Generator backup

0 Upvotes

I saw a circuit for the generator backup fail over circuit and was wondering the best way to make it so you can combine generator to increase the power. Maybe a splitter going off the branches to 2 different memory cells. And generator root powered into the the switch?

Sam sites and turbines

2 Upvotes

Maybe this should go in the regular rust Reddit but here goes anyways. How do you guys place your turbines and Sam sites. I try to place my Sam’s a bit higher then the turbines so they don’t get hit and they can defend against mlrs. But I feel like people could just heli bomb it and start rocketing from up top.

Automatic counter?

1 Upvotes

How can I count the items that enter the chest with a counter? I don't want to count one by one. I want you to count the products from the automation as meters. If the chest is empty, the counter must be reset. How can I do this??

Hey everyone, Defango here! You know how it is in Rust. You're always looking for that edge, that perfect setup that just works. I've been searching for a truly bulletproof, automated on/off furnace system, and honestly, I haven't found anything out there that quite hits the mark. I put my brain to work and engineered a solution for Wood Powered Furnaces.

I'm breaking down my custom, industrial-grade auto ON/OFF furnace setup for Rust. This isn't just some flimsy circuit; this is a robust system designed to protect your valuable resources and maximize your smelting efficiency, even when you're offline. We're talking about a system that intelligently manages your Wood, turning them on when there's ore to process and off when they're idle saving you from wasting your Wood. Meaning it can be patched directly into a wood box without roasting your entire supply.

SAM site triggering seismic sensor

2 Upvotes

I’ve recently started hooking up a seismic sensor to a smart alarm to notify us if we’re being raided. I’m not 100% sure as I haven’t tested, but I believe that either the SAM site shooting is triggering the alarm OR if the SAM sites hitting our turbines is causing this.

Is anyone aware if the SAM site shooting is triggering this or if it’s caused by it hitting the turbine? Is there a way around this with a circuit or is the best bet to just build the same sites higher than the turbines if that’s the cause?

PVE space airlock

1 Upvotes

I've hurt my brain on this circuit but can't figure it out. I want one door to open with a pressure plate, close, wait for a few seconds (or not) then the next door opens. Like a 'real airlock'. I can get it to work going one way, but when going back through the wrong door (the first door from above) is triggered first. Please help!

How do you deal with single failure points in small base electrical designs?

4 Upvotes

The more optimized your electrical layout, the more a single well-placed raid can shut down your entire defense. One splitter feeding multiple turrets, one electrical branch on a single wall, one wall housing your BCN/NIH cores, battery, and switches all grouped together. Efficiency demands consolidation, and consolidation creates choke points.
Let's assume raiders aren't dumb. They're hitting the exact wall or component that kills the most power/turrets in one shot. What's your actual strategy?
I know "hide it better" is the obvious answer, but I want to hear how people think about this tradeoff between electrical efficiency and raid resilience. Is there even a clean solution, or is a failure point just an accepted cost of a well-designed base? Personally, I run OR circuits behind every single turret so that at most only one turret goes down per wall breached, rather than losing the whole grid at once but this runs with a TIME cost of having to run a million different cables which in a small group of people is there worst cost to pay.

P.S: I am mainly talking about logic circuits ( branches, cores etc ), I know you can have backup batteries.

Automated club FX using rustplus.js and a custom timeline editor

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

40 Upvotes

I put together a full showcase video where you can see the rest of the light show set to different tracks:

👉 https://youtu.be/MAdln9bnM4E

For those curious about the technical details:

  • I used the open-source rustplus.js library by Liam Cottle to communicate with the in-game API.
  • The audio is fed from an IP radio stream AzuraCast playing through the in-game boomboxes.
  • I built a custom Node.js backend to handle the cueing system and align the visual timeline with the audio stream delay.

Can anyone help with this auto sorter error?

2 Upvotes

Yo can anyone help explain what I’m doing wrong with my auto sorter. It’s my first time trying to set one up. My set up is Dropbox -> conveyor -> buffer box -> conveyor -> master splitter -> loot room splitter -> filtered conveyor -> specific end box.
The loot will go to from Dropbox to buffer box but no further.

havnt posted in a bit been taking a break. someone asked about a 7 segment decoder so i thought i would help out and make one for them. this is just the brute force method by using a OR tree. i prefer this method because its copy and paste friendly when working with it in-game.

Need base designed for automation

5 Upvotes

I recently got up to speed on auto sorting/smelting/crafting and I am in need of a good base thats designed around this. For context, I play on Zombieland PvE server, so it doesn't need to be the strongest fortress in the world, but ideally be able to be strengthened towards purge day. I also play with a group ranging anywhere from 3-8 players. If anybody has a favorite base design of theirs I would love to see it!!

Flashing lights

I have built an arrow on a building and I want it to look like it’s moving. So end light to light up then the next one and so forth until the whole arrow is lit up. Then they all shut off and repeat. What would be the best way to wire something like that up?

Auto/manual lighting circuit

Hello all! Working on a lighting circuit that will automatically come on at night with a solar panel/blocker combo or be overridden by a manual switch. I’ve tried a few ways with a memory switch but can’t get it to reset properly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Door control

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to wire a door controller and a button up so when someone buys a “note” from a vending machine you can push the button and a door will open for “x” amount of time before it will auto close.
Once it closes it would require purchasing the “note” again in the vending machine to have access to the door.
How would I go about wiring something up like that?
Thank you for any tips and assistance.
