What the Conveyor System Does

Functionality

The Conveyor System enables players to link multiple inventories together, allowing materials to flow automatically from one station to another. By setting up conveyor links, players can create a seamless production line for refining items, reducing the need to manually move resources between different stations. Once set up, conveyor systems will maintain 2 recipe ingredients at a time in the refining station. This gives a buffer to the amount of times the mod checks all territories for when to update the amounts. If crafting speed is set to really fast on a server, refining stations may not be as 'continual' or smooth merely because they are processing the ingredients faster than the checks come by.

Command Activation

To use the conveyor feature, players must ensure the command is enabled:

• Command: .logistics conveyor
• Shortcut: .l co

Setting Up Conveyors

While you can name your chests or station something else, you must add on the conveyor names. To utilize the Conveyor System, players must adhere to a specific naming convention for their stations: (Sender/Receiver)Group#

• Sending Inventory: Name these stations/chests using an "s" prefix (e.g., s0, s1).
• Receiving Inventory: Name these stations/chests using an "r" prefix (e.g., r0, r1).
• Groups: After the "s" or "r" you specify a number to choose a conveyor group. This establishes different lines of conveyors.

You can name a particular chest/station with both s# and r# to have it receive items, process them, and then send them off to another chest/station within the group.

Example Naming

• A chest that stores wood would be named wood s0.
• A sawmill that produces wooden planks and sawdust could be named r0s0.
• A papermill that processes the sawdust into paper could be named Paper r0.

How to Use the Conveyor System

Permissions

The conveyor system will only work on a territory if the actual owner of that territory has them enabled personally. If you are merely a clan member, your personal setting will not effect their castle. Clan ownership is not enough, it is only personal ownership. You can check the actual owner of a territory by looking at the world map and hovering over the territory in which you are attempting to use the conveyors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Identify Stations: Determine which chests and refining stations you want to connect. Keep in mind, only renamable stations work with conveyors.

2. Name the Stations: Use the appropriate naming convention:

   • For output stations: Use s (e.g., s0).
   • For input stations: Use r (e.g., r0).

3. Set Up Connections:

   • A station named s0 will send materials to the next station named r0.
   • You can create multiple groups by using different numbers (e.g., s1, r1).

4. Check Recipe Requirements: Ensure that the necessary recipes are checked in the receiving stations, so they can process the materials as they arrive.

5. Monitor Production: As materials flow through the conveyor system, monitor the output of each station to ensure everything is functioning as expected.

Important Considerations

• Naming Consistency: Ensure all stations are named correctly according to the conventions to avoid disruptions in the conveyor system.

• Inventory Management: Monitor the inventory levels of each chest to prevent halts in production.

• Recipes: Ensure that all stations have the correct recipes selected to process incoming materials effectively.
