simple automation working range?

[Tazajin]

Hi, just got to the era to use an extractor but i just noticed that when im "far" away it wont work anymore? my chest was almost empty even when i was away for like 20min
so what is the range i have to be in for them to work? or was it just buggy?^^

you can build a "Totem" or what the name of it is .... it only need Iron and will hold the "Sector" aktive ... so you din´t need to be next to it ... but if you use to meny totems it will slow down the game

do u perhaps know at which crafting station i can build that totem?

[Freeborn]

its the normal crafting station

i din´t know the age for it but if you can craft the miner you can craft the totem for sure ;)

PS: ther a 2 totems .. 1 for "1" sector and one for "3x3" sector

Monoliths don't seem to work. Been using the 1x1 and the extractor doesn't stay active.
I stand around afk for an hour and I have a full big container full of sand stacks.
I run away to my main base for 20 minutes and come back and container has 120 sand in it (time it took to run to the tower and teleport away and put sand away at base)

Might be because we are on multiplayer. Maybe monoliths only work for single play

a and thing about it that items have a "body" ... so you can´t have over 100 items at a time "aktive" on the ground ( well i din´t know the real number of items max )

so if you play in multiplayer its a prob. if you have to much items aktive
