Can someone please give some link how to use the new instructions in MIPS programming.
For example, how to use the instruction "PrinterInstruction.EjectReagent" in the code

[Alizia Kaline]

A good start will be here : https://stationeers-wiki.com/MIPS

For the last instruction introduced in the last update, you won't have any documentation outside the game yet, it's too soon. You can find the instruction list in programming UI ingame.

Thanks for the link, but I was just talking about the new features, I'm pretty good at basic MIPS programming.

Maybe you saw these already, but Rocket put some useful such code in his announcements:

https://discord.com/channels/276525882049429515/1169465377043001364

Example:

# clear all memory on device
clr d0

# eject all reagent steel
sll r0 HASH("Steel") 8 #offset 8b
or r0 r0 PrinterInstruction.EjectReagent
put d0 0 r0

[Morpheus222cz]

Okay.
Thanks, that's what I was looking for.

I've only been familiar with bit operations for a few days, so I'd like to ask, I can't figure out how to read the PrinterInstruction.MissingRecipeReagent instruction in the code and get what items and how much is missing from the given recipe. Thanks

I don't know exactly how it works: I once wanted to use IC10 to read that directly from the manufactory, couldn't pull it off. Then I heard on Discord that there are special IC10 commands to deal with "reagents" - that's probably what's going on here. I have no clue how exactly, but I assume that reagents may be a special data type that you may to "look inside" of with those commands.

PrinterInstruction.MissingRecipeReagent

Will only show if the recipe is preceeded by a "wait for recipe" instruction. In other words, the MissingReagentRecipe instructions will only be populated if the machine is waiting to complete a recipe.

By default, the machine will not wait - and will skip a recipe and try the next - if it does not have the reagents.

[Morpheus222cz]

I have a waiting set, I read some value but it is not the HASH value of the reagent that I would expect, I don't know what that number means or how to find out which reagent is missing.

alias printer d0
define prefabHash HASH("ItemIronSheets")
define quantity 2
clr printer
alias temp r14

sll r0 1 8
or r0 r0 PrinterInstruction.DeviceSetLock
put printer 0 r0

or r0 0 PrinterInstruction.WaitUntilNextValid
put printer 1 r0

sll r1 quantity 8
sll r2 prefabHash 16
or r1 r1 r2
or r1 r1 PrinterInstruction.ExecuteRecipe
put printer 2 r1

or r0 0 PrinterInstruction.EjectAllReagents
put printer 3 r0

sll r0 0 8
or r0 r0 PrinterInstruction.DeviceSetLock
put printer 4 r0

main:
get temp printer 54
sra temp temp 16
s db Setting temp
yield
j main

It didn't occur to me that the hash of the agent is returned, I expected the HASH of the ingot, so after conversion it is displayed correctly.
But the problem is with the quantity value. According to the byte_8 type, it should have values 0 - 255, but here, when exceeding 63, it overflows and counts from zero (for example, it shows 65 as 1, 255 as 63)

[Morpheus222cz]

Another error is that the printer returns the missing quantity as the missing number to produce one item times the number of items. (For example, I want to make 8 pieces to make one item, 10 iron and 5 gold are needed, if the printer is empty it will return correctly 10 * 8 = 80, but if there are 3 ingots in the printer it will return 7 * 8 = 56 error)
