Automated Artillery Outposting

Anonymous

OUTDATED. New version here: This is a thingy I designed to remotely build and deconstruct artillery outposts to clear bugs. The whole process can be done from the comfort of home with the help of Spidertron. Basically Spidertron goes and builds the skeleton station with some solar panels to boot it up. The builder train is pre-loaded with (customizable loadout) all the supplies needed to finish the outpost, and comes as soon as it is built. It unloads a tank full of steam into the turbine, which fully powers the outpost, and unloads construction bots and all the materials needed for the blueprint. Once it is built you can activate the artillery station from map view (Copy and paste the constant combinators attached to the stations: "G" for ON and blank for OFF), and after the area is cleared you can deconstruct the entire outpost, pack everything onto the clean-up train, and then Spidey comes and picks up the skeleton station materials. She can then move on up the track and build a new one further out. Repeat until victory! (Or until Spidey needs to come home for more train tracks/unload garbage) The BP book includes this temporary outpost, plus a permanent version with supply train logistics for building and supplying new mines. Also includes loading stations for Builder, Supply, Artillery and Deconstruction train, and deconstruction planners in 4 steps for unbuilding the temporary stations.
