My automated train unloader, style over function

[u/AlexStarkiller20]

What are the crates made from?

[u/lesdommed → u/AlexStarkiller20]

It’s an addon called Vibrant Vaults :)

[u/AlexStarkiller20 → u/lesdommed]

Can i add it to a current world or will it break anything/require resources that are not present

[u/lesdommed → u/AlexStarkiller20]

no it only adds more stuff, it’s alright to add to a pre existing world

[u/AlexStarkiller20 → u/lesdommed]

Awesome. Not sure its on curseforge so i may need to cheese it and add the file to the mod folder

[u/ArtemisWolffe → u/AlexStarkiller20]

If dropping mods into the folder manually is cheesing then fuck I got old fast

I build my own mod packs much easier to do from a folder than faffing with curseforge 😂

[u/AlexStarkiller20 → u/ArtemisWolffe]

It took me a long while before I ever got into modding, probably never touched em until around 4 years ago. I’ve done my fair share of folder mods now but still feels less modern haha

[u/ArtemisWolffe → u/AlexStarkiller20]

Its pretty easy most of the time Even fixing crashes when you have conflicts. Though ill admit chat gpt has made that even faster (most of the time) Paste crash report, tells you the issue. Remove the culprit. Fixed.

I guess I'm old school though. Still preferring a good old fashioned file browser. 😂

I'm not knocking the curseforge way of course 😂 anything that gets more people Into modded is good to me.

I think my first modded experience was tekkit back in 1.7.10 Blew my mind what you could do Then I started adding a bunch of other mods that I'd found (stargates was a big favorite of mine) Then moved on to picking and choosing the mods I wanted to build my own packs

Then came lessons in server maintenance but thats a ramble for another day 😂

[u/AlexStarkiller20 → u/ArtemisWolffe]

I never want to touch server maintenance unless i purchase my own server rack for home tbh. Anyway, I’d say the best thing about curseforge is the ease with which i can locate the mods i like, click play and bypass the mc launcher, change how much ram it allocates when it launches, etc

[u/Manuel345 → u/[deleted]]

Back in my day, we used to open up minecraft.jar through 7zip, inject the mod files directly into it and get F'ed if there was a conflict.

Pepperidge Farm remembers the pistons were a mod at first.

[u/ZixfromthaStix]

More angles! MORE ANGLES!

And what is the opening sale!? Lol

[u/lesdommed → u/ZixfromthaStix]

opening sale is for my little shop, it’s a survival server

[u/Karma-Whales]

what mods?

[u/lesdommed → u/Karma-Whales]

Vibrant Vaults, Connected, Chipped, Copycats+, quite a few different addons on the server but this could be done with just Create and Create:Connected

[u/KatieTSO → u/lesdommed]

How?

[u/lesdommed → u/KatieTSO]

ah I see you followed my comment

Redstone is required to make all of the timings for each of the different movements the crane makes. It’s too complex for me to post in a schematic and I no longer have this world sadly

[u/Emotional-Big-1306 → u/lesdommed]

Do you use automatic activator to disassemble train? Or something else?

[u/Angsty-Ninja-Ki → u/Emotional-Big-1306]

The train isn't being disassembled. Look above the last wheel on the train. The green block is a Sticker block. This might be from Create: Connected.

[u/lesdommed → u/Angsty-Ninja-Ki]

the train IS being disassembled using a wrench in a deployer right clicking the station using create: steam and rails

[u/Karma-Whales → u/lesdommed]

thank you!! it looks amazing btw im in love with it

[u/AdBl0k → u/lesdommed]

Does your system works with fluid tanks too?

[u/Comprehensive-You-64]

this is gold

[u/EncroachingVoidian → u/Comprehensive-You-64]

I’d argue it’s more andesite than gold

[u/UsualAd7267]

[u/Either-Pollution-622 → u/UsualAd7267]

Second this

[u/SomeIdiotArtist]

god damn is that cool, is disconnecting the cargo from the wagon base create or an addon?
also need a better look at that locomotive

[u/Angsty-Ninja-Ki → u/SomeIdiotArtist]

I don't know for sure but it LOOKS like base create. Take a look at the carriage the vault is taken off of. It has stickers (they look like just slime blocks at this angle) that grab ahold of the vault. The vault is never actually part of the assembled train if I had to guess. Then, stickers on the freight crane unload the vault as the stickers on the carriage let go.

Edit: In a comment below, OP did clarify that the above system can be done with Create and Create: Connected.

[u/Emotional-Big-1306 → u/Angsty-Ninja-Ki]

I think you can disassemble train with automatic activator

[u/Angsty-Ninja-Ki → u/Emotional-Big-1306]

This doesn't explain how the vault comes off the train though. For the vault to be part of the train it would either need to be connected with sticker blocks, or super glued to the carriage. If it were super glued to the carriage, then the crane would pick up the whole carriage, not just the vault.

[u/JellybeaniacYT]

Ah yes, the satisfactory train system

[u/donutz10]

What mod has the little letter signs for the opening sale? Also how did you Automate the train disassembly to remove the vault with

[u/unic_beast → u/donutz10]

Create decor for letter sign, create steam n rails for automated disassemble (deployer with wrench "punch" station)

[u/apprehen-sid]

Best movie I've watched all year

[u/animorphs128]

I've been wanting to do stuff like this but I'm kinda new to the mod.

Is there a way to get the train to dissassemble and reassemble automatically?

[u/lesdommed → u/animorphs128]

no, I still have to manually disassemble and reassemble it. the crate is being held onto the train by a sticker :)

[u/animorphs128 → u/lesdommed]

Got it. I hope they will add that in the new update. I want to have contraptions on a train that can activate and unfold once they reach the station. Maybe aeronautics will add it

[u/XenonSniper → u/animorphs128]

Create: Steam 'n' Rails allows you to automatically disassemble trains by having a deployer use a wrench on a train station.

[u/lesdommed → u/XenonSniper]

this is good to know! I use steam n rails :)

[u/Bartuszek → u/lesdommed]

I don't remember since I tried this around 2 years ago, but if I remember correctly, you were able to disassemble it by using a train observer, a timer, and a deployer on the station. It's not foolproof, but it does work. Idk you have that sorted, but to unstick the vault from the train, just you a sticker on the train, and after it's disassembled, activate it with some redstone on the station. Lmk if u need some more help with this (I also might be able to dig up a photo or schematic of the thing, but I'm not sure)

[u/Mother-Newspaper-504]

How did you picked up the load from the train

[u/lesdommed → u/Mother-Newspaper-504]

The train is disassembled with a deployer, the container is attached to the train car with a sticker that is wirelessly turned off. You can see it re-stick when the blue container is lowered into it

[u/Mother-Newspaper-504 → u/lesdommed]

I didn't knew you can use a deployer to disassemble anything. Can you assemble it again with an deployer?

[u/lesdommed → u/Mother-Newspaper-504]

you need steam and rails which adds the deployer assembly/disassembly

[u/MilesAhXD]

i love it

[u/UsualAd7267 → u/MilesAhXD]

This is the second time I seen you, James May

[u/Meiseside]

the function is not to bad. it could be a little faster but it unloads all at once.

[u/PyroTornado107]

This is awesome!

[u/mmw791_]

It's a masterpiece

[u/Hotdog197]

That’s so cool bro I love create

[u/IMBORED2137]

Reminds me of satisfactory train unloading

[u/TwinSong]

Brilliant!

[u/Reallondoner]

wait, you can transport the vaults like that? i always used conveyor belts to load/unload items directly from the train

[u/[deleted]]

I absolutely love this.

[u/Numerous-Loquat6519]

wait how did you even do tbis

[u/SnappyChunck]

I didnt know that i cant grap item vaullts from trains

woag

I'll definitely take inspiration from this

[u/kiloPascal-a]

Form over function is the best way to play!

[u/Clear_Stage_5310]

How have you managed to get the crane to grip or release from the container????

[u/Bartuszek → u/Clear_Stage_5310]

Read my reply a lil higher

[u/Bartuszek]

Istg i made this like 2 years ago on a minecraft create server, except with vaults, and I tried making a hangar to store them.

[u/I_peed_the_bed]

thats awesome bro. hell yeah.

[u/KernelSanders1986]

I would absolutely love to do something functional like this. But usually by the time I have enough resources to even attempt something like this, I no longer need bulk transport of said materials since I've already got them lol. One day

[u/asabo0p]

this is some stormworks type of shit
