Hello so i have got a problem, i want the harvester robot to go and harvest and then come back automaticaly but i dont know how you program the gateway to do that? Please Help ASAP!

commented

err ok so i got some images of what i tried but i don't even know what to put into them to make the robots do their thing automatically. and no i did not see any strange things from that link in my log files. i just need a clean fresh start on what to do atm i know how to power them but i just don't get the gateway's and the chest and all.

i think i see the problem: the chest and docking stations where the robots can drop off and get stuff needs to be in the working area (in 1.8+ you can specify a seperate area but not in 1.7.10)

commented

Just tried that AEnterprise and nope nothing worked, i dont mind restarting from fresh i just need help on what to put in the gates and stuff

commented

Did you have images of what you tried on here before?

(Also did any strange error messages appear in your log file, possibly similar to https://gist.github.com/LuigiHutch/ef81411be9653c2428c1ab03fc7d84f2)

commented

issue is still back now :(

commented

so basicly the robot settings are correct but it's AI get's stuck after a while?

commented

yeah

commented

i just don't even know what to do anymore nothing is working ? please help i don't care if i have to restart making all this i would just love a simple explanation on how to make it work.

commented

first one thing i noticed: don't put a 'if sleeping wake up' in gates, you can force it with redstone or red pipe condition but robots sleep when there is no work to reduce tick usage, forcing them to recheck for work while testing like now is fine but i think it can cause AI race conditons if you constantly force it awake

other then that i don't realy know for sure what's missing, i'd need to toy around with it a bit again. Also what is the exact BC version you are using?

@AlexIIL what is the current status of the BC guide? i know it's most likely far from usable ingame but we realy need some documentation online for people to look things up (or to be able to check the icons, i'm pretty sure about all the used triggers and actions here but some are very similar)

commented

well AEnterprise ive got my server open now do you want to join

commented

like you can join and fiddle around with stuff its buildcraft 1.7.10 with forge 1.7.10

commented

The only gate setup you really need to get a harvester working is:
Redstone signal off = Working area + Map location
Redstone signal on = go to station (which resets the robot)

Try making the landmarked map location area include the dirt below the crops and see if that helps.
Also, does the robot even harvest 1 of the crops then just set at the station for the rest of its life?

I recommend joining #buildcraft on espernet irc as it would be easier to help you :)

commented

well could any of you join my server which is open now and help me out with it its buildcraft 1.7.10 and forge1.7.10 and ip is:

commented

@TimeGumLord1 i removed the ip as putting that in the open on github is a good way to attract trolls, i've coppied it so i have it. right now i don't have time, maybe tomorow. i do need a full modlist with version to be able to join or forge will refuse the connection

commented

NO
can you not post the ENTIRE log into github? it is a pain to scroll thorough.

commented

i've deleted that comment to keep this topic doable, we don't need a full log, only the mods you have and their version, if it's a modpack a link to that is enough, if you don't know the exact modlist you can take a look in your mods folder for it

next time you want to share a log could you please use gist or pastebin for it?

also that serverlog link you send just shows a white page with a button that gives a bb tag

commented

ok so i have LuigiHutch on my server trying to fix this but we cant get it to work

commented

the server hosting website i use just does the files for you i think you can change/modify them but it just downloads buildcraft 1.7.10

commented

**Please could anyone join my server to help its open right now its got buildcraft 1.7.10 and you need forge 1.7.10 ip:timegumlord1.aternos.me

commented

i don't mind joining a server to help but right now i am in between classes at school and i have other things to do, tomorow i would have time to help but not right now, sorry

commented

ok thats fine if anyone else could that would be great

commented

we think that me and luigihutch have fixed this now the harvester works fine and the planter and the picker robot but the knight does not it has to be manually turned on
