Space Engineers Creating a Sorting System Building 2017 08 06 12 16 21
This is what I intended to be a tutorial video of how to understand and set up a very capable and extensive sorting system in Space Engineers. While it might be a bit overkill for most ships or stations, the intention was to delve into the weeds on how the sorting system can work, and then actually build one, so both advanced and beginning Space Engineers might gain some understanding of this rather nebulous and sometimes misunderstood block: the Conveyor Sorter.
The mock-up which we build in this video is available on the Steam Workshop as a blueprint: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles...
Sorry about the diagram; In watching the video, I see it's all whited out.
The diagram can be found here, in PDF format: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0F...
Feel free to download and share with other Space Engineers.
This is a vanilla build, so it doesn't need any mods, although I discuss the use of "mineral extractors" (there are none in the build). This build is fully annotated, so players can learn a bit more about the build and how it works.
