Construction Yard

Description
A GDI Construction Yard, inspired by C&C: Tiberian Dawn.
The crane is operational and connected to the conveyor system, you can grab things with it and / or weld them up.

8892 PCU
3093 Blocks

Features:
Welding Crane with magnetic plates, scripted controls or Turret Controller operated
2 Connectors outside at the crane
Scripted Airlocks (using EasyCommands)
1 Advanced Assembler, room for more
1 Oxygen Tank
1 Battery
Various decorational blocks

Crane Controls:
The crane controls can either be done via the turret controller and some G-Menue work or by using the script (which is a copy of this[spaceengineers.merlinofmines.com]).

The crane is operated via the Helm next to it:
- Use the mouse for going left/right and up/down, controlling the two rotors closest to the helm.
- Use C/Space for the rotor which is attached to the head
-Use Q/E for the crane head hinges to bring the magnetic plates into a pickup position.

This should make the crane much more easier to control.

Air Management:
The Airlocks are automated and run on sensors. Do not manually open doors. If you want to open the Hangar, use the button panel next to it (inside) or "run" "OpenHangar" on the programmable Block. To close, "run" "CloseHangar". The commands are case sensitive, no space between the words. Note that the Airlocks are shut down during the de/pressurization of the Hangar.

Special thanks to "Merlin of Mines" who published EasyCommands and helped me getting the script running.

I just updated the blueprint with scripted crane controls, rocking Easy Commands. Enjoy!

Ah yes, I have seen that. I will have a look at it and maybe I can get the pistons set on Q and E, or some other fancy controls. The turret controller is doing it alright, but maybe I can squeeze out a bit more. ;)

Really cool! You could use EasyCommands to control more of the crain using keyboard controlls, if you're interested. Check out the drill rig example. Happy to help!
