7514 So the junctions act as splitters at the moment? I was confused about that too. I'm using splitters and it takes a boatload of room. I wish we had smaller splitters.

@@cowsareevil7514 It could be useful as automatic lights, auto shut off crafting machines if nothing is being crafted, Auto shutoff doors and airlocks, automatically open interior doors, Turn off automatic machines when a player is close enough to hear it to reduce annyances, Turn on a beacon if no one is close to the base(Or lower than the number of player if multiplayer), etc. I'm sure there are other nice things you could set up to do, but IDK anything else at the moment.

[@cowsareevil7514]

@@calebkirschbaum8158 The beacon idea is a good one. I did think of auto lights but that is a bit boring. I was more thinking of turning on pumps to fill the room with fuel when someone sits on the toilet. But that might just be a personality disorder on my behalf.
