00:00:00.030 and we're back and we're doing a little 00:00:03.86000:00:03.870 tutorial today because I'm on holidays 00:00:05.96000:00:05.970 probably sitting on a beach in Lisbon 00:00:07.34000:00:07.350 somewhere drinking some whiskey or in a 00:00:10.25000:00:10.260 Barren has been some more drinking some 00:00:11.39000:00:11.400 whiskey some more in Lisbon there's 00:00:13.87900:00:13.889 whiskey again there's me and but today 00:00:15.91900:00:15.929 we're gonna cover one of those subjects 00:00:17.99000:00:18.000 that I find really really use from that 00:00:19.37000:00:19.380 is practical automation just a little 00:00:21.08000:00:21.090 bit of practical automation I've seen 00:00:23.30000:00:23.310 many bases with lots of excessive 00:00:24.98000:00:24.990 automation as I'd call it but just 00:00:26.59900:00:26.609 little bits of practical automation can 00:00:28.04000:00:28.050 make your life a lot simpler and goes a 00:00:29.35900:00:29.369 long way towards making your base 00:00:30.56000:00:30.570 sustainable I'm not going to be covering 00:00:32.51000:00:32.520 the ins and outs of how all the 00:00:34.40000:00:34.410 automation gates work this is not that 00:00:37.40000:00:37.410 type of tutorial I want to show you 00:00:38.45000:00:38.460 practical automation stuff that you 00:00:40.52000:00:40.530 would actually put into effect and use 00:00:42.83000:00:42.840 and about the stage the game we're going 00:00:44.81000:00:44.820 to first encounter that is when you set 00:00:46.13000:00:46.140 up your first self-powered electrolyzer 00:00:48.13000:00:48.140 self-powered electrolyzers are really 00:00:50.11900:00:50.129 handy if you haven't actually built one 00:00:52.31000:00:52.320 before you really need to do that but 00:00:54.52900:00:54.539 the first thing you're going to 00:00:55.16000:00:55.170 encounter is they I put this hydrogen 00:00:56.72000:00:56.730 now if this hydrogen here backs up it 00:00:59.63000:00:59.640 will actually cause complications with 00:01:00.97900:01:00.989 these designs it's no one issue so you 00:01:02.63000:01:02.640 don't let the hydrogen backup the most 00:01:04.91000:01:04.920 common you think people do is they just 00:01:06.98000:01:06.990 dump the hydrogen straight into a couple 00:01:08.53900:01:08.549 of hydrogen generators one or two 00:01:10.03900:01:10.049 depending on what what a so Palmer self 00:01:14.30000:01:14.310 powered election as you set up you're 00:01:15.35000:01:15.360 using and I need power they generate is 00:01:18.08000:01:18.090 either feeds this machine or is dumped 00:01:20.06000:01:20.070 into the jumbo battery right here you're 00:01:22.24900:01:22.259 just burning off all the hydrogen 00:01:23.42000:01:23.430 immediately and storing up enough power 00:01:25.07000:01:25.080 and this jumbo battery to make sure that 00:01:26.30000:01:26.310 this system will always keep running 00:01:27.67000:01:27.680 this is a simple safe way to make sure 00:01:29.99000:01:30.000 all the hydrogen is burnt off however 00:01:31.88000:01:31.890 you could be siphoning off that higher 00:01:33.95000:01:33.960 power you could be actually using that 00:01:35.89900:01:35.909 power for something better so for 00:01:37.76000:01:37.770 example if we just say grab another 00:01:39.77000:01:39.780 battery in here we'll grab a smart 00:01:41.33000:01:41.340 battery stick that in there Oh actually 00:01:45.38000:01:45.390 let's make sure we have enough hydrogen 00:01:46.60900:01:46.619 on the line it will probably be fine and 00:01:49.46000:01:49.470 then we'll hook up an automation wire 00:01:54.83000:01:54.840 and we're gonna put that at sea 90/60 00:02:02.92000:02:02.930 now that's just less let's just fast 00:02:05.27000:02:05.280 forward just a little bit shall we 00:02:10.74000:02:10.750 so as you can see right here the 00:02:13.78000:02:13.790 hydrogen is actually starting to back up 00:02:15.22000:02:15.230 all the way and this is bad this 00:02:16.72000:02:16.730 hydrogen is going to back up into the 00:02:17.98000:02:17.990 system this is all excess hydrogen we're 00:02:20.80000:02:20.810 producing now that we're regulating the 00:02:22.60000:02:22.610 control so what we want to do is come a 00:02:24.55000:02:24.560 little automated system to siphon off 00:02:26.29000:02:26.300 enough hydrogen so that we don't have 00:02:27.79000:02:27.800 any problems simplest thing to do is you 00:02:30.58000:02:30.590 get one of these gas produced here which 00:02:31.84000:02:31.850 I've already placed here in a in advance 00:02:33.94000:02:33.950 and we're just going to siphon off to 00:02:35.56000:02:35.570 the gas any overflow natural any 00:02:38.92000:02:38.930 overflow hydrogen will flow out through 00:02:40.78000:02:40.790 there let's actually just stick on a 00:02:42.61000:02:42.620 quick bridge here you'll be fine and now 00:02:49.09000:02:49.100 you'll see that that hydrogen just flows 00:02:50.41000:02:50.420 straight down here this means you'll 00:02:51.97000:02:51.980 always have a bit of a buffer of 00:02:52.96000:02:52.970 hydrogen here waiting to get fed into 00:02:54.43000:02:54.440 the battery and then all the excess 00:02:56.02000:02:56.030 hydrogen will get sent over here and 00:02:57.55000:02:57.560 we're going to pretend that we're 00:02:58.87000:02:58.880 dumping this into our base where we're 00:03:00.31000:03:00.320 going to be hooking it up to our systems 00:03:02.05000:03:02.060 and this is probably what you'll end up 00:03:05.11000:03:05.120 with first time you do it which is a 00:03:06.49000:03:06.500 couple of gas tanks for storage and your 00:03:08.92000:03:08.930 hydrogen generator hooked into your main 00:03:10.51000:03:10.520 grid with the smart battery of course 00:03:12.12000:03:12.130 Chapa burn off that power at a 00:03:14.95000:03:14.960 reasonable rate but of course you 00:03:17.32000:03:17.330 haven't what you've done here is what's 00:03:19.42000:03:19.430 going to happen to you a lot to write 00:03:20.68000:03:20.690 this game is you've actually created a 00:03:22.30000:03:22.310 point of failure without even realizing 00:03:23.80000:03:23.810 it eventually this hydrogen is going to 00:03:25.57000:03:25.580 back up if you're not burning it fast 00:03:27.13000:03:27.140 enough it will back up through this tank 00:03:28.54000:03:28.550 and this tank and back up all the way 00:03:30.10000:03:30.110 along again and you won't even notice it 00:03:32.62000:03:32.630 might take a hundred cycles it might 00:03:34.00000:03:34.010 take three hundred cycles but next thing 00:03:35.62000:03:35.630 you'll know you'll be seeing a bunch of 00:03:37.21000:03:37.220 hydrogen inside your base and you have 00:03:39.04000:03:39.050 no idea how you got there how it got 00:03:40.66000:03:40.670 there until you trace it back to this 00:03:42.72000:03:42.730 yeah this happens to everyone and so 00:03:45.61000:03:45.620 it's simply saying to do is we want to 00:03:47.05000:03:47.060 create a little automated system here to 00:03:48.55000:03:48.560 burn off the hydrogen when when the 00:03:51.16000:03:51.170 tanks fill up if both of these tanks are 00:03:52.54000:03:52.550 full then we want to start just burning 00:03:54.19000:03:54.200 stuff we don't want to be waiting around 00:03:55.75000:03:55.760 anymore so how do we do that here we 00:03:59.65000:03:59.660 have some very simple automation it's 00:04:02.47000:04:02.480 not too complicated we're basically 00:04:03.94000:04:03.950 taking this this tent here and just 00:04:07.18000:04:07.190 automating it slightly and the only 00:04:09.34000:04:09.350 automation sensor we've got is a gas 00:04:10.72000:04:10.730 element sensor but we're using a little 00:04:12.55000:04:12.560 bit of pipe overflow so let me cover 00:04:14.23000:04:14.240 this hopefully I can explain it in a way 00:04:16.21000:04:16.220 that's not too bad but first hydrogen 00:04:18.82000:04:18.830 generator hooked up to a battery smart 00:04:21.43000:04:21.440 battery smart battery just keeps it 00:04:22.87000:04:22.880 between six 00:04:23.47000:04:23.480 ninety percent and this is currently 00:04:25.06000:04:25.070 powering a couple of frigid fridges so 00:04:27.10000:04:27.110 we actually get a bit of power drain 00:04:28.27000:04:28.280 that where the hydrogen generator kicks 00:04:30.22000:04:30.230 in every so often just to give us a sort 00:04:32.62000:04:32.630 of a realistic idea of what it would 00:04:34.30000:04:34.310 look like over here we've got our 00:04:37.54000:04:37.550 hydrogen in come on we're gonna presume 00:04:39.19000:04:39.200 that from the electrolyzer setup so 00:04:41.35000:04:41.360 we'll just say we'll set that to about 00:04:42.55000:04:42.560 seventy five grams a second it's not 00:04:45.22000:04:45.230 going to be that high but that's what 00:04:46.42000:04:46.430 we're going to set it to now this goes 00:04:48.88000:04:48.890 across here it goes across the bridge 00:04:50.53000:04:50.540 and goes straight into these buffer 00:04:51.79000:04:51.800 tanks but what will happen is eventually 00:04:54.67000:04:54.680 you're gonna end up with too much 00:04:56.41000:04:56.420 hydrogen in these tanks and it's going 00:04:57.88000:04:57.890 to back up all the way up the pipe so 00:05:00.64000:05:00.650 we'll just skip forward a bit as this 00:05:02.02000:05:02.030 sort of builds up I want to kind of do 00:05:04.18000:05:04.190 this realistically I prefer practical 00:05:06.01000:05:06.020 examples as opposed to theoretical ones 00:05:07.63000:05:07.640 so you can see it just starts backing up 00:05:09.46000:05:09.470 and once it backs up to here it's gonna 00:05:11.17000:05:11.180 overflow down this pipe and when it does 00:05:13.48000:05:13.490 something special is going to happen you 00:05:14.74000:05:14.750 see this hydrogen generator down here 00:05:16.51000:05:16.520 it's pumping on and off occasionally but 00:05:18.46000:05:18.470 it's not actually pumping that much and 00:05:20.02000:05:20.030 here we go that hydrogen is now passed 00:05:23.14000:05:23.150 and hit this sensor this sensor is set 00:05:25.15000:05:25.160 to detect hydrogen and now we've got an 00:05:27.49000:05:27.500 automation signal going over here 00:05:28.81000:05:28.820 telling the hydrogen generator to turn 00:05:30.34000:05:30.350 on and now it stays on the hydrogen 00:05:33.31000:05:33.320 generator has kicked in and it won't 00:05:34.75000:05:34.760 shut off until that has escaped which 00:05:36.31000:05:36.320 okay it just did but this hydrogen can't 00:05:40.60000:05:40.610 escape from here until this hydrogen 00:05:42.79000:05:42.800 here is cleared because of the way a 00:05:43.99000:05:44.000 pipe mechanics work at this gas just 00:05:46.63000:05:46.640 trying to dump the hydrogen over here 00:05:47.71000:05:47.720 but it can't cross over here while this 00:05:49.78000:05:49.790 pipe is still full of hydrogen so until 00:05:53.53000:05:53.540 this pipe is empty this will just sit 00:05:55.57000:05:55.580 there so as you can see that hydrogen 00:05:57.43000:05:57.440 generator is just going crazy burning 00:05:59.41000:05:59.420 off hydrogen and it will keep doing that 00:06:00.91000:06:00.920 until this pipe is cleared once that's 00:06:03.25000:06:03.260 cleared this hydrogen can escape and now 00:06:05.56000:06:05.570 it shuts off this way so long as the 00:06:09.01000:06:09.020 amount of hydrogen you're putting in is 00:06:10.51000:06:10.520 less than the amount of hydrogen the 00:06:12.31000:06:12.320 hydrogen generator can burn per second 00:06:14.05000:06:14.060 this will never overflow it will always 00:06:16.45000:06:16.460 burn off the excess and this is this is 00:06:20.47000:06:20.480 the one thing that will kill you in the 00:06:22.00000:06:22.010 game late game or mid and late game more 00:06:24.16000:06:24.170 than being short or something normally 00:06:26.35000:06:26.360 you get around to fixing all your 00:06:27.55000:06:27.560 shortages 00:06:28.15000:06:28.160 well then surprise you is when something 00:06:30.46000:06:30.470 overflows or backs up that you didn't 00:06:32.32000:06:32.330 expect to have too much of polluted 00:06:34.57000:06:34.580 water clean water petroleum crude 00:06:37.17900:06:37.189 hydrogen all those elements you're 00:06:39.54900:06:39.559 moving around the place when they start 00:06:40.95900:06:40.969 you've got of bear in mind it at some 00:06:42.82000:06:42.830 point they're going to back up I made 00:06:45.27900:06:45.289 this nice and big so that you could see 00:06:46.98900:06:46.999 it in action but you can make them much 00:06:48.82000:06:48.830 smaller and more compact it's not not 00:06:50.97900:06:50.989 that difficult so we'll just have a 00:06:51.87900:06:51.889 quick run-through here of modifying this 00:06:53.49900:06:53.509 design to actually serve that functional 00:06:55.68900:06:55.699 now just destroy that's let's just do 00:06:59.97900:06:59.989 this did a simple way so that goes in 00:07:03.18900:07:03.199 there well I didn't need myself much 00:07:07.50900:07:07.519 room did I cuz I was a bit silly me will 00:07:11.55900:07:11.569 make it messy so it goes about there now 00:07:14.25900:07:14.269 I course I have to put in a sensor where 00:07:16.95900:07:16.969 exactly the sensor goes doesn't matter 00:07:18.60900:07:18.619 too much just so long as it's on the 00:07:19.86900:07:19.879 overflow pipe itself gas by filament 00:07:22.17900:07:22.189 sensor let's put it there great now I 00:07:25.17900:07:25.189 have to put it there not my smooth this 00:07:28.32900:07:28.339 job and then that blower here plug it to 00:07:32.70900:07:32.719 the generator and we'll just set that 00:07:34.44900:07:34.459 hydrogen boom and there we go 00:07:39.06900:07:39.079 once this tank backs up it'll back up to 00:07:41.91900:07:41.929 here and then this will overflow will 00:07:43.54000:07:43.550 happen it had probably be a better idea 00:07:45.66900:07:45.679 you can make these much more smaller and 00:07:47.40900:07:47.419 compact with a little bit of planning 00:07:48.73000:07:48.740 ahead for example mmm how about we just 00:07:52.29900:07:52.309 do it a slightly different way so that 00:07:54.24900:07:54.259 it doesn't look so god-awful ugly 00:07:57.74900:07:57.759 ventilation and this overflow can be go 00:08:01.95900:08:01.969 left right but it can also go through 00:08:03.54900:08:03.559 the middle here it this acts as an 00:08:06.18900:08:06.199 overflow even this way so you can do 00:08:08.43900:08:08.449 that bring it across to the side 00:08:11.12900:08:11.139 actually I better pull it just a little 00:08:14.04900:08:14.059 bit more and then we'll put in a bridge 00:08:15.85000:08:15.860 right there same effect and then we'll 00:08:19.65900:08:19.669 just stick an automation Center on as 00:08:22.35900:08:22.369 pipe elements into it and we'll put it 00:08:24.39900:08:24.409 as close as we can to this point we want 00:08:27.10000:08:27.110 to get it as close as we can to here 00:08:28.60000:08:28.610 it just cuts down on the amount of 00:08:30.90900:08:30.919 hydrogen you're gonna have backed up 00:08:32.45900:08:32.469 there copy settings jumper over that 00:08:39.37000:08:39.380 damn you delete that and then replace 00:08:43.10000:08:43.110 the wall oh yeah laughs enough okay and 00:08:50.03000:08:50.040 that's the same overflow system 00:08:51.35000:08:51.360 implemented right here this hydrogen can 00:08:53.36000:08:53.370 never back up anymore the moment too 00:08:56.09000:08:56.100 much hydrogen is in these tanks that 00:08:57.50000:08:57.510 system will automatically switch their 00:08:59.21000:08:59.220 hydrogen generator on and burn them off 00:09:00.85000:09:00.860 now I've on this map here it's a an old 00:09:04.49000:09:04.500 safe from an old game I was playing and 00:09:06.88000:09:06.890 if you'll notice I actually have the 00:09:09.89000:09:09.900 exact same system set up over here this 00:09:13.76000:09:13.770 is a useful thing to have in place and 00:09:15.56000:09:15.570 you will end up accumulating more 00:09:16.97000:09:16.980 hydrogen than you need a good thing to 00:09:19.49000:09:19.500 note about automation it's just one of 00:09:20.96000:09:20.970 those things that's insanely intuitive 00:09:23.06000:09:23.070 when you have say a smart battery hooked 00:09:26.18000:09:26.190 up actually I have to go back up to here 00:09:28.07000:09:28.080 when you have a smart battery hooked up 00:09:30.31000:09:30.320 the green over writes the red green 00:09:33.59000:09:33.600 signal over writes a red signal this 00:09:35.54000:09:35.550 took me a while to realize as well so 00:09:38.27000:09:38.280 when this is a mark battery here it goes 00:09:39.68000:09:39.690 below the required amount say this one 00:09:41.51000:09:41.520 here it goes below 60% it sends on an on 00:09:43.97000:09:43.980 signal that on signal will override any 00:09:46.82000:09:46.830 red signals that are on the wire so 00:09:48.89000:09:48.900 that's why when this detects if there's 00:09:50.60000:09:50.610 hydrogen it's in the green signal to 00:09:51.98000:09:51.990 turn on the hydrogen generator and no 00:09:53.48000:09:53.490 matter what the battery thinks the 00:09:54.77000:09:54.780 hydrogen generator turns on and 00:09:56.23000:09:56.240 vice-versa the battery doesn't care 00:09:57.92000:09:57.930 about what this sensor thinks it's just 00:09:59.66000:09:59.670 good to know that and that's probably 00:10:01.22000:10:01.230 the first piece of practical automation 00:10:02.90000:10:02.910 you're going to use and honestly most of 00:10:05.18000:10:05.190 the practical automation you use is 00:10:06.59000:10:06.600 going to be some variant on this it's 00:10:08.27000:10:08.280 either going to be a liquid overflow or 00:10:10.13000:10:10.140 a gas overflow the most common to the 00:10:12.59000:10:12.600 most practical and they're the most 00:10:13.67000:10:13.680 helpful even the biggest bases you 00:10:16.07000:10:16.080 imagine will probably will more than 00:10:17.57000:10:17.580 likely have a some older overflow 00:10:19.64000:10:19.650 automation built-in now the next step 00:10:22.22000:10:22.230 what I want to cover is oil oil 00:10:24.47000:10:24.480 processing is one of those things that 00:10:25.79000:10:25.800 mmm actually does this map have one done 00:10:28.85000:10:28.860 up oh no it's been removed already so 00:10:31.61000:10:31.620 let's pop over to another map 00:10:33.89000:10:33.900 right here what I'm trying to 00:10:36.12000:10:36.130 demonstrate is an system that uses 00:10:38.97000:10:38.980 pretty much the exact same mechanics 00:10:40.65000:10:40.660 just to do something slightly different 00:10:42.00000:10:42.010 and it's to do with the oil refineries 00:10:44.25000:10:44.260 all refineries there weren't those 00:10:46.44000:10:46.450 things that a lot of people waste a lot 00:10:48.15000:10:48.160 of duplicate time on the duplicated will 00:10:50.79000:10:50.800 come along start operating the medio 00:10:52.35000:10:52.360 refinery and once the pipe backs up all 00:10:55.17000:10:55.180 the way to the Machine well then they 00:10:57.54000:10:57.550 can't put any more oil but in the moment 00:10:59.79000:10:59.800 a little bit of oil is burned off then 00:11:01.44000:11:01.450 the duplicate comes back to operate it 00:11:02.85000:11:02.860 again so I just want to demonstrate a 00:11:04.14000:11:04.150 little bit of automation you can do to 00:11:05.67000:11:05.680 get around us now the automation is set 00:11:08.76000:11:08.770 up here in the middle one and then I've 00:11:09.84000:11:09.850 got these other two which we're using as 00:11:11.58000:11:11.590 a control you know this'll become 00:11:13.38000:11:13.390 clearer as we go along so all we have 00:11:16.35000:11:16.360 here is very similar system to petroleum 00:11:18.21000:11:18.220 is going to come out of here it's gonna 00:11:19.65000:11:19.660 try and go across and into these two 00:11:21.00000:11:21.010 tanks once these two tanks back up all 00:11:24.03000:11:24.040 the way then it's gonna overflow over 00:11:26.07000:11:26.080 this pipe go over here trip a sensor and 00:11:28.77000:11:28.780 then try an entrant enter on on this 00:11:30.69000:11:30.700 line that sensor it's tripping we're 00:11:33.63000:11:33.640 just throwing it to a nutcase not gates 00:11:35.49000:11:35.500 reverse signals so in this instance 00:11:37.11000:11:37.120 we're not trying to turn something on or 00:11:38.46000:11:38.470 should I turn something off so what will 00:11:42.36000:11:42.370 happen is once both of these tanks are 00:11:44.16000:11:44.170 full and all the petroleum is backed up 00:11:46.20000:11:46.210 to here it will turn off the oil 00:11:48.18000:11:48.190 refinery this stops the duplicate 00:11:51.12000:11:51.130 running over to keep topping up every 00:11:52.71000:11:52.720 time it's ten kilos short of a full pipe 00:11:54.86000:11:54.870 at that point it won't turn back on 00:11:58.05000:11:58.060 again until the pipe here is cleared and 00:12:00.15000:12:00.160 that pipe is positioned between these 00:12:02.43000:12:02.440 two oil reservoirs the reason for that 00:12:05.72000:12:05.730 we want to actually burn through the 00:12:08.13000:12:08.140 first tank of petroleum once this first 00:12:09.90000:12:09.910 tank of petroleum is burned through that 00:12:12.66000:12:12.670 will clear this pipe segment and this 00:12:14.85000:12:14.860 petroleum here can escape telling the 00:12:17.16000:12:17.170 sensor turn the oil reservoir oil 00:12:19.62000:12:19.630 refinery back on at which point this 00:12:22.77000:12:22.780 tank will be empty this tank will still 00:12:24.33000:12:24.340 be full and then the oil refinery will 00:12:26.25000:12:26.260 start working again this means there 00:12:27.96000:12:27.970 duplicate Tony comes along once starts 00:12:30.15000:12:30.160 the process and doesn't stop until the 00:12:31.98000:12:31.990 tank is full in these instances the 00:12:34.74000:12:34.750 duplicate is going to come along and 00:12:36.12000:12:36.130 keep having to run back and forth but to 00:12:38.28000:12:38.290 demonstrate this I've cued up a whole 00:12:39.81000:12:39.820 bunch of TIG commands 00:12:42.04000:12:42.050 but before we start you have to hook up 00:12:43.44900:12:43.459 some sort of power drain here and all 00:12:46.92900:12:46.939 fairness I haven't actually tested this 00:12:48.63900:12:48.649 ahead of ahead of time so let's just see 00:12:52.03000:12:52.040 how this experiment plays out shall we 00:12:53.55900:12:53.569 okay so all the petroleum generators 00:12:55.78000:12:55.790 kick in the power settings so all the 00:12:57.75900:12:57.769 power settings and all the B's is set to 00:12:58.96000:12:58.970 the exact same so it'll all burn the 00:13:00.91000:13:00.920 exact same amount of petroleum so you 00:13:03.75900:13:03.769 can see the petroleum is moving off oh 00:13:05.42900:13:05.439 one thing I also forgot to do is set 00:13:07.84000:13:07.850 priorities I want to set everyone's 00:13:09.42900:13:09.439 priority so that they're tinkering or 00:13:11.55900:13:11.569 their operation is up by one so they're 00:13:13.62900:13:13.639 going to prioritize getting that oil 00:13:15.03900:13:15.049 refinery running ok so then they're 00:13:20.47000:13:20.480 going to run back every so often and 00:13:21.91000:13:21.920 you'll see these two here keep running 00:13:23.73900:13:23.749 back to top up the oil refinery yep good 00:13:28.03000:13:28.040 like a type of smart and if we had a 00:13:30.97000:13:30.980 higher power drain this would probably 00:13:32.47000:13:32.480 be more apparent so let's show on a few 00:13:34.62900:13:34.639 more and you know it's this Duke look 00:13:39.10000:13:39.110 into all of these duplicants I've picked 00:13:40.50900:13:40.519 them to make sure that they all have the 00:13:41.97900:13:41.989 exact same takes killed the exact same 00:13:44.18900:13:44.199 everything's killed there's no 00:13:45.75900:13:45.769 differences between any of them well 00:13:47.12900:13:47.139 some of them have a few skills here like 00:13:50.07900:13:50.089 this duplicant as your - a little 00:13:51.75900:13:51.769 country - destructive they've got tidy 00:13:53.31900:13:53.329 and supply but none of them have bonuses 00:13:54.93900:13:54.949 to ticking none of them have bonuses to 00:13:56.53000:13:56.540 movement none of them has bonuses to 00:13:59.04900:13:59.059 anything that would affect like a night 00:14:00.22000:14:00.230 owl bonus or a Dave whatever bonus none 00:14:02.61900:14:02.629 of them have any of those bonuses so 00:14:04.66000:14:04.670 they dig at the same speed they move at 00:14:06.24900:14:06.259 the same speed and they tinker at the 00:14:07.62900:14:07.639 same speed as you'll notice these tips 00:14:10.21000:14:10.220 keep running back and forth every so 00:14:11.49900:14:11.509 often to turn this on and this is going 00:14:13.15000:14:13.160 to get worse and worse the further 00:14:14.61900:14:14.629 they're get away from these oh yes also 00:14:17.71000:14:17.720 because I'm Harlow human being I've 00:14:19.21000:14:19.220 gotten rid of all their downtime so 00:14:21.00900:14:21.019 they'll keep working way way way too 00:14:23.01900:14:23.029 long it's unfortunate but that's just 00:14:25.80900:14:25.819 the way it is just to show exactly it 00:14:27.69900:14:27.709 isn't notice this duplicate here is 00:14:29.13900:14:29.149 going along just fine because they have 00:14:30.87900:14:30.889 no need to go back and top this up until 00:14:33.34000:14:33.350 this first tank is emptied they're not 00:14:34.80900:14:34.819 going to go near it if those duplicants 00:14:36.69900:14:36.709 just keep running back and forth pretty 00:14:38.71000:14:38.720 much every time 00:14:41.61000:14:41.620 this one piece of automation will save 00:14:43.98000:14:43.990 you an enormous amount of time you 00:14:45.96000:14:45.970 really only need one other refinery to 00:14:47.51900:14:47.529 refine oil and you're only going to do 00:14:48.75000:14:48.760 it for a while while depending on your 00:14:50.97000:14:50.980 situation just install this little bit 00:14:54.54000:14:54.550 of basic automation and you will save 00:14:56.25000:14:56.260 yourself a ton of waste of duplicate 00:14:58.35000:14:58.360 labor just see now they're actually 00:15:01.65000:15:01.660 doing some real work because while they 00:15:03.03000:15:03.040 were sleeping there was a decent draw on 00:15:04.38000:15:04.390 the line or a decent amount of petroleum 00:15:06.09000:15:06.100 was burnt off but now that that stopped 00:15:08.07000:15:08.080 they're back to going back and forth now 00:15:11.07000:15:11.080 one relevant criticism you're going to 00:15:14.49000:15:14.500 have is well dis to placate is doing 00:15:16.26000:15:16.270 nothing because they're living off this 00:15:17.43000:15:17.440 entire reserve tank yes but it's very 00:15:19.41000:15:19.420 true this duplicate is basically doing 00:15:21.45000:15:21.460 nothing to do with that because it's 00:15:23.01000:15:23.020 surviving on the reserve tank that's 00:15:25.23000:15:25.240 fine however when it does come back that 00:15:28.26000:15:28.270 duplicate which is work away at that 00:15:29.55000:15:29.560 system constantly so they'll only have 00:15:31.17000:15:31.180 one trip back to the refinery and 00:15:32.61000:15:32.620 they'll stay there until it's done these 00:15:34.38000:15:34.390 duplicates how much time if they wasted 00:15:35.85000:15:35.860 running back and forth how much it's 00:15:38.16000:15:38.170 like over might want I'll run back over 00:15:40.59000:15:40.600 a mine once I'll run back and that's it 00:15:42.99000:15:43.000 again and again and again and that's all 00:15:45.00000:15:45.010 it's going to be for eternity so I'll 00:15:48.30000:15:48.310 just go over this automation one more 00:15:49.65000:15:49.660 time so you can get a look at it and 00:15:50.70000:15:50.710 then I'll just sort of fast-forward it 00:15:51.99000:15:52.000 and show you what happens when the 00:15:53.25000:15:53.260 system kind of resets 00:15:57.42000:15:57.430 petroleum comes along here goes across 00:15:59.31000:15:59.320 fills this tank once both of the tanks 00:16:01.86000:16:01.870 are full it backs up and it will 00:16:03.57000:16:03.580 overflow this line and pop over here now 00:16:06.93000:16:06.940 how you can figure these pipes you just 00:16:08.97000:16:08.980 have to make sure that the overflows are 00:16:10.35000:16:10.360 going to kick in at the right spots you 00:16:12.18000:16:12.190 can configure this many different ways 00:16:13.82900:16:13.839 or put the pipes like two different 00:16:15.99000:16:16.000 locations of course but once the 00:16:18.18000:16:18.190 petroleum triggers this sensor that 00:16:20.37000:16:20.380 sensor goes well mother's petroleum 00:16:22.14000:16:22.150 there so it sends it a green signal the 00:16:24.12000:16:24.130 green signal goes into a not gate to 00:16:25.68000:16:25.690 turn it to an off signal or red signal 00:16:27.27000:16:27.280 and that reg sitting ceiling turns off 00:16:28.80000:16:28.810 this boiler finery now let's do a little 00:16:31.55000:16:31.560 deconstruction here and it's replaced 00:16:34.11000:16:34.120 that tank like so and now what we can do 00:16:38.13000:16:38.140 is watch as this petroleum line starts 00:16:40.35000:16:40.360 to tear which will happen reasonably 00:16:43.14000:16:43.150 quickly 00:16:44.54000:16:44.550 now let's go check the automation and we 00:16:47.07000:16:47.080 can't see both at the same time okay 00:16:48.60000:16:48.610 this petroleum you can see it it's 00:16:49.62000:16:49.630 almost gone oh it's that tip we can 00:16:52.71000:16:52.720 finish oh my god that we can't actually 00:16:54.24000:16:54.250 finished all the digging and automation 00:17:09.93000:17:09.940 why is where we at why'd you turn that 00:17:13.62000:17:13.630 back on again yes the petroleum has 00:17:16.43900:17:16.449 cleared the line so now petroleum is 00:17:19.86000:17:19.870 flowing again and this duplicate is just 00:17:21.27000:17:21.280 going to sit there and keep filling that 00:17:22.65000:17:22.660 pipe until it's completely full well 00:17:25.38000:17:25.390 keep thinking the tank into us can be 00:17:26.79000:17:26.800 people that will take a little time what 00:17:28.83000:17:28.840 I'm gonna do is fast-forward this dough 00:17:30.06000:17:30.070 just so you can see just how effective 00:17:31.50000:17:31.510 it is and why did the duplicant go over 00:17:33.42000:17:33.430 there oh they're trying to get to dry 00:17:34.89000:17:34.900 land or somewhere that's not so horrible 00:17:39.05000:17:39.060 anyway I'll fast forward this a bit and 00:17:41.37000:17:41.380 we'll come back in when this is about 00:17:42.66000:17:42.670 ready to or when the duplicate is almost 00:17:44.40000:17:44.410 finished here just to see how how it 00:17:46.38000:17:46.390 plays out I mean we delete it about four 00:17:47.97000:17:47.980 tons of oil their replacement duplicants 00:17:52.23000:17:52.240 acquired let's let them run on and see 00:17:55.38000:17:55.390 what happens I also made sure they all 00:17:56.61000:17:56.620 had roughly equivalent stats oh that 00:17:59.55000:17:59.560 reminds me priorities let's make sure 00:18:01.23000:18:01.240 everyone's an operation and let's make 00:18:03.48000:18:03.490 sure everyone can actually dig a Bissel 00:18:05.16000:18:05.170 ice because that would be a good 00:18:12.10000:18:12.110 yeah there we go and then we'll just let 00:18:14.76900:18:14.779 that run on a bitch they'll get a bit 00:18:16.14900:18:16.159 stressed who cares why is that why did 00:18:20.40900:18:20.419 that duplicate stop one moment so a 00:18:27.19000:18:27.200 minor thing to notice that I completely 00:18:29.32000:18:29.330 forgot about when duplicates are using 00:18:31.24000:18:31.250 this if if the old refinery over 00:18:34.29900:18:34.309 pressurizes it stops working that's five 00:18:36.49000:18:36.500 kilos of pressure so if there's five 00:18:37.93000:18:37.940 kilos of pressure and the output for the 00:18:39.73000:18:39.740 natural gas it stopped burning that's 00:18:42.97000:18:42.980 the problem I was in cantering anyway as 00:18:46.36000:18:46.370 you can see here digging why is this 00:18:48.58000:18:48.590 duplicate is still miles ahead because 00:18:50.23000:18:50.240 they spend less time running back and 00:18:52.41900:18:52.429 forth and more time actually doing a job 00:18:53.91900:18:53.929 even with the over pressurization 00:18:55.24000:18:55.250 problem that was kicking in these 00:18:57.37000:18:57.380 duplicates just sort of constantly keep 00:18:59.11000:18:59.120 these all topped up and that's bad 00:19:00.99000:19:01.000 implement this little bit of automation 00:19:02.88900:19:02.899 it will save you a ton of time I believe 00:19:05.08000:19:05.090 this is referred to as a memory circus 00:19:06.81000:19:06.820 you're basically keeping your memorizing 00:19:10.18000:19:10.190 what has happened last and then 00:19:12.18000:19:12.190 implementing an action based upon us or 00:19:14.25900:19:14.269 turning a machine on based upon us and 00:19:16.12000:19:16.130 you see that tip against just gonna stay 00:19:17.32000:19:17.330 there and keep working that machine 00:19:18.31000:19:18.320 until it's full 00:19:19.26900:19:19.279 once damnit over-pressurized again and 00:19:21.85000:19:21.860 when once it's full they'll stop and let 00:19:24.78900:19:24.799 go again so that's a memory circus now 00:19:29.25900:19:29.269 let's look at a slightly different 00:19:30.19000:19:30.200 variation of it that you can do to store 00:19:32.28900:19:32.299 petroleum if you want so in this 00:19:36.12900:19:36.139 particular example I've had some 00:19:37.57000:19:37.580 practical automation we won't actually 00:19:39.58000:19:39.590 just use the tank to store a petroleum 00:19:41.25900:19:41.269 now we want to do something similar you 00:19:43.06000:19:43.070 want to fill the tank up until it hits 00:19:44.50000:19:44.510 at this point and then once the tank is 00:19:46.53900:19:46.549 full we want to turn off the oil 00:19:48.15900:19:48.169 refinery and leave it off until the 00:19:50.25900:19:50.269 petroleum drops to this level that way 00:19:53.16900:19:53.179 we keep a nice buffer of petroleum here 00:19:55.18000:19:55.190 and then when it drops that low then the 00:19:56.52900:19:56.539 duplicate comes back and starts up 00:19:57.73000:19:57.740 operating it again this one actually 00:20:00.70000:20:00.710 uses a memory toggle memory toggles 00:20:03.31000:20:03.320 there basically what we've been building 00:20:04.75000:20:04.760 but we've been building them using gas 00:20:07.33000:20:07.340 and water overflow mechanics now we'll 00:20:10.87000:20:10.880 just stick a memory toggle there and 00:20:12.39900:20:12.409 stick in and not getting you did not get 00:20:13.99000:20:14.000 to use with these took me a while to 00:20:15.37000:20:15.380 remember that but yes not get definitely 00:20:17.35000:20:17.360 required 00:20:18.68000:20:18.690 so when this detects that the petroleum 00:20:22.07000:20:22.080 is too low it wasn't a reset signal the 00:20:24.68000:20:24.690 reset signal mmm I can explain the reset 00:20:27.16900:20:27.179 signal actually it's simpler just to 00:20:30.25900:20:30.269 demonstrate this we'll put it up to 00:20:33.04900:20:33.059 there okay Automation wise so right now 00:20:37.48900:20:37.499 this is on sending an on signal because 00:20:40.31000:20:40.320 this is detecting that there is less 00:20:41.86900:20:41.879 than 500 kilos of petroleum in here 00:20:43.63900:20:43.649 because there's less than 500 K years of 00:20:45.64900:20:45.659 petroleum it sends a reset signal and 00:20:47.47900:20:47.489 that reset signal turns this wire you 00:20:51.34900:20:51.359 can see it here actually green signal 00:20:52.99900:20:53.009 resets the internal memory to red and 00:20:54.76900:20:54.779 this output basically gets reset to red 00:20:56.71900:20:56.729 doesn't matter what this input is doing 00:20:58.78900:20:58.799 if this sends in a green signal the 00:21:01.43000:21:01.440 output gets switched to red 00:21:02.65900:21:02.669 of course we're showing it into a not 00:21:04.75900:21:04.769 get to turn that on and this one here if 00:21:07.46000:21:07.470 a green signal goes to this it actually 00:21:09.58900:21:09.599 sets the internal memory to green if you 00:21:11.45000:21:11.460 send a green signal in this input port 00:21:13.09900:21:13.109 it will cause this to output a green 00:21:15.13900:21:15.149 signal unless the reset signal is 00:21:17.69000:21:17.700 already active that's all that's 00:21:19.60900:21:19.619 happening there and let's just throw in 00:21:22.58000:21:22.590 some petroleum here actually sampled 00:21:25.90900:21:25.919 there we go and let's show and some 00:21:29.83900:21:29.849 petroleum to a bad level there yeah a 00:21:31.66900:21:31.679 notice still the green signal coming out 00:21:33.51900:21:33.529 now we'll fill it up to there and it's 00:21:37.58000:21:37.590 turned off 00:21:38.21000:21:38.220 the reason it's turned off is this has 00:21:40.46000:21:40.470 detected that there's more than 500 00:21:41.93000:21:41.940 kilos that's gone down here and sent a 00:21:44.33000:21:44.340 green signal at which we've converted to 00:21:45.85900:21:45.869 an off so now duplicants can't operate 00:21:48.13900:21:48.149 the oil refinery and we've got a nice 00:21:50.23900:21:50.249 big buffer tank to work with now let's 00:21:53.41900:21:53.429 drain some of the petroleum at and 00:21:56.29900:21:56.309 you'll notice still off even though all 00:21:58.78900:21:58.799 these things have changed this is switch 00:22:00.20000:22:00.210 to red it hasn't made a difference still 00:22:03.16900:22:03.179 going to keep outputting the same red 00:22:04.94000:22:04.950 signal and then we'll go down some more 00:22:06.58000:22:06.590 still the same and then if we go down 00:22:09.28900:22:09.299 below the required level boom turns back 00:22:12.85900:22:12.869 on again fill it up one more time just 00:22:15.56000:22:15.570 to cover that even when we put it up to 00:22:18.10900:22:18.119 this level still stays on it won't turn 00:22:22.90900:22:22.919 off until the automation center right 00:22:26.14900:22:26.159 there detects how much Petroleum's in 00:22:27.49900:22:27.509 the tank which is about there and then 00:22:29.29900:22:29.309 it stops running 00:22:30.74000:22:30.750 though I think when that evens out it 00:22:31.90900:22:31.919 might end up a little bit it might not 00:22:33.86000:22:33.870 end up with the full amount yeah yeah 00:22:36.28900:22:36.299 the patchouli I'm starting to move but 00:22:38.33000:22:38.340 that there is an actual memory circus in 00:22:40.39900:22:40.409 action it basically does the exact same 00:22:43.88000:22:43.890 thing as this only you can determine the 00:22:46.22000:22:46.230 size of the petroleum tank to your 00:22:47.65900:22:47.669 heart's content those most of the 00:22:51.79900:22:51.809 automation you're going to be doing by 00:22:53.29900:22:53.309 mid to late game is going to all revolve 00:22:55.31000:22:55.320 around keeping a certain amount of 00:22:56.81000:22:56.820 materials or burning off excess or 00:22:59.02000:22:59.030 telling stuff to go somewhere when you 00:23:00.95000:23:00.960 don't need it you have too much polluted 00:23:02.69000:23:02.700 water instead of letting your tank 00:23:04.19000:23:04.200 overflow you dump that polluted water in 00:23:06.28900:23:06.299 to read fiber or maybe dump it into 00:23:08.65900:23:08.669 space you have too much carbon dioxide 00:23:10.19000:23:10.200 flowing down into your oil biome to 00:23:12.28900:23:12.299 figure slicksters and your strictures 00:23:13.54900:23:13.559 and consuming it fast enough then you'll 00:23:15.68000:23:15.690 simply use say the overflow mechanic on 00:23:17.81000:23:17.820 this instead of sending it it's sending 00:23:20.09000:23:20.100 into the slicksters the overflow will 00:23:21.64900:23:21.659 get sent up to space or maybe us in the 00:23:23.69000:23:23.700 co2 into something else depending on 00:23:25.15900:23:25.169 what you're using it for overflow 00:23:28.25000:23:28.260 mechanics very very important and the 00:23:30.40900:23:30.419 automation to go with them 00:23:31.58000:23:31.590 and these the three automations have 00:23:34.52000:23:34.530 shown you they're pretty much what I use 00:23:36.14000:23:36.150 to cover all the types of automation 00:23:38.96000:23:38.970 problems I encounter or overflow 00:23:40.93000:23:40.940 problems they encounter and smart 00:23:43.61000:23:43.620 batteries of course yes they're 00:23:45.04900:23:45.059 constantly in use but I didn't really 00:23:46.61000:23:46.620 cover those there 00:23:47.60000:23:47.610 I think everyone's got those already if 00:23:49.39900:23:49.409 you're looking at this you should 00:23:50.60000:23:50.610 probably have a smart batteries down 00:23:51.98000:23:51.990 already anyway I think we'll cut this 00:23:54.52900:23:54.539 edge here I think we covered all the 00:23:57.20000:23:57.210 main stuff to do with automation I hope 00:23:59.14900:23:59.159 you enjoy it or at least learn something 00:24:00.77000:24:00.780 useful and good luck
