LArRe proxy 255 Slot

[Lord Read]

Has anyone figured out a viable plan for LArRe with fertilizer and using the proxy 255 slot? if the fertilizer is planted or gets stuck somewhere i'm not sure how to really handle that. Thought I had it working but for some reason a fertilized plant leaves behind fertilizer after everything is picked so that is going to screw up my logic. Not sure if that is a bug or not. Might abandon fertilizer for now unless anyone else has any ideas. I'm using the regular non data port trays. I have a working script with 35 stations and LArRe picking up the seeds and all the fruit then replanting in one go before dropping it off. Before I increment to next station I wanted to then go to fertilizer station grab and return which I can technically do but since I can't monitor the actual slot if its still occupied it will just cascade into failures. Don't see any documentation on how long fertilizer lasts. I assumed it would be gone when the plant was fully picked to replant but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thoughts?

I have an idea, use Cargo LArRe it has a TargetSlotIndex. They can read the fertilizer slot.

In general, it is easier to take harvie + cargo larre, harvie will be responsible for the harvest, and cargo for adding fertilizer and reading the state of the slot in the plant. (Theory, need to test) I don't want to use the tray device either because it takes up 1 extra slot with the pipe.

Fertilizer cycles based on type of fertilizer.

in source code i see next:

fertiliserSaveData.Cycles = this.Cycles;
fertiliserSaveData.HarvestBoost = this.HarvestBoost;
fertiliserSaveData.GrowthSpeed = this.GrowthSpeed;

You can check you XML save, to see how much fertilizer will last.

<PrefabName>Fertilizer</PrefabName>
<Cycles>2</Cycles> <----- THIS
<HarvestBoost>1</HarvestBoost>
<GrowthSpeed>1</GrowthSpeed>

I just tried with IC10 and a Slot Reader. The cargo Larree can't read any slots in the hydroponic tray, Thought i was doing something wrong but plopped a locker down and hovered over it and it can read that. move to hydroponic slot get nothing on a slot reader and an error with IC10. Looks like we are out of luck for clean fertilizer solution with hydropnics larre at the moment.

Off the top of my head, a separate go around with a stack of fertiliser in Larre's hand that it tries to shove into every tray? Not very time efficient, but until they implement something like proxy slot 254 for fertiliser, I'm not bothering making it pretty.

I thought of that and did try it but ran into issue where there was fertilizer still in the tray. then you get all backed up and messed up so i abandoned it. Will have to wait for devs i guess to do proxy slot for fertilizer.
