Modules for Assembler

[Tom Foolious]

As I see it, you can only place 1 module on this using two slots next to eachother.

My question is: Can I place another module over one of the slots and then run some small cargo conveyor tubing from another slot on the assembler to the empty slot on the module?

You can place four modules on an assembler and still have two cargo ports available.

I'm having a hard time understanding what it is you're wanting to do. Can you give a screenshot or diagram, or phrase it differently?

[Tom Foolious]

So you have the assembler ports, and then the small ports. On two sides of the assembler are 2 small ports each, then on the remaining (long) sides - you have 1 Assembler port and 1 Small port.

I was believing you could only hook the modules up to the small ports, so that would give you 2 modules.

If what you're saying is the thing, then Assembler ports can be used with modules as well? And that's where the 4 modules come from?

My new question should be well enough of an answer for me. Thanks for responding!

Um... there are 8 of the small module connector ports on the assembler.
2 on each of the long sides.
You are eiter looking at the wrong thing or didnt inspect them very close 0.o

Yep! Those side ports which look like conveyor ports but also have the small yellow boxes in them are an either/or. You can hook a conveyor or a module to them and they'll work. =)

Awesome. Yeah I didn't plan well when I first placed the refinery and assembler in my mountain base. Will have to do some "remodeling" lol.

Thansk for the replies!!

Do modules have to be connected to 2 ports? Or will they still work the same if there is only one port connected?

Module connected to both ports = 100% while 1 port connected = 50%. So, technically they /can/ be connected to 1 module, but you won't get the full effect of them if you do so.

You can use this if you are running slightly low on mats to hook 2 machines up to a single module and gain a little boost to each instead of having 100% on just one.

Awesome thx guys
