Update/Revision: You CAN bypass the separate cooking system and ignore sucking ore into it’s own box. This will allow you to immediately pump any cooked ore back into the system and sort as with any other items by running your furnace directly into your drop box combiner.

The drawback to doing so is your drop box will always be filled with ore while cooking and this may require you to have more drop boxes. I would still do things as I’ve shown in this video as I would prefer to separate out any uncooked ore and save me drop box space (I tend to come home with full inventories)

Amazing guide, super easy to follow and copy. Thank you

Where do you get these names boxes?

Is this possible on console?

You don’t need a conveyor for furnaces to output into a box. You only need conveyors if you want to sort the output.

20:22 Where is the smelted sulfur ( going to ) ? xD

Why do you add a root combiner for your solar panels when you could just connect to the electrical pass through?

Dude I am saving this video 🤙

Lol I struggled to setup auto smelt just by sheer stubbornness 😂 with this I’ll have auto sort next wipe 😂

The only downside here is that you’re consuming a fair bit of a power, so at night it could drain the battery a fair bit. Is it possible to only have the furnaces turn on when there is ore to cook? If so, this would be a great 2nd part to this video, cheers!

Are two converyers filtering the same item faster or does this even work?

Well, I guess it’s been a while. This is totally new shit to me

What are people doing for charcoal now? Is there a way to create it through an automated system as well?

The use of the term “e-branch” is slightly maddening.

Its just a branch man.

There are no other branches in rust, so there are no reasons to specify that it’s an electrical branch.

We all know it’s an electrical branch.

As a matter of fact, if you were to call it “electrical branch” that would be more beneficial.

Do that ONCE, for the noobs when you first mention it, then say “and now, we’ll refer to that as a branch”

Ebranch isnt just slightly maddening…. It makes me sick.

I’m guessing this hasn’t made it to crust yet ?

I get its probably well worth it but i get a weird satisfaction from doing it myself 😂

After all this work, if my base gets raided I’m gonna be pissed!

Do they have this for console

How do I get the storage organizational spray that he has? I’m new to rust?

Genius! no joke!

Definitely should use this setup in molded server: DOMINION 2X PVE !

I’m on a server where large and small furnaces (when using automated industrial components) only fill ores into the first slot until it full or until a different item needs to be smelted, rather than evenly spreading the ore across all the slots to reach max efficiency. Is this intended? Is this normal for all servers? Is there a way to instead fill each slot evenly rather than the first one when using automation?

Can you get these neon signs for Consol edition

Is it possible to have drop boxes outside or on the roof, go into drop boxes in the base, then those drop boxes go into organized boxes? How would I do that if so?

And also tell raiders where your boxes are by following the pipes.

its always wiser to use the extra solar panel branch on the inside combiner to connect to a generator, incase you have other things like smart autoturrets and door controllers and your being raided or just some hack got on your roof and destroyed the solar panels.

Does it still work if u put metal frag, high qua metal, and sulfur in the drop box?

This don’t work anymore

The one question I have is where can I find that kind of box skins that you have?

@13:15
God dammit…I wish I’d known about this sooner. That would’ve made things less complicated.

“and it’s that simple” me scratching my head.

7:45 “THE SIMPLE Guide to Fully Automated Storage in Rust” – SURE! “Simple” ye

you are welcome for watching

Earned a new sub… Best sort storage automation

Redstone made easy belike 🤣

nice stuff. I thought I knew most of the industrial related info but definitely found several useful bits of information here. well worth the watch. thanks.

You should connect all your outputs to the drop box and let the system sort it. The problem of your system is that if you put metal frags in the drop box, they will not get sorted

ufff lovely ty!

Amazing vid btw

+1. Never put any electrical component where someone can destroy those, like roof , specially the combiners, bc pretty easy to destroy them. At least was some time before, idk if they change that. And its RUST. Some naked will do the work .

this is a great video. its too bad that the pipes cant pass through walls like wires can.

THIS IS THE BIBLE….Just used this system in my base….THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Good vid. I would add something though. It doesn’t make it more complicated, and could save someone’s sanity. 1 memory cell, one more conveyor, and a small box. Put the memory cell just before the splitters. Put the conveyor above the furnaces and have it set to pull the cooked ore into the small box. Have the small box output go to your industrial splitter to be sorted to their boxes. Why do this? Because no one wants to hear those furnaces going nonstop. It will drive you crazy. Now, when you put ore in the drop box, it will pull into the furnaces on automatically, then when all of it is cooked, they automatically turn off. It of course can get much more complicated from there.

I’m running out of power?

How do i get the skins for the boxes and glowing doors?

Great VID I have a question tho, any items that arent sorted from the drop box can I send them all into a box?

I would recommend putting the conveyors on the wall above/next to their respective boxes. Makes for a cleaner install and also if you want to change what boxes contain it’s easier to tell which conveyor goes to which box.

What if you have multiple drop boxes in your base – like having some in your compound and some on your roof? What would be the easiest way to get all the boxes to filter into the correct boxes in your open core/loot room?

Could you also make the furnace output go back to the drop box to be sorted?

Next stop: Find a way to put a clans worth of sorting/cooking into into the smallest space possible. Smallest, so it can be hidden and the guy that always has to build it doesn’t scream when it gets hit by a rocket every day.

This is the first time I have used automation in a base and you have made it a breeze to do! thanks for the time you invested in the video. It has helped me out a ton!

Hey rek i recently met you on a server dont know if you remeber me but I was calcium was a fun time!

off topic but what sandbox server are you using?

By far the most helpful box sorting explanation and tutorial I have seen since it’s came out. Thank you. I’ve basically just ignored sorting bc it seemed too complicated. Keep it up

i hope sometime soon they incorparate the drone into this system. So you could do something like transfer ore from your farm base to your main base on the other side of the map.

Do you know how to seperate cctv camera and targeting computers from the resource catagory in the conveyors?

Nice guide, but you might add:
– Increased speed out of the dropbox by linking two storage modules *on the same box*
– Electrical splitters don’t need to use only port 1 & 3. They automatically balance on whichever outputs are used.
– You can keep everything sorted by having another conveyor excluding the items you put into a box, pumping other items back into the start of the system. That way your messy teammate can’t give you a reason to throw a spear at him.

Cool.. still never doing it and sitting out the front of your base for three hours with a waterpipe instead

Hey Reksmore, just wanted to let you know your build videos have helped me out alot. I’ve started using build techniques I’ve seen in your videos, and I’ve been making variations on many of your smaller base designs. Keep up the good work.

Automatic sorting is very OP, people don’t use it because they’re lazy af.

Would all this fancy trickery work with skulls too? <3

An extra tip:

You can connect a second wall of conveyors, one for each going in, with an inverted filter (copy and paste and select to exclude) all going into combiners and into the dropbox. Set the filter fail of each original conveyor to the power input for each respective one, and now you have your loot automatically moving back to your dropbox if put in the wrong place and back into autosorting system for only the frag cost of combiners and conveyors.

It does have the slight downside of the box not sending items out of its full and has possible items to bring in, but unless you are overwhelming the system with items it should’nt happen, and even then its just a slight limitation of saving half the power, not a downside of adding them.

Props to @x-tremespeed for this one, goat.

W video mate

Hey! I’ve recently just started messing with the industrial update. What’s the reasoning for sending the cooked frags/sulfor straight to the intended boxes instead of feeding it back to the start of the loop? Won’t you need another conveyor and combiner for each box to deal with any cooked materials from other sources than smelting with this system?

Cool video for learning the basics of electricity and automation, but for more advanced systems this doesn’t really help.

Great video!

Why not go from furnace to the first combiner? Then conveyer to box, that way when you raid and get smelted ores they go in the drop box as well?

This is hands down best automation video i have seen! Great work keep it up!

Video is really easy to follow and really helpful im lost when I have to do anything industrial. Also had some good fun playing bedwars wit you.

thx, that help me alot.

They did recently add a seasons system to Rust, where the sun changes positions throughout the wipe cycle, which could easily be its own video topic if you chose to dig into that. Some people have made documentations on Rust’s seasons, however I haven’t come across any videos explaining it in layman’s terms.
Anyway, thanks for the automation guide, cheers

I Needed This!!

1:28 you forgot to put the timestamp (i know its in timeline but just in case you forgot)

holy tthis is the easiest and understandable guide for this ive ever seen.

Separating the cooked ore as a different system is a pain if you drop cook sulfer and metal frags to the drop box as well so I like to make everything go back to drop boxes.

Argh, you were so close on solar panel placement, and then went right off the road into a ditch! In your video, the sun is clearly south of the east-west line, so you should face your panels south to get electricity for as much of the day as possible. Facing northeast in your case means the sun will be fully behind the panels in the evening, as the sun will set west-southwest. This will change over the course of a wipe, especially on longer wipe servers, so you should recheck a few times per week.

NO THANKS!

Great tutorial Reks! Is it possible to take from the cooked Ore and then move it into the TC?

its so easy, til the pipes all disconnect…AGAIN! great stuff and not your fault that FP can’t seem to make this stable

Been doing this for a while. Being able to come into your base and put ALL mats, comps and ore into one box and it gets whisked away is awesome.

finnaly i can organize my worms

SHIFT + LEFT CLICK?!?!?!? 2000 hours in Rust and I never knew I could do this?! I’ve just been color coding my pipes!

I automated a base once, and guys said it looks ugly so builder just removed all pipes 😢

Brilliant video. I had some of this down already but you’ve shown better ways to do it! Thank you 🙂

Yay now I can loose my kits a lot faster

Pee suit.

I really love the automation of my whole base and even I could learn something from this video. Like putting the ore in a box before it gets sucked into the furnace to get the dropbox nice and empty. What I personally do differently (aside from a way nicer piping xD) is that I highlight my pipes in different colors so that I always know which pipes are going in which loot room. That makes it easier for me if I need to reconnect something or boxes get destroyed etc. I do the same with my electrical. It´s not much more time you need to invest but it makes everything cleaner and nicer imo. Keep on Reks. Love your content. <3

this is exactly what I wanted to know, but was too lazy to figure out myself 🙂

I’m always the base organizer whenever I play rust with my mates. This system makes my work much easier, thanks! Also, really good and easy to follow video 🙂

Ughhhh I didn’t realize u could just directly connect the electric furnaces together with pipes, before I’d use a splitter to split the pipes into each furnace then back out the furnaces and into a combiner and then to the out box…. I also for some reason didn’t think to use the pass through on the conveyors… i feel a lil goofy…

Hands down the best thing facepunch added to rust. A system to let us spend more time doing what we WANT to do, instead of sitting in a base, organizing boxes, managing furnaces. Great video!

Question: Why use second splitter for the furnaces? Since you only use 4 furnaces, you could save 1 splitter by putting three furnaces on the first splitter and then sending the branch out from the leftover branch to the 4th furnace. That 2nd splitter is just wasted in this design.

eyo! lets go!

it just said 38 seconds ago?

Ayo

Best vid Ever!!!
