Is there any way to have an autonaut that supplies tools to another autonaut?
its complicated
1.build 2 wood saws
2. have a autonaut shredding logs into planks in 1 saw ( make sure you have a big auto forest for this)
3. have another autonaut place the planks in 1 storage unit
4.have another autonaut shred planks from the planks storage into poles in the other wood saw
5.have another autonaut place the poles into another storage unit
6.have 4 work benches
7. set each work bench to a different tool-axe, shovel, hoe, pick axe
8.have 2 chests just for tools materials-poles and planks
9.have 2 autonauts refill those chests-teach them to take out planks and and poles from the chests from step 3 and 5 and put them into the tool materials chests. 1 chest is planks the other is poles.
if your still here and not wondering what the heck am I talking about, this is the part when we build tools and resupply them.
10. for each of the 4 work benches. have 1 autonaut put planks in the workbench and another autonaut put poles in the workbench. this has to be done the each of the 4 work benches
you should have 1 workbench making axes, another making shovels, etc
11.make 2 storages unites near a auto forest. 1 near auto mine, etc
12.have 1 autonaut put axes in 1 storage unit, another autonaut put shovels in the other chest.
13. THANK GOD THE LAST STEP IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR WITHOUT PASSING OUT YOU ARE A LEGEND. HERE WE GO. lol I have to do this in steps to. what to teach axe autonaut: 1. get a axe from axe storage 2. chop down a tree. 3 repeat go. then basicly the same with miners and diggers. except the miners get a pick then mine, and diggers get a shovel and dig. good luck ur gonna need it
TO THE DEVS-IM SORRY FROM TAKING UP PROBLABLY HALF THE PAGE
Unfortunatelly my bots won't repeat if I tell them to take out the axe and chop a tree down to automate supplying tools, he will get the axe out of the storage but won't do anything else and just stay there. Same with telling a bot to pick up an axe from the workbench and put it in the storage, he just pick it up and stay there.
Make one bot do this:
Find nearest plank, Move to plank, Pick up plank, Move to basic workbench, Add to basic workbench, Find nearest pole, Move to Pick up pole, Move to basic workbench, Add to basic workbench, Find nearest wooden axe, Move to wooden axe, Pick up wooden axe, Find nearest crude workerbot (Idle), Move to crude workerbot, Drop all
Make another bot making planks and poles only when he can find an idle workerbot.
And for your tree cutter, make him cut trees until hands empty, then
Find nearest wooden axe, Move to wooden axe, Pick up wooden axe
Then add a repeat thing for the whole command and set it to forever.
heh, Katherine of sky had a nice setup I saw. have a worker bot making the tools. for them, they go to plank, grab plank, Q to stow it, then go to sticks, grab stick then go put the stick in the tool bench, then , or. (comma or period) to cycle item from inventory to hand. stuff that into the tool bench. then fetch tool, then stuff tool into item chest. do this till storage of tool is full, then repeat forever.
as to the worker. have tool storage within their work zone area. now for commands for say lumber. [{until hands empty] find tree, move to tree, cut tree] follow this with goto tool storage, grab tool, then bind this in a until storage full on logs. and follow that with a forever grouping around that.
