I ran into the issue of having too many ores coming in for one furnace per ore to handle. It doesn't have to be a perfectly even split, but just a way to lessen the load of the main smelter.

Yeah, the money/wood video. It should be in the play list. There is an item splitter in there that will work or keep things from overloading if you have a steady supply of ore.
@@DarkxGaming352 Thank you very much! I actually just came back to edit my comment, because I watched the wood farm video, just to see that you've already answered to my comment. I didn't expect to see such an elegant splitter in the wood farm video. This will solve all my problems.
I’ve seen some information about using things like tables to split stacks - can you touch on that in a video? The T3 ores take longer to smelt and if I can split those across multiple fury forges I’d love to be able to do so.
Could u make a video about whether farming Nodes in a regular play through is even worth the time investment I barely did any, would it have been worth it to make an entire electric train system for nodes ??
17:24 Say you put 100 copper, 300 tin, and 400 iron ore into the system (in that order), then go and explore for the next ~12 minutes. The 1st furnace will be empty, the 2nd furnace will still have 240 tin ore remaining, and the 3rd furnace will have 358 iron ore remaining. If you then put MORE copper and tin into the system, copper ore COULD come out the system un-smelted. If tin enters the system first, it will go into the 1st furnace, not the 2nd, causing all furnaces to be occupied (tin, tin, iron) and leaving no space for copper.
I didnt put chapters because i did want people to skip over things. The video is really designed to watch from beginning to end as there is allot of information that feeds of the section before.
@@DarkxGaming352Honestly, I get that. The video does work really well when you watch it from beginning to end.

If you double tick with power extenders, the drills can break the tiles in front. Just want to warn those who are planning on using it. It seems to be worse the further out you go and the closer you are to the extender itself. This is just what my testing has been able to find
Join the discord i would like to see this design. Power extenders should just be repeating a signal. they should not add or delay the signal in anyway.
thank you for the video and this video really helped my corekeeper life. im a lazy person, so i dont use sorting system because i have to take needed items to workbench for making. i noticed that when you place workbench near chests, I dont have to take items to workbenches{it just automatically takes items needed and make item). do you have any idea that combines sorting system and placing workbenches with item chest? my best was separate wood farm and your smelting system, collect items to two chests. then i go to smelting chest, and resorting items because i copied your idea that puts the chest front of home waypoint.
I have a separate crafting station. So my first main chest coming in has all the crafting materials then ill remove everything but one when i am out of that crafting materials and move it to the crafting chest that is surrounded by the work benches.
I would love to do one. But it would just be auto harvesting. i don't know of a way to plant items in the game. A auto cooker takes allot of room and logic to set up. Ive seen them but i have not got around to make one for my self.
I guess I must be worse than a child, then, because this was a lot of complicated explanations about logic gates and backfeeds in various different forms, and very little of the explanation I needed for a single early-game set-up that anyone can copy to just pull some ore from a drill into a chest using those automated arm cranes. I'm sure the tech-savvy & the experimenters out there, with a dozen mob & ore farms, will find all of this fascinating, but for a newbie like me? It just makes my head hurt. It makes me want to steer clear of all the tech in the game, despite conveniences, if this is what's considered "so easy even children get it". A list of materials. How to lay them down step by step around a boulder or around a mob farm so that the arms will pick up the goods & transport them to a safe area. If I'm in the wrong video for that, then I apologize & you can ignore me.
Supposing you drill out a boulder, or are away from your base for awhile. What stops the arms from grabbing your chest filler (dirt, etc. to filter items) and passing it down the line to the end? A switch
Nevermind I understand. So arms never grab from chests, instead items that overflow never enter chest, and drill moves them down the line to next arm. I imagine you'd need a lot of food for all that running between separated chests if your sorted items What things do you typically sort? How would non ores get on your ore conveyor?
I sort everything i want to keep. and use the rest as a surge system so stuff doesn't end up on the ground. Mostly sort All crafting intendents into the first chest. all blocks and spawners in the next. then all food ingredient in the next. fish after that. automation stuff and building materials also have there own. Its really how much stuff you want to hord. I live designing and decorating my base so i keep everything.
@@DarkxGaming352 thankyou! following this guide, how do you expand your sorting system without it being just a super long series of chest? do you loop it back? I tried that but I dont like the feeling of having to cross conveyor belts or have I missed something?
I'm like 10s into the video but guessing the new pulse system isn't on display here? Just two logic gates no delay needed. It does something to the timing and pulses a bit faster without ever activating the damage on drill outputs.
ok it is a turbo circuit(a quarter second delay), I use two logics but instead of a full second delay it is only a half second delay. You can stand in front of a drill to find out if it will break anything. If it damages more than once per 2s it will eventually break the item.
lol did you see the hyper sorter? look at the drills. Its pulsing about 100x a second. and take a really close look at the items on the belt. They are just teleporting across. I really wish i could of put it on a turret lol. Pew pew. wait i mean BRRRRRRR.
@@DarkxGaming352 yeah it looks that way to us, and I had joined the server to talk about it. I can tell it's doing like 2s to 1s to half a second, but I didn't quite understand it either. I saw a post on your discord from Arisa and the video they linked has explained everything.
I'd like to see some setups for auto wood farms feeding into sawmills with systems to handle overflows of wood (more wood then the sawmills can handle). I have tested some single feed line setups but always find that a massive amount to wood just cycles in the first few sawmills and/or flows out. I have been avoiding sawmill chains because stacks of wood just kind of sit in the first few sawmills because of the 10 second crafting timer for planks.
funny enough ive been working on that today and ive found out that its much simpler to have 10 seeds to 1 saw because of timers and growth restrictions. my quick maths made me think that with a seed growing as fast as possible 1 saw could keep up with 12 seeds or 18 at its slowest but then you run into the growth limit of 5 tiles so i settled on 10 as acceptable. As for the stacks of items in crafters you can make a system then divides them into 1 and then sends then to any crafter but as the game is now the only option for that is saws and furnaces to make t2 and t3 furnaces run at t1 speed but i think he was saying to add sawmills to the stack pre auto sorter so that any spare wood you get is converted
for me I do make it like 50/50, so if I have 6 wood farm output, the 3 for normal wood go straight into chest while the other 3 gonna go to the sawmill then into the chest, make it balance and it works for me
The next video will have a wood farm with a simple splitter system. So stay tuned :). i am hoping to have it released before i leave for a family trip.
Do you actually even need the drills for the sorter? Can arms not just place the items in the chest without the next arm grabbing it? Edit: Just kidding, I tested it and immediately found out why lmao. Arms will just take everything out of the chest and move it :P
I have two large chests and two arms moving a single block of dirt forever, a whole complicated delay circuit that makes it only move once every 10 seconds. Because I accidentally did that and said ya know what, I built you guys to move stuff, and this is your purpose now. It's a monument to my failure in common sense lol.
Just saw your edit. But yeah an arm into a chest and out of a chest is very different. It's actually very useful tho. Cause you can instantly move items in arm chains using double chests when you understand how it works. Sometimes it's handy as a trick to change the directions of arms in tight spaces. Especially since you can use a double chest.
Lol . This one is remastered. I wanted to do a simple update video.. but I felt like I would be doing a disservice to people new to the core keeper. This one is more in-depth and includes things the first guide did not.
I do think this is all super cool, but I genuinely don't understand why automation even really exists for any of the game. It feels like setting up the automation for almost everything is just not worth the time investment. I think the only automation I found useful in the entire game ended up being wood/plank automation. Sort my inventory? Just run up to chests, press q and move along. Setting up some sort of auto-sorter sounds nice until you consider how much random stuff the game throws at you constantly which means you've got a fairly long sorter chain set up. You step outside for two minutes and your entire inventory fills up and since equipment doesn't stack (except bait?) the chests are going to fill up pretty quickly, or you're running to salvage all the equipment, and then running back to sort it anyway. That being said, the auto-inventory sorter is probably the most appealing out of all of this because my god this game showers you with so much stuff, constantly. Mob farms taking what feels like an eternity to spawn any enemies because of the 16-22 minute timer for spawn events and then having them only work within a 200 tile radius means that they're almost never actually running, or I'm setting up multiple mob farms all over the entire map. The only benefit is honestly that I'm just AFK or tabbed out doing something else for hours on end which again, seems kind of pointless. If mob farms didn't have the forever long spawn timer, it would make sense to me. Ore smelting automation could make sense if boulders were infinite, I guess? Considering you can just walk up to a smelter and deposit a stack of like 10,000 ores into a smelter, or dump them all in a nearby chest and just ctrl+click whatever bar you're working on in the smelter, I just don't see it being useful for the resource and time investment needed to set them up. Automatic wood and plank production felt like basically the only thing that actually made sense in this game, but the need for wood outside from base building materials is pretty scarce. It feels like anything that could actually benefit from automation is blocked by either an in-game timer, maximum proximity, or just not being able to be automated, like plant farming or fishing. The only time I ever ended up using a mob farm was to get one of each of the 3 gemstones. After that it seemed pointless because I could just go kill any of the three hydra bosses for two of the desired gemstones afterwards. Considering those are a 100% drop rate for 2 of them, on essentially a 6 minute CD it immediately rendered my mob farm obsolete.
Around 14:20 - one problem with having the drill butt right up against the arm is that if the drill is ever able to pull an item as far as it can pull it, it will actually get into the base of the arm where it cannot grab it. I don't think this is likely to happen with normal operation, but it's worth mentioning.
I'm not sure why people keep using the advanced drills instead of the simple ones for stuff like this. They work the same for sorting as far as I can tell and are much cheaper.
@@DarkxGaming352 That reads perfectly now! You must be a crazily kind person still reacting so calm and even apologizing while it was me complaining in such a harsh and provocative way. We definitely need more people to take a leaf out of your book to make the internet a better place, including me obviously...

Automatic wood and plank production felt like basically the only thing that actually made sense in this game, but the need for wood outside from base building materials is pretty scarce.
It feels like anything that could actually benefit from automation is blocked by either an in-game timer, maximum proximity, or just not being able to be automated, like plant farming or fishing.
The only time I ever ended up using a mob farm was to get one of each of the 3 gemstones. After that it seemed pointless because I could just go kill any of the three hydra bosses for two of the desired gemstones afterwards. Considering those are a 100% drop rate for 2 of them, on essentially a 6 minute CD it immediately rendered my mob farm obsolete.
Around 14:20 - one problem with having the drill butt right up against the arm is that if the drill is ever able to pull an item as far as it can pull it, it will actually get into the base of the arm where it cannot grab it. I don't think this is likely to happen with normal operation, but it's worth mentioning.
Okay yeah you encountered this a little further in the video, so you are aware already!
Thank you for pointing it out. I hope will pick the design that best works for them. I like the open space design personally.
I'm not sure why people keep using the advanced drills instead of the simple ones for stuff like this. They work the same for sorting as far as I can tell and are much cheaper.
100 percent correct
"would of" is incorrect. "Would Have" is what you should have (should of? :) written
I changed it loI. Thanks for pointing it out.
the mistake usually stems from people wanting to write would've which is pronounced the same way
"... would OF found..."
what is that even supposed to mean?
Time stamp ?

@@rotkehlchen2920 Thank you, I adjusted the title. Writing or reading is a daily struggle for me.
@@DarkxGaming352 That reads perfectly now!
You must be a crazily kind person still reacting so calm and even apologizing while it was me complaining in such a harsh and provocative way. We definitely need more people to take a leaf out of your book to make the internet a better place, including me obviously...
I still think automating in this game is pointless. IF they just released one quality of life update similar to grounded then all of this is blah.
