Autokit Assembler

The script allows you to automatically save an irreducible stock of necessary components and ammunition on a ship or base. The work requires ingots, one or more assemblers and containers for storing stocks. Easy to install. Allows the production of vanilla and mod components if added to the production list.

Main features

1. production of components using one or more assemblers working in cooperative mode
2. automatic transfer of crafted components from assemblers to designated storage containers
3. verification of the production feasibility of mod components

Example ship: Storm Ghost Light

For the script to work, the following are required:

a) program block
b) assembler
c) container
d) LCD for output (optional)

The installation of the script code into the program block is carried out by subscription in Steam. Scripts must be allowed in the world setting.

In the control panel:

1. Add the same Autokit prefix (default) to the names of the main assembler, one or more storage containers, and the LCD display panel (if need). If no assembler is specified, the first one found will be used.

2. Add the !Autokit prefix for assemblers that will not be involved in production. This applies to the Survival Kit, which is also an assembler.

3. Load the script code into the program block from the script library and click OK

4. In the "Custom Data" field of the program block, specify the desired value after the "=" sign for each component that you need

5. Recompile script

Assemblers must be enabled, in a build state, and connected to conveers. The main assembler is involved in production, the rest will be connected to it through the "cooperative mode", but the removal of components into storage containers is done from all assemblers installed on the grid.

After the first run of the script, the list will be automatically generated in the "Custom Data" field of the Autokit program block. Just enter the number of components of each type you need. The lower the component is in the list, the faster it gets into the assembly queue. The list in "Custom Data" will be generated based on the list of components in the script code, where you can immediately specify the number of required components. After changing the "Custom Date" field, recompile the script.

Attantion: Do not add non-stackable components to the list, such as oxygen and hydrogen bottles, handle grinders, welders, drills etc.

The output of the production progress is carried out in the control panel and is duplicated on the LCD panel (if used). The script monitors the presence of ingots and displays "no ingots" if there are not enough of them. Wait a few seconds and if the state of production does not change, then the ingots are definitely over - the script runs with a frequency of about 1.5 seconds. and "no ingots" can appear while ingots are being transferred to assemblers over pipelines. This refresh rate makes the script easy to use on servers.

By default, the settings show the main vanilla components and ammunition. To add new elements to the list, you must first find out its in-game name, and then check the possibility of its production. Not all mod components can be produced - it depends on the mod itself. To add new items to the list, you must:

1. manually produce the desired component in the main assembler and place it in the first slot of the assembler inventory

2. execute the script with the "item" parameter and see what name will appear in the control panel (or LCD-screen)

3. copy the received name into the parameter string and execute the script that will inform you about the possibility of production

If production is possible, then you need to add a new component to the list in the script code and "Custom Data" by analogy with the existing ones.

In the script code, the element description consists of three parts, separated by a semicolon ";". Here the first part is the in-game name of the components or ammo, the second part is how the item is stored in containers (it is output by the "item" command), and the third is how the item is represented in the assembler queue. When adding a mod element, the second and third parts of the description must match.

You can change the first part of the description as you see fit, including translating the name into another language.
