UPCOMING VIDEOS IN THIS SERIES
Several 'challenges' have come up in the Discord discussions for using SAM - here's a list of the ones we have on the list to make as upcoming videos right now (if you have other ideas add them in the Comments below!)
How to dock SAM ships at 'uncontrolled' locations
1) someone else's dock you know the GPS of
2) Trade stations (this one is interesting as the Connector needs to be set to 'Trade' for docking at the station and turned off for your own base...)
How to SET a SAM drone to refuel itself
both batteries and H2 fuel should be used - separately and together
How to use a SAM drone to HAUL H2
1) battery powered ship (only hauls)
2) H2 powered
a) separate tanks for use/hauls
b) one tank for use/haul
+Prove that H2 does/NOT get robbed from tanks that have Stockpile on (in base or on ships)
How to configure/use SAM on a 'mothership' with other SAM drones.
Show specifically how to have the mothership dock with Connectors WHILE the drones are attached (i.e., "return to base after drones have filled the tanker ('mothership' in this case)")
Prove H2 flows through conveyor sorters (this is not a SAM specific test, just one that comes up a lot...!)
