Sorting machine

[bluedragonrs]

is this a feature in game already or is it still in devolpent im asking cus its a pretty important piece when making a lardge scale factory(currently im at t 5/6 and have not encounterd it yet)

There is only one device witch can work for sorting. Smart and Programmable splitter from Caterium Research.

There is smart splitters, and there is another splitter in the M.A.M research I haven't gotten to yet which can help with sorting.

Read the wiki.

ah ohkay explored those 2 only a little bit havent found lardge quantity's of it yet

sorting is crap anyway mate, even with the two aforementioned crap solutions we have and i tell you why

they required dumb crap amount of space to layout and be effective look crazy stupid when you have them working as required and most important clog up

and this is linked to my number #1 complaint the crap basic logisitcs on delivery of resources/items via any transporation method

wel basicly my only problem was how am i gona deal whit my future train situation(due to the fact my oil refinery is 2000 m away from my main factory wish leads to 2 resources i have to move bye train) everything else was a matter of optimization(like how i used 1 new iron mine to make 240 screws per min) my advice on this THINK BIGGER

[Shane]

yea you know nothing about trains and train bugs lol

[Shane]

what are the two resources you desire to move ?

I have my oil plant area about this far away, i'm guess it is on a island chain of a beach area at least that's where mine is, and i bring all items across the water on a bridge i built on conveyors (4 of them, one for each item - Plastic/rubber/resin/packaged fuel) then load them into a truck stop which is picked up by one Sugercube tractor and brought over to my factory truck stop loading area and split into the sorting system I set up.
Each run that's about 5 or so minutes and i have more than enough resources coming in to keep everything running, if anything i'm over stocked on Packaged fuel and Rubber now.

Before you ask - Yes i do own the game, i have it on the Epic store not steam. with about 60+ hours so far logged.

what happens when your plastic production jams up because the final storage reaches max capacity drade ?

@ the point of programmble splitter stage when you still require plastics to feed a line, but rubber is on the belt preventing it from reaching it.

your game requires plastics but the belt is trying to chuck rubber down it ?

Excess is pumped into the Awesome sink, altho i am filling 2 of the 48 slot containers first so to have a buffer incase of break downs while i fix bits.

I will try to get a few pictures of my set ups if it helps explains things but will take me a little while to sort out as was last half way across the map exploring.

♥♥♥♥ im interested for sure...

but my main question is this, do you know what im actually getting at ?

Yes, but as i'm making a lot of items hat use the oil based items it hasn't as yet cause many major issues, apart from the very beginning when i vastly miss counted just how much i was making from the oil area and pumping into the main factory set ups but a few alterations later its running fairly well - other than having a massive over stock of rubber (mostly sorted just needs a little tweak) and fuel but that is my next project to sort out this week.

Sadly I'm having a little trouble getting the screen shots to add to steam right now but as soon as I've figure that out i'll let you see them.
