Industrial Rollers Version 2.5.0 - RimWorld 1.1!

What's new in 2.0? - new features, balance changes, new mechanics and QoL changes. read here!

Description
Lets you set up automated rollers to transfer items to stockpiles and free hauler's time.
Use In-wall rollers to transfer items into rooms while keeping the room sealed and maintaining its temperature.
Roller pushers can scan and move items to a different roller system based on configured pusher storage settings.

While you can make use of a simple small belt system (for example: hauling chef's ready meals to fridge)
A well planned, broad and organized belt system can greatly benefit your hauling capabilities. I can't wait to see people's implementations!

Recommended mods
Some recommended mods that enhance automation experience:

• S.A.L.: Station Automation and Logistics - Add auto crafters to your workbenches
• Save Storage & Outfit Settings lets you save your custom made storage settings. works with Pullers and Pushers! (industrial rollers version 2.1 and above)
• Mods that provide increased stack sizes
• Mods that provide more power generation options

Usage tips

• Place stockpiles on the roller to force pawns to haul to them and make sure the stockpile has the same priority as the destination stockpile
• This mod adds structures to the Industrial tab.
• Use pushers to split a big general roller line into branches of rollers who deal with specific items
• Every type of roller and the pusher require electricity. however, you don't need to provide power to each roller. Rollers transfer power, a single connection is enough
• Items are forbidden, don't worry about it. it prevents pawns from trying to haul items from the moving rails. once the item reaches its destination or gets stuck (for example, when the stockpile is full) the items will automatically allow again.
• Does not require additional mods / libraries. as for now, there are no known conflicts with other mods and can load into an existing save game

FAQ

• Can i add\remove it from my existing save?
  Yes, you can add it.
  To remove, you'll need to make sure you have no mod related structures placed.
• What are these rollers?
  Conveyor belts! This mod is heavily inspired by Factorio.
  And since the mod is not easy to learn, i try to keep things similar to the game many people know (this is why underground rollers are limited in range).
• Research?
  No. i decided to skip research for this mod because i don't believe in the game's current research system. you can read my suggestion here.
• My Puller\Pusher are not working
  Make sure you've set the Storage settings for them. Storage settings represents the items they will be handling.
  For Pullers, also make sure you have set a destination stockpile or set it to "do forever".
• Why are my Pullers\Grow zone pullers consuming so much electricity?
  This was a balancing act. Pullers and Grow zone pullers power consumption is based on attached stockpile\grow zone size, each tile costs 4.5W and 2.5W respectively. With a minimal power consumption of 60W for small zones.
• Even with the huge power cost, i still think Puller is OP
  Many agree, you can go to the mod settings and enable Hardcore Mode. it will limit the range of the Pullers.
• Can a Pusher place items inside a building\structure X? and can a Puller pull from it?
  As long as the structure implements game's Storage_Building interface, it can.
  if it doesn't, i can't fix it at my end.
• I have items teleport around on my rollers
  Make sure you have no extra stockpiles on the belts. you should only have them where you need them (on the belt entry point if you dont use Pushers).
  Seeing a stockpile, the belts are trying to place the item in it, but since there is a belt under that stockpile, it can get into a loop.
• Something is still not working for me
  Feel free to ask, but it would be nice if you include a screen shot. it will be much easier to detect the problem.

In-development / Future releases

• Multi lang localization
• MOAR AUTOMATION!

Great! Just as in Factorio. I miss it Will try soon

[Commander Blackwatch]

Genius and So Amazing i will try this mod and also i watch your video
 

[Ramsis]

Hey there sport, love the mod, instantly fell in love with it, my only complaint is the lack of pictures to work with! Not everyone likes watching videos sadly.

So, if you can please toss up some extra screenshots of amazing builds!

[zmadz]

amazing mod, thx for sharing and welcome to the community

[onebit]

Epic!

[14m1337]

  legendary. gotta give it a try in my next colony.

[Hydromancerx]

So these are "Conveyor Belts" ?

[historic_os]

Thanks everyone for the great feedback both here and on steam!
yeah, these are conveyor belts and this mod is heavily inspired by Factorio

Updated the post to include version 1.0.01(adds some QoL changes) and added some more images!
haven't had the time yet since the mod release to actually play and make a fully automated belt system colony but ill be trying it myself soon once i finish working on some new updates.
if anyone started playing with the mod and has some cool builds to share, im excited to see!

And obviously, always wanting to get more feedback and feature ideas. thanks for the support!

[zmadz]

i thought resources were telepoting but they are just not showing cuz they are stuck in the wall roller

[KTVSUN]

Here is a screenshot:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144/Capture%20plein%20%C3%A9cran%2022102016%20151843.jpg

My cook has 2 zones around him one for meat, one for vegs. I m trying to feed these zones from the stockpiles setup on the adjacent rooms.

Since the belt only takes what is directly on it i made a lot of belts on the vegs room to the left.

What i believe happen is
- something gets picked up by one of the vertical belts, when it reaches the queue, since it is in a zone it gets teleported out of its position at a random spot in the stockpile. That s one thing and i understand the logic eventhought aht s not what i would want to happen.
- as it lands at its new position it is free to use and keep moving and remain free to use untill it reaches it s destination or another belt

Here are 4 sequential screenshot to show what i mean, the pile of potatoes keeps jumping like this (screens are taken like 1 sec apart):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144/pile%20of%20potatoes%201.jpg

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144/pile%20of%20potatoes%202.jpg
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144/pile%20of%20potatoes%203.jpg

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144/pile%20of%20potatoes%204.jpg

Note that the 2 piles of rice which are marked as do not use, keeps swapping position too.  The one which isnt marked as do not use doesnt move. And i suppose it s here because it s been teleported through the same process and thus will remain untagged like the one in the kitchen.

I hope my explanation is clear otherwise i ll try to make a video.

Thank you

Hey!

Here is a screenshot:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144/Capture%20plein%20%C3%A9cran%2022102016%20151843.jpg...

it seems, from what i understand by your description, that you are having is having too many supplies provided to your stockpile.
what you could do is set the belt with supplies next to the destination stockpile and have a pusher(configured to take these resources) redirecting items to your small stockpile. that way youll end up having always items to fill that small stockpile + 1 stack on the belt next to the pile and one more in the pusher standby(overall 2 extra stacks near your stockpile). something like that - https://i1.someimage.com/62U9J55.png.

its not ideal but thats the best solution atm. im currently actively working on another component which will be a "pusher" that lets you config which items and how many of them to send outside from a stockpile to another one. that will completely solve this specific problem.
the ETA on that is somewhere in the next day if all goes well

regarding the question on steam not being able to interact with items on belt - this is in order to prevent haulers from trying to haul from the belt. items will allow back once reaching a destination or when they are being detected as stuck

i thought resources were telepoting but they are just not showing cuz they are stuck in the wall roller

yeah, the in-wall unit needs better graphic representation of items in it, ill be working on it soon after the pusher component.


thanks for the feedback!

[KTVSUN]

Thank you for your quick reply.

So i experimented with a new setup to avoid belts feeding into belts.

It works fine but.. you see that pile of corn? it was forbidden until it reached that last spot where it is waiting in front of the zone. It vant get to the zone because the zone is full. Once it reached this spot it became unforbidden.

edit: forgot the link
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144/new%20setup.jpg

I m not complaining, i ll just keep on experimenting and posting wierd or unexpected behaviours.

I ll give a try to your advice in the previous post.

K

[KTVSUN]

Ok last update and i stop bothering you.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10144/working.jpg

I first added a zone at same priority to the selected tiles but the stuff as still getting untagged as do not touch inside the wall and i cant place a zone inside the wall.

So i removed the wall and added the whole of the belt as stockpile and now everything is fine.

K

[historic_os]

no problem always looking for more feedback and ideas!
as mentioned before, im currently working on a puller that will take items from stockpiles, it will have a setting to "take until stockpile X is full" and should handle small stockpiles just like these near the chef.
