Improved Extendable Conveyor System

Description
This is the original idea I had in mind for the Extendable Conveyor System. Unlike the simplified version released earlier, this one uses connector-to-connector connection for transfer and control.

Disconnecting the conveyor from the large ship might be tricky. Follow the instructions in the video to operate.

A big thanks to everyone who gave feedback on how to completely turn off the connectors.

Nothing loaded for me but a large asteroid.

you can use pistons for this now, which is great.

Do you have a guide to making this in survival, as well as the siczor arm in itself?

btw sorry to be the man of 1000 questions :P but with ur extending conveyer boom fuel thing you thing you chould make a stable extending walkway??

thats awesome! thnx for pointing that out this will definitly help with building my uss enterprise do you think you chould put that world on ur workshop as a ruff version just so i can see how it works and get a closer look? i was thinking about this and i was tinkering with a missle launching concept that was one big barrel that turned and chould shoot small ship missiles do you think the gravity mass block missle things you used in the video chould be put in this same concept? anywho thnx for pointing that out!

gamersnationn, Thanks, you mean like this? ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dcg5w-3emTg

ValkeRyan, yea scissor arms have its uses. Mass is definitely an issue with longer arms, and whether or not the rotors can provide enough torque to turn.

hey mk84 i hope you see this ive been playing around with space engineers for a couple weeks now and i just started working on a few concepts for a mothership/uss enterprise and ive been wondering do you are prety good with the game i mean all your stuff is awesome do you think it whould be possible to make a tractor beam like with gravity gens and stuff?
ValkeRyan Jul 27, 2014 @ 4:34am 
even with pistons, there are some ideas form extendable sistem that pistons cannot destroy, like the solare panels retractable sistem. I just need to know if the extendable sistem caan be as long as I wish or it would be too heavy, energy consuption, mass to move...
ValkeRyan Jul 27, 2014 @ 4:30am 
¿is it possible to make it as long as I wish or this is the maximum due to breaking probability?
Caféine Jul 26, 2014 @ 6:35am 
This is not obsolete, the pistons are quite shitty right now, they brake easily and you can't make them work with merge blocks without breaking them (i didn't manage to make them connect to a unique grid).
